70.6/100Excellent

DryPuppyAdult

A fish-led, grain free kibble with an unusually wide cast of animals, and it lands in our Excellent band. Dried salmon heads the list at 20%, with fresh salmon, goat, dried rabbit and trout behind it. The joint doses and every trace mineral are printed with figures.

Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs ready for a change of protein. Goat and rabbit rarely turn up in British dog food
Big puppies still filling out, with calcium at 1.52% of dry matter
Mixed households: one bag runs from toy to giant, puppy to senior
Stiffer older dogs, with glucosamine and MSM at 177.5 mg/kg each and chondroitin at 125 mg/kg

Worth watching

Fish from the top of the list down to the salmon oil at 5.5%
Goat and rabbit share the bowl with two fish, so it cannot narrow a trial diet to one suspect
Mixed herbs, a heading that does not say what is inside it

The score, in context

Millies Wolfheart Gamekeepers Mix 70.6

All one Excellent. Typical dry food: Good.

The lift comes from construction: dried salmon at the top and carbohydrate well under the adult dry norm, with no single strength propping the rest up.

What's in it

Dried salmon20%Already dry before the mixer, so it carries real protein into the kibble.
Potato, sweet potato11% potatoMost of the binding.
Freshly prepared salmon10.5%
Tapioca, chickpeasTapioca is nearly pure starch, there for texture. Chickpeas bring some fibre and plant protein.
Freshly prepared goat, dried rabbit9%, 8%Two animals few dogs have eaten, which is what makes them useful. Rabbit is lean and easy to digest.
Salmon oil5.5%
Freshly prepared trout5%A second fish.
Tomato pomace, salmon gravy1.5% gravyPomace handles the fibre.
Joint packGlucosamine and MSM at 177.5 mg/kg apiece, chondroitin sulphate at 125 mg/kg.
Mixed herbs, apple, carrot, cranberry, seaweed, botanicalsSeasoning at trace level. Seaweed is the one with a job, as an iodine source.

Vitamins A, D3 and E, with zinc and iron at 48 mg, manganese at 34 mg, copper at 12 mg and iodine at 0.96 mg per kilo, all in sulphate or iodate form.

Mixed herbs is not broken down on the label.
