Our view

Likely to suit

Working and sporting dogs, with fat at 19.6% of dry matter
Dogs kept off fish. Dried algae supplies the omega 3 and no fish oil appears
Dogs that must avoid chicken, beef and lamb: turkey, pork and venison are the only animals
Fussier eaters, with turkey gravy at 1.5% on top of three named meats
Older dogs still keen on a long walk, given the dosed joint pack

Worth watching

A quiet dog needs a smaller bowl at 389 kcal per 100g
Three meats, so it cannot run a single-meat trial
Calcium at 2.28% of dry matter. Mention it to your vet before a large-breed puppy grows on it

The score, in context

Millies Wolfheart Forager 76.1

All one Excellent. Typical dry food: Good.

Genuinely meat heavy, with two dried meats near the top pushing protein up and carbohydrate down, and the fat makes it a working ration.

What's in it

Dried turkey22%Leads the list, and as a dried meat it carries more of the finished kibble than the fresh entries.
Sweet potato20%The main starch.
Freshly prepared turkey18%Largely water, most of it given back in the oven.
Turkey fat8%
Freshly prepared pork, dried pork7.5% eachPork on both sides of the fresh and dried line.
Freshly prepared venison5.5%Rare in dog food, so most dogs will not have met it. Useful for a dog that reacts to the everyday meats.
Tapioca, chickpeas4.5%, unstatedTapioca is starch and little else, and its percentage is printed.
Turkey gravy, tomato pomace, minerals1.5% (gravy)
Dried algaeThe omega 3 source, which keeps the whole food fish free.
Joint pack, herbs, dried fruit and roots, yucca extractGlucosamine and methylsulfonylmethane at 177.5 mg/kg each, chondroitin at 125 mg/kg. The rest is trace-level.

Vitamins A, D3 and E, with zinc, iron, manganese, copper, iodine and selenium all given figures in their standard sulphate and salt forms.

Calcium reads 2.28% of dry matter: fine for an adult, a question for your vet with a large-breed puppy.
