68.5/100Good

Cold pressedPuppyAdult

A Good-band pressed food that earns its name on the animal side. Duck leads at 30%, with sea fish at 6.5% and green tripe at 5.5%, each named and given a figure. The starch is potato and sweet potato, with no cereal anywhere.

Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs needing a break from chicken and beef, neither of which appears
Picky eaters. Green tripe is about as persuasive as a dry ingredient gets
Cereal-free homes
Older joints, with dried green lipped mussels on the label
Gulpers, as a low-temperature pellet gives way in water and does not expand

Worth watching

Sea fish and green lipped mussels, for a dog kept off marine foods
Potato at 23%, a large single entry
Carbohydrate at 48.2% of dry matter, above the 43.2% middle for pressed food

The score, in context

Guru Full On Feast 68.5

All one Good. Typical dry food: Good.

The named meat share does the lifting; the starch load behind it is what keeps it from climbing.

What's in it

Dried ground duck30%Dried before pressing, so it counts for more meat than a fresh 30% would.
Potato23%
Sweet potato7%With the potato, stands in for cereal.
Dried ground sea fish6.5%Marine omega 3.
Green tripe5.5%Unbleached stomach lining, and very good at getting a reluctant dog to finish.
LinseedFibre as well as fat.
Evening primrose, linseed and rapeseed oilsEvening primrose brings gamma linolenic acid for skin condition.
Seaweed, pumpkinSeaweed for iodine.
Herbs, fruit and vegetables, yuccaGrouped entries with no weight beside them.
FOS, MOS, dried green lipped mussels

A full vitamin group printed dose by dose, with manganese, copper, zinc and iodine as oxides and iodate.
