The score, in context

JosiDog Master Mix 38.9

All one Average. Typical dry food: Good.

The order of the list sets the score, with two grains above the meat; the analysis itself is squarely ordinary for the category.

What's in it

Whole grain maizeKeeps its bran and germ.
BarleyEasily digested once cooked. Carries gluten.
Dried poultry proteinAlready concentrated. The family name, not the bird.
Meat and bone mealThe vaguest entry: any animal, mainly there for calcium and phosphorus.
Beet fibreDoes most of the fibre work.
Poultry fat, rice
Hydrolysed poultry protein, hydrolysed animal proteinFor savour. The second names no species.
Maize protein, minerals
Beetroot powder0.1%A colour and a nod at this level.

A full vitamin pack with L-carnitine at 200 mg per kilo, plus zinc at 160 mg as a glycine chelate and iron at 180 mg, all dosed.

Meat and bone meal and hydrolysed animal protein name no species, so an elimination plan cannot lean on this.
