Our view

Likely to suit

Working and sporting dogs that burn energy all day
Hard keepers that struggle to hold condition on an ordinary kibble
Large-breed puppies, with calcium at 1.09% of dry matter
Dogs that have never met pork. It appears dried and freshly prepared
Older dogs, with glucosamine and MSM at 177.5 mg/kg each

Worth watching

A full scoop will put weight on a dog whose day is mostly naps
Pork fat at 10% counted inside the 60% meat block
Fish, pork and beef together, so no use for narrowing down a sensitivity
Carbohydrate still estimated at 38.6% of dry matter

The score, in context

Millies Wolfheart Ultima Mix 66.1

All one Good. Typical dry food: Good.

The meat total and the fat level lift it; pork fat inside the meat block and one large potato entry hold it back.

Salmon, salmon gravy2% each
Potato23%The largest plant entry. No grain anywhere.
