45.8/100Average

DryAdult

A cereal-led kibble for small adult dogs, and honest about it. Whole grain maize opens the list, dried poultry protein supplies the concentrated meat, and dried duck and hydrolysed poultry protein finish the animal side. There is no fish on the label. It lands in our Average band, a step below most adult dry food.

Our view

Likely to suit

Small-breed adults, the dogs it is written and portioned for
Dogs kept off fish: no fish meal, no fish oil
Owners happy with a cereal bowl, where maize and rice carry the energy
Fussier small eaters. Hydrolysed poultry protein keeps it tasting of something
A label short enough to read in one sitting

Worth watching

Most of the poultry never pinned to a bird, so a strict elimination plan has nothing to anchor to
Dried duck protein in its own right, for the odd dog that has reacted to duck
Carbohydrate at an estimated 49.7% of dry matter against 46.2% typical

The score, in context

JosiDog Mini 45.8

All one Average. Typical dry food: Good.

Steady, with a coherent analysis and dosed minerals; maize first and unnamed poultry are what keep it a band below the middle.

What's in it

Whole grain maizeMost of the bag is cereal. Whole grain keeps the bran and germ.
Dried poultry proteinWater gone before mixing. Poultry could be chicken, turkey, duck or goose.
RiceA gentler reputation on delicate stomachs.
Beet fibreHelps stools keep their shape.
Poultry fatNamed to the family, not the bird.
Dried duck proteinNamed on its own terms.
Hydrolysed poultry proteinA palatant small dogs find hard to walk past.
Minerals, yeastYeast for B vitamins, a modest inclusion this far down.

Zinc at 160 mg per kilo as a glycine chelate, iron at 200 mg and manganese at 16 mg, with vitamin E at 220 mg keeping the fats stable.

No ingredient carries a percentage.
