Greenwoods Dry: Ready Steady Turkey with Sweet Potatoes review

Name: Greenwoods Dry: Ready Steady Turkey with Sweet Potatoes
Brand: Greenwoods

64.7/100Good

DryAdult

Flavour

A short label done properly, with three grain free recipes in our Good band. Every ingredient carries its own percentage, from the meat down to the last pinch of dried pumpkin. The beef is the one to pick for a single animal; the other two bring poultry in behind the headline meat.

Our view

Likely to suit

Owners who read labels closely
Dogs kept off grain
Rotation feeders. Only the animal changes between recipes
Keen and fussy eaters, with fresh meat opening every label at 28% or better
Dogs that need beef and nothing else, in Beef Beef Hooray

Worth watching

Unnamed poultry in the lamb and turkey, so use the beef for a strict elimination plan
No calcium figure on any of the three, the number to have for a big youngster
Energy dense, so a sofa supervisor wants the low end of the guide

The score, in context

Ready Steady Turkey 64.7
Beef Beef Hooray 62.6
A Whole Lotta Lamb 52.8

All three Good. Typical dry food: Good.

The spread inside the range comes down to construction: the beef and turkey carry more protein and less starch than the lamb.

DL-methionine: Added; Not on the others

The best all-rounder of the three on our scoring.

Three grain free recipes built to one plan: fresh meat first, a dried protein behind it, then potato, sweet potato, lentils or peas for the starch and desugared beet pulp for fibre. A percentage is printed against every ingredient. The vitamin and mineral panel is dosed in full, B group included.

Fat comes from the animal in each: poultry fat in the lamb and turkey, beef fat in the beef. Moisture is not declared, so the dry matter figures assume 8%. Only the turkey adds DL-methionine.
