Harringtons Just 6 Dry: Lamb review

1. Chicken 63.6
2. Lamb 63.0
3. Salmon 62.8

All three Good. Typical dry food: Good.

The short list and the size of the declared meat block do the work, and a starch load above the category norm holds all three back.

• Freshly prepared lamb22%
• Dried lamb24%The dependable part of the meat block.
• Salmon oil3%Carries the omega side, so this is not fish free.
• Lamb gravy1.5%
• Dried potato20%
• Sweet potato17%
• Peas11%
• Rapeseed oil1%
• Vitamins & MineralsDosed in print, zinc and selenium each in two forms.

Zinc as sulphate and as the more readily absorbed amino acid chelate, selenium as selenite and selenised yeast, vitamin E at 500 mg.

Salmon oil

3%

2% on the chicken, 2.5% on the salmon

Peas

11%

9% on the chicken, 11.5% on the salmon

Ash, as fed

8%

Highest of the three

The red meat option, with a little more bone showing in the ash.

Every recipe gives 50.5% to the meat block and prints the fresh and dried shares inside it. The dried share, close to a quarter of the recipe, is what survives into the kibble. Dried potato and sweet potato bind it, with peas behind, and there is no wheat, maize or rice.

Salmon oil is in all three at 2% to 3%. Protein runs from 23.9% to 26.1% of dry matter and carbohydrate from 51.6% to 53.7%. The mineral pack, vitamin E at 500 mg and the tocopherol preservative are the same throughout.
