Millies Wolfheart Utility Mix review

Name: Millies Wolfheart Utility Mix
Brand: Millies Wolfheart

55.4/100Good

DryPuppyAdult

A fish-only kibble with no land meat anywhere on the list, which makes it a simple first move for a dog that has stopped getting on with meat. Herring and salmon oil bring plenty of omega 3. The joint pack is printed with real doses. Starch carries about as much of the bowl as the fish.

Where to buy: coming soon

Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs kept off land meats altogether
A dull coat: salmon oil is declared at 5% and herring is an oily fish
Large breed puppies, with calcium at a level a growing big dog can handle
Dogs that eat better from a leaner bowl, at 10.0% fat
Older dogs. Glucosamine and MSM come at 177.5 mg/kg apiece, chondroitin at 125 mg/kg

Worth watching

White fish and dried fish are categories, so no strict single-fish plan
No second animal to fall back on for a dog that reacts to fish
Carbohydrate at an estimated 46.7% of dry matter

The score, in context

All one Good. Typical dry food: Good.

Fish in three of the top seven places earns its score, and the starch is what keeps it from climbing further.
