GreenAcres Working Dog: Turkey & Rice review

Name: GreenAcres Working Dog: Turkey & Rice
Brand: GreenAcres

56.4/100Good

DryAdult

A plain, practical turkey and rice kibble sold in one big bag for busy homes and kennels. The cereal side is what marks it out, with barley at 20% a bigger share than most UK dry foods give it. The extras are chosen for use: two prebiotics, a dosed joint pair and seaweed meal. It sits in our Good band.

Our view

Likely to suit

Multi-dog homes and kennels, with a single 15kg bag as the only pack
Active dogs on a settled routine; the feeding chart runs to 60kg
Digestion that likes a hand, MOS and FOS each at 500mg/kg
A little wear in the joints. Glucosamine is at 300mg/kg and chondroitin at 150mg/kg

Worth watching

Fat at 10.9% and 342 kcal per 100g, so a hard working day needs a bigger bowl
Poultry fat with no bird named, no help in pinning down a chicken problem
Barley brings gluten, which matters only if you watch for it

An even, everyday reading on an honest label; the unnamed poultry fat is what stops it climbing.
