Millies Wolfheart Ranger Mix review

Name: Millies Wolfheart Ranger Mix
Brand: Millies Wolfheart

70.8/100Excellent

DryPuppyAdult

A turkey-led, grain-free kibble that brings lamb and beef tripe in behind the headline bird, and it lands in our Excellent band. Dried turkey at 20% opens the list, so the protein survives into the finished kibble. The joint pack and every trace mineral are printed with doses.

Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs that get on with turkey, dried and fresh at the top of the label
A mixed meat bowl, with lamb and tripe working behind the turkey
Grain-free households: sweet potato, tapioca and chickpeas do the starch work
Older dogs starting to stiffen, with glucosamine, MSM and chondroitin all dosed
Fussy eaters. Tripe and turkey gravy give it a good deal more smell than most

Worth watching

Turkey, lamb and beef together, so it will not pin down a meat sensitivity
Calcium at 2.5% of dry matter is high for a large breed puppy
Mixed herbs, with the plants never named

The score, in context

Millies Wolfheart Ranger Mix 70.8

All one Excellent. Typical dry food: Good.

The reasons are unglamorous: meat in the first, third and sixth places, carbohydrate well under the norm, and figures where other labels put adjectives.
