Flavour

Two very different recipes in the same small kibble, both in our Good band. The rabbit is lean and built on one uncommon meat. The salmon is the rich one, fishier and fattier, with a bigger energy load behind it.

Our view

Likely to suit

Small breed adults and seniors, with kibble and portions a little mouth can manage
Dogs that flare on the everyday meats: the rabbit recipe takes every meat entry from rabbit
A small dog carrying extra weight, with the rabbit at 9.5% fat
Older small dogs needing early joint help, with glucosamine at 900 mg/kg on the rabbit label
Committed fish eaters, on the salmon recipe

Worth watching

Pork fat and salmon oil in the rabbit recipe, so it is single meat but not single animal
Chicken oil at 9.5% in the salmon recipe
No calcium declared, and both are written for adults and seniors only

The details

Dog fit

Listed for small adults and seniors. The rabbit label asks 190 grams a day for a 10kg dog and the salmon 137 grams for a quiet one, so weigh the first fortnight.

Chicken oil at 9.5% matters for a dog you are keeping off chicken.

Against the range

Fat: 16.5%; 9.5% on the rabbit
Energy: 388 kcal per 100g; 343.5 kcal per 100g
Carbohydrate, dry matter: 40.2%; 47.4%
Fat source: Chicken oil; Pork fat, salmon and sunflower oils

The more useful build for a busy little dog that eats fish happily.

Both recipes open with a dehydrated meat, the right way round for a kibble, with a fresh share of the same animal behind it at 10%. Both dose taurine, glucosamine and chondroitin, carry prebiotics and add yucca for stool odour. What varies is nearly everything else: the rabbit is lean with a long run of fruit and vegetables, while the salmon is richer, fattier and draws most of its fat from chicken oil. Neither label declares calcium.
