Millies Wolfheart Riverside Mix review

Name: Millies Wolfheart Riverside Mix
Brand: Millies Wolfheart

71.6/100Excellent

DryPuppyAdult

Duck and trout, a pairing most dogs will never have eaten, put to good use for a dog the everyday meats have worn out. Dried duck heads the list, so the protein survives the oven. The joint pack is printed with doses.

Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs that need a break from chicken and beef
Owners who want a dried meat leading the label, here duck at 32%
Grain-free feeding, with sweet potato at 17% and potato standing in
Active dogs after a richer bowl: fat declared at 16%, energy at 366 kcal per 100g
Older dogs feeling their hips. Glucosamine and MSM are at 177.5 mg/kg apiece, chondroitin sulphate at 125 mg/kg

Worth watching

Trout and salmon oil, so not fish free
Duck fat and duck stock as well as duck meat, leaving a duck-sensitive dog nowhere to hide
Calcium at 3.15% of dry matter is high for a large-breed puppy, though the label covers puppies

The score, in context

Millies Wolfheart Riverside Mix 71.6

All one Excellent. Typical dry food: Good.

A dried meat at the head of the list and an unusually light plant side are what lift it clear of the typical kibble.

What's in it

Dried duck32%The largest entry, and dried, so it is honest about what ends up in the kibble.
Freshly prepared trout22%Marine omega 3 for skin and coat.
Sweet potato, potato17%The binders. No grain anywhere.
Duck fat6%Keeps the fat on the same animal.
Pea fibreBulk without much nutrition.
Duck stock, salmon oil1.5%
Minerals, joint pack177.5, 177.5, 125 mg/kgMilligrams on the back you can actually check.
Mixed herbsSays nothing about what is in it.
Apple, carrot, cranberry, aniseed, fenugreek, seaweed, burdock, camomile, dandelion, peppermintSeasoning.

Zinc and iron at 48 mg, manganese at 34 mg, copper at 12 mg and iodine at 0.96 mg per kilo, all in standard sulphate and iodate forms.

Calcium at 3.15% of dry matter is on the high side for a large-breed puppy still building a skeleton.
