46.7/100Average

DryAdult

Flavour

An everyday kibble in three proteins, built on one consistent plan with a named meat meal at 29% leading each. Lamb and Turkey sit in our Good band and Fish a step behind in Average. The likeable part is the short set of working extras, all printed with doses.

Our view

Likely to suit

Complaining joints. All three dose glucosamine at 300mg/kg
Owners who rotate proteins on one shared skeleton
Big dogs and big appetites, with guidance running to 60kg
Dogs that settle better on rice
Extras quantified on the bag

Worth watching

Salmon oil in every recipe, so the range is not fish free
A meat meal tells you nothing about the cuts behind it
Estimated carbohydrate near half of dry matter in every recipe

The score, in context

Turkey 59.0
Lamb 56.7
Fish 46.7

Three recipes across Good and Average. Typical dry food: Good.

The differences are small, so the meat your dog suits should do the choosing, with the extras lifting the range above a plain supermarket build.

The natural pick for a dog that needs the protein without the calories.

All three are built to one plan: 29% of a named meat meal, then white rice at 26%, barley at 11%, oats and brown rice. Every recipe carries salmon oil and linseed, so none is fish free. The working extras are dosed in print on each, glucosamine at 300mg/kg, chicory root at 1000mg/kg and yucca at 200mg/kg. What moves is the protein and fat balance, and the size of the salmon oil share.
