A light salmon kibble for maintenance, sitting in our Average band. Fat is kept to 10% and the same bag covers adults and seniors. Everything about the analysis says steady dog, and that is the point of it.

Where to buy: coming soon

Live retailer links are coming soon. Once we have them from UK retailers, where to buy and the best price will appear here.

Our view

Likely to suit

Older dogs and steady adults, with fat held to 10%
A dog that gains on very little, at 340 kcal per 100g
Fish-fed dogs: fresh salmon at 16% with fish meal behind it
Owners who want minerals printed, calcium through to cobalt and selenium
A very large dog, as the label's table runs up to 70kg

Worth watching

Wheat second among the grains, for a dog with a cereal intolerance
Blood meal with no species, and lard, which is pork
Carbohydrate at an estimated 57.6% of dry matter
Garlic, in a seasoning amount

The score, in context

Kronch Main 48.2

All one Average. Typical dry food: Good.

An ordinary maintenance kibble on paper, light by design, with a mineral declaration more generous than most gentler foods offer.

What's in it

Fresh salmon16%Mostly water, which the oven takes back out.
BarleyA decent cooked grain, with fibre, selenium and copper.
WheatThe cereal dogs react to most.
Fish mealAlready dried, so this is what delivers the protein.
LardFood grade pork fat, on a salmon-led bag.
Maize
Blood mealConcentrated protein, no animal named.
Beet pulpFermentable fibre for firm stools.
Brewer's yeast, garlicYeast for B vitamins; garlic far enough down to count as seasoning.
Vitamins and minerals

Full panels: minerals from calcium to selenium, and a vitamin line each. The B12 figure is printed in milligrams, almost certainly a unit slip on the published sheet.

No moisture declared, so the dry-matter figures use the customary 8%.

Named ingredients

Fresh salmon (16%) Barley, wheat, fish meal, lard (food grade), maize, blood meal, beet pulp, brewer's yeast, garlic, vitamins and minerals.

Against the range

One maintenance recipe for adults and seniors. Fresh salmon at 16% leads, with fish meal further down doing most of the protein work once the oven has taken the water. Barley, wheat and maize carry the starch, lard supplies the fat, and the mineral and vitamin panels are printed line by line.
