60.4/100Good

DryAdult

Written for grown dogs with a lot of frame to look after, and the label puts its effort there. Glucosamine, chondroitin sulphate and MSM are each printed at 1500 mg/kg, with L-carnitine at 1200 mg/kg. Rice sits second on the list, so the plant side takes a real share. It sits in our Good band.

Our view

Likely to suit

Large adults whose hips and elbows work hardest
Keeping a heavy dog trim, with L-carnitine printed
A genuinely big dog: the label's table runs to 70kg
Dogs that do well on rice and maize
MOS and FOS at 1000 mg/kg each for the gut

Worth watching

Rice ahead of the chicken meal, so more plant than the first ingredient implies
Chicken as fresh meat, meal, fat and digest, wrong for a chicken-reactive dog
Salmon oil at 2%, so fish is in the bag

The details

Dog fit

Listed for large-breed adults. The label asks 320 to 365 grams for a dog of 25kg to 30kg, so work from its table, not the 15kg comparison figure.

The score, in context

More Large Breed Adult 60.4

All one Good. Typical dry food: Good.

The joint dosing and printed prebiotics carry it; rice ahead of the chicken meal is what holds protein and processing back.

Minerals are declared as whole compounds, so the zinc and iron sulphate figures look large beside labels that print the element alone.
