Huntland Grain Free Adult: Scottish Loch Salmon review

Name: Huntland Grain Free Adult: Scottish Loch Salmon
Brand: Huntland

68.8/100Good

DryAdult

Flavour

A British grain-free range that keeps its construction simple and repeats it faithfully. The best feature is the meat split printed behind the 50% headline, which shows how much protein survives the oven. All three land in our Good band, level with the typical adult dry food.

Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs that get on better without cereal
Owners who like the fresh, dried and stock shares spelled out
Swapping between recipes, since only the animal changes
Gut support in the food: FOS and MOS in all three
Owners avoiding chicken, with no poultry in the lamb or the salmon

Worth watching

An unnamed omega 3 supplement in all three, so check fish with the maker
Pea protein lifts part of the protein figure in the lamb
Declared calcium runs from 1.46% of dry matter on the salmon to 2.62% on the lamb

Dog fit

Listed for adults: the lamb for every size, the turkey and the salmon for small and medium breeds. The vitamins and minerals carry no dosed panel, so ask the maker if you need a zinc or copper figure.

The score, in context

Deboned British Turkey 69.5
British Grazing Lamb 69.3
Scottish Loch Salmon 68.8

All three Good. Typical dry food: Good.

The margins are so slim that the running order hardly matters, with the turkey fractionally ahead.

What's in it

Freshly prepared loch reared Scottish salmon and hand netted river trout36%Two fish, and the largest fresh share in the range.
Dried salmon, fish stock12%, 2%The smallest dried share of the three.
Sweet potato
Peas, white potato
Beet pulp, linseed
Vegetable stock, omega 3 supplement
AsparagusIts own flourish.
FOS, MOS, vitamins and minerals

Salmon is paired with river trout, so this is two fish, not one.

Named ingredients

Scottish Salmon and River Trout 50% (includes 36% Freshly Prepared Loch Reared Scottish Salmon and Hand Netted River Trout, 12% Dried Salmon and 2% Fish Stock), Sweet Potato, Peas, White Potato, Beet Pulp, Linseed, Vegetable Stock, Omega 3 Supplement, Asparagus, Naturally Derived Fructooligosaccharide, Naturally Derived Mannan Oligosaccharides, Vitamins and Minerals.

Against the range

Energy: 320 kcal per 100g; 354 on the other two.
Meat split: 36% fresh, 12% dried, 2% stock; More dried meat on the lamb and the turkey.
Calcium, dry matter: 1.46%; Lowest of the three.

The lightest of the three and the fish choice, a shade behind the others on our scoring.

Each recipe declares half the bag as its headline animal and prints the split between freshly prepared meat, a dried portion and a stock. Sweet potato leads peas and white potato as the binders, with no grain in any of the three. Linseed, beet pulp, an unnamed omega 3 supplement and two prebiotics are shared, and the declared analysis is the same across the range. What changes is the animal, the size of the dried share, one small flourish each and the calcium.
