69.9/100Good

Our view

Likely to suit

Small breed adults
Dogs settled on chicken, the one animal on the list
Fussy little eaters. Chicken stock and six herbs work on the aroma
A cereal-free bowl, with sweet potato, peas and potato for starch
A small dog prone to loose stools, as fibre is a generous 4.0%

Worth watching

Chicken is over half the recipe, so not for a chicken-intolerant dog
The omega 3 supplement names no source, so fish is possible
Vegetable stock names nothing behind it

The score, in context

Chicken 69.9

All one Good. Typical dry food: Good.

Thoroughness does the earning here: a named animal at more than half the recipe with its split printed, and a mineral panel dosed in full.
