JosiDog Lamb Basic review

Name: JosiDog Lamb Basic
Brand: JosiDog

56.4/100Good

DryAdult

JosiDog Lamb Basic names its red meat and prints a figure against it, 21%, which not many labels at this level bother with. It sits in our Good band. Poultry fat and dried poultry protein sit beside the lamb, so this is a mixed recipe and not the single meat the name suggests.

Adults of any size after a moderate everyday bowl, at 370 kcal per 100 grams
Dogs a bit heavier than they ought to be. L-carnitine is dosed at 200 mg per kilo

Worth watching

Poultry and an unnamed hydrolysed animal protein beside the lamb
Maize ahead of the lamb, and barley bringing gluten

The score, in context

JosiDog Lamb Basic 56.4

All one Good. Typical dry food: Good.

Maize ahead of the meat and poultry alongside the lamb keep it a little behind the middle of the field, and the printed lamb figure is a real disclosure.

What's in it

Whole grain maizeKeeps the bran and germ. Does the heavy lifting by weight.
Dried lamb protein21%Dried, so the figure is honest weight. A meaningful amount of concentrated lamb.
Rice
BarleyFibre and trace minerals, and gluten.
Poultry fat, dried poultry proteinThe reason this is not a poultry free food.
Beet fibreHandles the gut side.
Hydrolysed animal proteinNames no species at all.
Minerals, yeast

A full B vitamin set and L-carnitine at 200 mg per kilo, with zinc at 150 mg as a glycine chelate and iron at 175 mg.

Sold as lamb, but poultry fat and dried poultry protein are both on the list.
