50/100Good

DryAdult

A short, plain kibble for dogs that never seem to run out of fuel, in our Good band with most of the adult dry category. Dried poultry protein leads and poultry fat lifts the energy to 394 kcal per 100 grams. The label stops there, with no percentages and no bird named.

Our view

Likely to suit

Working and sporting dogs that drop weight on a leaner food
Owners who like a seven-entry label
Dogs that get on well with maize and rice, which do the carrying
Adults from toy to giant, all on one bag

Worth watching

Poultry named by family, never by bird, so no use for a strict elimination plan
Fat at 17% is a rich bowl for a dog whose exercise is a gentle circuit of the park

The score, in context

JosiDog Active 50.0

All one Good. Typical dry food: Good.

Putting dried meat first does the important thing; saying so little about it is what keeps the score from climbing.

What's in it

Dried poultry proteinWater driven off first, so its place at the top is a fair reflection. The bird is never named.
Whole grain maizeProperly cooked and ground, digested well by most dogs.
Rice
Poultry fatWhere the energy comes from.
Beet fibreThe only entry doing gut work.
Hydrolysed poultry proteinThere for taste: intensely savoury to a dog.
Minerals

A full vitamin set, with zinc as a glycine chelate at 150 mg per kilo and iron at 175 mg per kilo.

No moisture figure declared, so the dry matter reading rests on an assumed 8%.

Named ingredients

Dried poultry protein; whole grain maize; rice; poultry fat; beet fibre; hydrolysed poultry protein; minerals

Against the range

Seven entries, no percentage on any of them, and every animal entry says poultry. Protein converts to 27.2% of dry matter and fat to 18.5%, on an assumed 8% moisture as none is declared.
