59.6/100Good

DryPuppyAdult

A one-animal recipe built on a meat most dogs have never been fed, in our Good band. Pork comes fresh at 29% and dried at 14%, with pork fat and gravy completing the animal side, and potato, sweet potato, chickpeas and tapioca underneath. Turmeric and lucerne are two entries you will not find on many labels.

Our view

Likely to suit

A dog whose run with the usual meats has been a string of small disappointments
Novel protein plans. Pork is the only animal, fat and gravy included
Large breed puppies, with calcium at 1.52% of dry matter, a level a growing frame can take
Dogs kept off fish; there is no fish oil on the list
Older dogs, with joint doses printed on the bag

Worth watching

Protein at 22.8% of dry matter, gentle for a grain-free food
Carbohydrate estimated at 47.9% of dry matter, a little over the 46.2% typical
No second animal to fall back on if pork proves to be the problem

The score, in context

Millies Wolfheart Pork & Veg 59.6

All one Good. Typical dry food: Good.

Low protein and a carbohydrate estimate above the norm hold nutritional balance down; the reason most owners buy it, a meat their dog has never met, is something no analysis shows.
