61.5/100Good

DryAdult

A cereal-based kibble drawn up for big dogs and their big bowls, sitting in our Good band. Turkey meal leads the animal side, and the meal sheds no water in the oven. A small joint pair is printed with figures, which puts it ahead of labels that only name them.

The score, in context

Turkey 61.5

All one Good. Typical dry food: Good.

A steady everyday choice, held level by the family-named fat and digest and the pea protein.

What's in it

Rice: pearl rice, brown rice22%, 4.5%About as easy as starch gets for a dog to digest.
Turkey meal26%Dried and ground before the mixer, so the printed share is near what the kibble holds.
Oats, barley7.5% eachSoluble fibre from the oats. Barley carries gluten.
Chicken fatDigestible and well liked, though not the bird on the front of the bag.
Linseed4%
Poultry digest3%Names a family, not a species.
Pea protein, dried peas, beet pulpPart of the protein total is plant work; the beet pulp is for stool quality.
Salmon oil1%The faster-acting half of the omega pairing.
Alfalfa, seaweed, chicory extract, herbs1% to 0.1%Minerals, and food for the gut's useful bacteria.
Glucosamine, chondroitin, yucca extract0.028%, 0.023%, 0.02%A modest joint pair, but printed. Yucca for kennel odour.

Every mineral dosed, as everyday sulphates set generously, from zinc at 277.8 mg per kilo down to selenium at 0.55 mg.

No moisture on the label, so the dry-matter figures assume the 8% a kibble usually holds.
