JosiDog Agilo Sport review

Our reading places JosiDog Agilo Sport in the Good band, alongside most of the adult dry category. The build is sound for an active dog, with a dried meat entry leading, salmon protein adding a second animal source and carbohydrate estimating out at 44.6% of dry matter against the 46.2% typical. Disclosure is the limit here, not composition. There are no ingredient percentages, no species behind the poultry, and no declared moisture, so the dry matter column has to be built on the standard assumption.

Ingredients, as declared: dried poultry protein; whole grain maize; rice; poultry fat; beet fibre; hydrolysed poultry protein; dried salmon protein; hydrolysed vegetable protein; minerals; yeast

The bones of this recipe are shared with the rest of the JosiDog dry range. A dried meat entry comes first, whole grain maize and rice sit behind it, poultry fat supplies energy and beet fibre handles the gut. What marks the sport version out is what has been added on top of that frame.

Dried salmon protein is the notable addition. Salmon protein is concentrated and digests well. Its amino acid profile complements the poultry, so a mixed protein recipe gains something without the list growing much longer. Hydrolysed vegetable protein and yeast sit alongside it, the first for savour and the second for its B vitamins and the mannans in its cell walls.

Protein converts to 28.3% of dry matter and fat to 17.4%, with energy at 387 kcal per 100 grams. Carbohydrate estimates at 44.6% of dry matter, a touch under the 46.2% typical for adult dry food. That is a workmanlike active profile, not a dramatic one. For most sporting dogs it is the right shape: enough to fuel the work, without so much that a rest day turns into an upset stomach.

The vitamin panel is where the sport intent shows most clearly. Vitamin E arrives at 200 mg per kilo, an antioxidant that matters more the harder a dog's muscles are working. Biotin at 950 mcg per kilo supports coat and claw, and the B group is dosed line by line beside them. Zinc comes in as a glycine chelate at 160 mg per kilo. A gut takes chelated minerals up more easily than the plain sort.

This gap runs right through the range. Poultry is a family and not a bird. No entry on the list carries a percentage either, so the meat share of the kibble stays unknown. If your dog eats well and works well on it, that stays a paper complaint. It matters in practice only when you are hunting for a trigger ingredient.

£2.60 a kilo, sold in a 15kg sack.

As a guide, a 15kg adult dog in moderate condition needs roughly 217 grams a day, assuming about 840 kcal a day (110 × bodyweight^0.75, the standard maintenance estimate). That comes to about £0.56 a day. A dog genuinely doing a day's work will need more than that. The label's chart starts at 230 grams for a 20kg dog.
