Our view

Likely to suit

Small adults who never seem to slow down
Beef and only beef named in the meat
Dogs happier without cereal; sweet potato and beans take its place
Older little joints, with glucosamine and MSM at 178 mg/kg each and chondroitin at 125 mg/kg
Gut support with figures: FOS at 175 mg/kg, MOS at 50 mg/kg

Worth watching

The omega 3 supplement names no source, and marine oil is the usual one
Rich at 391 kcal per 100g, so keep the scoop honest for a quiet little dog
Beef throughout, fat included

The score, in context

Angus Beef 77.3

All one Excellent. Typical dry food: Good.

Nothing exotic earns the step up: one named animal in a large share, low starch, and extras with printed doses.
