Our view

Likely to suit

Working dogs through a hard season
Dogs that struggle to hold condition: the same day's feeding comes in fewer grams
Owners who want the animal side itemised, fresh salmon at 12% down to dried duck at 10%
Joints that take a pounding, with glucosamine and MSM at 177.5 mg/kg each

Worth watching

Fat at 28.3% of dry matter is a lot for a dog whose day runs to two walks and a sofa
Turkey, duck and salmon all on the list, which matters if poultry or fish is off the menu

The score, in context

All one Good. Typical dry food: Good.

Named, numbered meats and a full mineral panel count in its favour, and an analysis led by fat over protein holds it where it is.
