DryAdult

Flavour

A grain-inclusive range for medium breed adults, built on rice with a named meat share of 30% to 34%. All three recipes lead with dried meat, which is unusual and helpful, and print their mineral panels to the milligram. Each reaches our Good band.

Our view

Likely to suit

Adult medium breed dogs that get on with cereal
Owners who read the meat line closely. Dried and fresh figures are printed separately
Dogs on the steadier side of active, with fat at 8% to 10%
Gentle digestive help from FOS, chicory and yucca in every recipe
Chicken-free homes; none of the three uses it in the meat or the fat

Worth watching

Carbohydrate an estimated 53.2% to 58.7% of dry matter, with cereal doing the carrying
Salmon gravy and oil in the fish recipe, so pick the lamb or turkey for a dog kept off fish
No label says where its omega 3 supplement comes from

The score, in context

Lamb 54.4
Turkey 54.1
Fish 51.3

All three Good. Typical dry food: Good.

Construction holds all three in place, with nothing troubling behind it: an everyday rice-based food with the animal named and every extra printed with a figure.

What's in it

Dried white fish, freshly prepared white fish15%, 11%Dried leads, so more protein reaches the kibble. No species given for the white fish.
Salmon gravy, salmon oil2% eachCompletes the 30%, and gives this recipe the only marine omega 3 in the range.
White rice, brown rice23%, 20%
Barley15%
Linseed, peas, sunflower oilPeas and sunflower oil appear in no other recipe here.
Vegetable stock, minerals, vitamins
Alfalfa, seaweed, dandelionTrace minerals.
Omega 3 supplementSource not named.
FOS, chicory extract, yucca extract960 mg/kg, a fraction of a percent, 190 mg/kgFor the gut bacteria, and yucca for what happens in the garden afterwards.

Every trace mineral printed, zinc and iron at 48 mg and manganese at 34 mg per kilo, as everyday sulphates; vitamin E at 149mg is generous for the level.

Named ingredients

Against the range

Animal side: White fish with salmon gravy and oil; A single species in the lamb and turkey
Protein, dry matter: 21.7%; The gentlest; 22.8% and 25.0% in the others
Carbohydrate, dry matter: 58.7%; The highest; 53.2% in the lamb
Omega 3: Partly marine, from salmon oil; Plant and unnamed supplement only in the others

The one to choose for a dog that does well on fish, with the most cereal of the three.

All three are built on rice with barley or oats behind it, and every label names its meat and prints the dried and fresh figures separately, with the dried share leading. The finishing set is identical: linseed, alfalfa, seaweed, an unnamed omega 3 supplement, FOS at 960 mg/kg, chicory, yucca and dandelion.

What varies is the meat share, 34% in the lamb and 30% elsewhere, and calcium, from 1.41% to 2.5% of dry matter. Carbohydrate runs from 53.2% to 58.7% of dry matter. Only the fish recipe brings in peas, sunflower oil and a second species.
