50.1/100Good

DryAdult

A deliberately plain kibble for little adult dogs, and it lands in our Good band. Turkey is the only animal on the list, and most of it is dried, so the 30% on the bag sits close to what reaches the kibble. The hypoallergenic claim rests on that one bird. Grain is very much present.

Our view

Likely to suit

Small adult dogs, the only size this bag is portioned for
One named animal, with turkey supplying all of the meat
Little dogs that do well on cooked cereal: white and brown rice at 22% each, oats at 19%
Owners who like extras itemised, from FOS at 970 mg/kg to yucca extract at 190 mg/kg

Worth watching

More cereal than turkey in the bag, and carbohydrate at 56.0% of dry matter
An omega 3 supplement with no source named. A fish-free household should ask Lakes first

The details

Dog fit

Listed for small adult dogs. The feeding table stops at 13kg to 15kg, so for a genuinely small dog weigh the portion and expect a fraction of that amount.

The score, in context

Turkey 50.1

All one Good. Typical dry food: Good.

Good on our scoring: the dried-led turkey lifts it, and three cereals sharing the bulk hold it back.

What's in it

Turkey: dried turkey, freshly prepared turkey, turkey fat, turkey gravy30% (22%, 4%, 2%, 2%)Dried-led, so the bag's figure sits near what reaches the kibble. Turkey digests easily and runs leaner than chicken.
White rice22%Cooks down into something a small stomach handles easily.
Brown rice22%
Oats19%Fibre and a useful set of trace nutrients.
LinseedAhead of the beet pulp, which is unusual. Plant omega 3.
Beet pulp, alfalfa, minerals
SeaweedMostly for its iodine.
Omega 3 supplementSource not named.
FOS, chicory extract970 mg/kg, 0.05%Food for the bacteria in the large intestine.
Yucca extract, dandelion190 mg/kg

No joint supplements in this recipe, if you know the brand from its senior bags.
