JosiDog Regular review

Name: JosiDog Regular
Brand: JosiDog

42.2/100Average

DryAdult

The everyday all-rounder of the range, one bag written for adults from toy to giant. Whole grain maize leads and dried poultry protein follows, with poultry fat high enough to give real energy. It lands in our Average band, and the numbers are better than a maize-led list suggests.

Our view

Likely to suit

Multi-dog homes that want one bag for every size
Busy, working or simply energetic dogs, with fat at 16.3% of dry matter
Dogs that get on fine with grain
A really big eater: the feeding table runs out to an 80kg dog
Sensitive guts, with beet fibre and hydrolysed yeast in quiet support

Worth watching

Meat and bone meal and hydrolysed animal protein name no animal
Maize is the only cereal, so a maize-sensitive dog has nowhere to hide
High energy, so a quietly exercised dog needs honest portions

The score, in context

JosiDog Regular 42.2

All one Average. Typical dry food: Good.

An ordinary result, not a worrying one: respectable numbers for a maize-led food, held back by dried and rendered meat with no species named.

What's in it

Whole grain maizeKept whole, with its bran and germ. The only cereal.
Dried poultry proteinAlready dried, so it pushes the protein figure. Poultry can be chicken, turkey, duck or goose.
Poultry fatGenerous for a general adult food, and where the energy comes from.
Beet fibreKeeps stools in shape without much bulk.
Meat and bone mealRendered, bringing calcium and phosphorus. Could come from almost any animal.
Hydrolysed animal proteinA palatant, no species named.
Minerals
Hydrolysed yeastB vitamins and yeast prebiotics, in a small amount.

A full vitamin panel with amounts, iron at 180 mg a kilo, and zinc and copper as glycine chelates, a form absorbed better than a plain salt.

With two animal entries unnamed, this will not help narrow down a suspected sensitivity.
