62.2/100Good

DryPuppyAdult

A grain-free fish and turkey kibble in our Good band, and one of the few built on named fish: trout and salmon, with turkey the only land animal. The whole 40% meat block is itemised on the label. Calcium is declared at 1.09% of dry matter, a level that suits a growing large breed.

Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs that thrive on fish, trout at 13% and dried salmon at 7% among them
A large-breed puppy, with growth covered and calcium in range
Homes avoiding beef, lamb and pork
Hard-working joints. Glucosamine and methylsulfonylmethane are printed at 175 mg/kg each
Owners who like every species named

Worth watching

Turkey fat, salmon oil and turkey gravy count inside the 40%, so the meat itself is less than the headline
Turkey shares the bowl, so it will not stand in as a fish-only elimination diet
Carbohydrate estimated at 50.0% of dry matter

The score, in context

Millies Wolfheart Forerunner 62.2

All one Good. Typical dry food: Good.

Nothing on the label is wrong; the arithmetic of a 40% block that counts fat, oil and gravy is what keeps it level with the typical adult kibble.
