DryAdult

Flavour

Five Good recipes in one house style: freshly prepared meat measured at the top, a joint care mix with a figure against each part, and a dosed prebiotic pair. Only the beef uses grain. Transparency is Outstanding on all five, and the meat is what they stand on.

Our view

Likely to suit

Owners who want the fresh meat named and measured at the top of the list
Older or stiffening dogs. Glucosamine, chondroitin sulphate and methylsulfonylmethane each carry a figure
Rotation feeding, with one construction running through all five
An unsettled gut, with mannan oligosaccharides and fructooligosaccharides dosed in print
Grain-free homes: four of the five build on sweet potato, potato, peas and lentils

Worth watching

Fish in four of the five, as salmon oil or salmon itself. Only the lamb leaves it out
Lamb gravy in the woodland recipe, despite a front of bag naming duck, salmon and venison
Egg in four of the five, leaving one choice for a dog that reacts to it

All five Good. Typical dry food: Good.

Large declared meat shares and figures against every supplement earn the placing; the water in fresh meat keeps the range from climbing further.

Against the range

Meat: Duck, salmon, venison; One or two animals on the others.
Ash, as fed: 6%; The lowest in the range.
Protein, dry matter: 23.9%; 22.8% to 26.6% across the five.

Useful when a dog has already been through the usual meats.

Every recipe opens with freshly prepared meat and a printed percentage, from 32% on the lamb to 43% on the beef. Fresh meat is mostly water and much of it bakes off, so protein lands at 22.8% to 26.6% of dry matter. The beef is the only one with grain; the other four build on sweet potato, potato, peas and lentils.

A dosed joint care mix, a dosed prebiotic pair and the same twelve botanicals sharing 1% appear on every bag. Pea and potato protein prop up the protein figure on most of them.
