Name: Kronch Basic
Brand: Kronch

41.9/100Average

DryAdult

An Average, plain-spoken fish kibble that aims at nothing beyond feeding a grown dog properly. The list runs to a single breath, fresh salmon and fish meal over rice, maize and barley. Below it, the mineral and vitamin panels are published in more detail than the recipe really demands.

The score, in context

Kronch Basic 41.9

All one Average. Typical dry food: Good.

A recipe built to be steady, with transparency its strong suit and protein and nutritional balance behind it.

What's in it

Fish: fresh salmon, fish meal16% fresh salmonThe meal share is unstated, though dry meal does more of the protein work than water-heavy fresh fish.
Rice, maize
BarleyBrings fibre with selenium and copper, and carries gluten.
Lard (food grade)Pork fat, on a bag whose front says salmon.
Blood mealNo species given.
Brewer's yeastA good natural source of B vitamins, and dogs like the taste.
Beet pulp, lecithin
GarlicSeasoning level, a Nordic habit.
Vitamins and minerals

Full mineral and vitamin panels per 100g, calcium and phosphorus through to cobalt; vitamin B12 is printed in milligrams, a unit slip in the source panel.

No moisture figure on the label, so dry-matter numbers assume 8%.

Named ingredients

Fish (16% fresh salmon, fish meal), rice, maize, barley, lard (food grade), blood meal, brewer's yeast, beet pulp, lecithin, garlic, vitamins and minerals.
