Kronch Active review

Name: Kronch Active
Brand: Kronch

46.7/100Average

DryAdult

Kronch Active is a Danish salmon kibble built for dogs that burn what they eat, with fat at 16% against 24% protein. A full mineral panel is published under the analysis, more than a lot of working rations manage. Our scoring places it in the Average band, and for a dog with a job to do it reads as a straightforward ration.

Our view

Likely to suit

Working and sporting dogs that get through a bowl quickly
Dogs that suit fish better than land meat
Owners who like a declared moisture figure
Big dogs and small ones, on a table from 1kg to 70kg
Minerals published in full, calcium included

Worth watching

Blood meal names no animal, so no strict elimination plan
Lard is pig fat, behind a salmon headline
Rice, maize and barley carrying the starch

The details

Dog fit

Listed for adults of every size. The label puts a 15kg dog between 160 and 250 grams a day, so an active one sits near the top and a settled one near the bottom.

The score, in context

Kronch Active 46.7

All one Average. Typical dry food: Good.

The plant side and an unstated meal share hold protein and processing low, and for a hard-running dog the fat and energy matter more than the band.

What's in it

Fish: fresh salmon, fish meal16%The 16% is the fresh salmon; the meal, unstated, does most of the protein work.
Rice, maize
BarleyFibre and micronutrients once cooked, and gluten.
LardPig fat. An energy-dense choice for a working ration.
Blood mealProtein-dense, and names no animal.
Brewer's yeastB vitamins, and appetising for a dog too tired to think about dinner.
Beet pulpHelps hold a stool together.
Lecithin, vitamins and minerals

A full vitamin and mineral panel, with iron the most generously declared, which suits a dog asking a lot of its blood.

B12 is printed in milligrams where micrograms are usual, which looks like a slip in the published figures.

Named ingredients

Fish (16% fresh salmon, fish meal), rice, maize, barley, lard (of edible grade), blood meal, brewer's yeast, beet pulp, lecithin, vitamins and minerals. The page adds: "Kronch Active contains 24% protein and 16% fat."

Against the range

A single recipe. Fresh salmon at 16% and fish meal lead, with rice, maize and barley carrying the energy and lard lifting the fat. Moisture is declared, so the dry matter figures are measured ones.
