Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs that cannot have chicken or beef
Dogs kept off fish: neither fish nor fish oil appears
Owners who want a meat heavy bowl, well under the 46.2% carbohydrate typical of adult dry food
Slowing back legs, with glucosamine and MSM at 177.5 mg/kg each
Dogs new to rabbit, a highly digestible meat few foods use

Worth watching

Three animals in the recipe, so a single meat trial is off
Calcium high at 2.83% of dry matter: put a large breed puppy past your vet first
Ash at 12.5% of dry matter, from a generous helping of meat and bone

The score, in context

Millies Wolfheart Countryside Mix 73.1

All one Excellent. Typical dry food: Good.

The meat is the whole reason for the score, with dried duck high enough to keep protein up once the fresh meat has given back its water.

Freshly prepared lamb20%
Sweet potato16%Leads the starch.
Dried duck15.5%Ends up bigger in the finished kibble than its place suggests, and holds protein up.
Potato, lucerne
Dried lamb, dried rabbit3.5% eachRabbit will be a new meat for most dogs.
Duck fat, lamb gravy3.5%, 1%Both name their animal.
Minerals
Joint packGlucosamine and methylsulfonylmethane at 177.5 mg/kg each, chondroitin sulphate at 125 mg/kg.
