Flavour

A four-recipe family that keeps cereal in the bowl on purpose, all in our Good band with the 4 Tastes Diet lowest. Each recipe takes its own route through the meats, from a four-way meat and fish blend to dehydrated Iberian pork. If cereal has never troubled your dog, there is an unusual amount of choice here.

Our view

Likely to suit

Homes with dogs of different ages; every recipe covers puppies, adults and seniors
Dogs that suit a rice-based bowl
Owners after a less common meat, in Iberian pork with wild boar
Fish-fed dogs, with the Ocean Diet built on dehydrated tuna
Stiffening older dogs. The 4 Tastes Diet doses glucosamine and chondroitin at 1000 mg/kg each

Worth watching

Corn second on the 4 Tastes Diet, ahead of the peas and rice
Chicken oil in all four, so chicken is in every one
Puppies are covered but no recipe declares calcium; ask the maker before a large-breed pup grows on it

The details

Dog fit

Every recipe is listed for puppies, adults and seniors of every size. For a large-breed puppy, get the calcium figure from the maker first, and expect a growing pup to eat a good deal more than an adult.

The score, in context

Country Diet 64.0
Wild Iberian Diet 62.6
Ocean Diet 61.1
4 Tastes Diet 50.0

All four Good. Typical dry food: Good.

Nothing dramatic separates the set; corn in second place and four animals folded into one percentage weigh most on the 4 Tastes Diet.

What's in it

Dehydrated Iberian pork meat20%Plenty of dogs have never eaten pork.
Wholegrain rice18%
Peas, ground rice
Fresh wild boar meat10%About as unusual a pairing as British shelves offer.
Chicken oil, minerals, lentils2% (lentils)
Hydrolysed Iberian pork liver
Dehydrated salmon, linseed, salmon oilFish and plant omega 3s.
Carob, apple pulp, brewers' yeast (MOS)
Fruit and vegetable blends, rosemary, chicory (FOS), yucca3000 mg/kg down to 500 mg/kg
Glucosamine and chondroitinNamed with no figure.

Vitamins A, D3 and E with iron, iodine, copper, manganese, zinc and selenium, preserved with tocopherols.

Dehydrated salmon and chicken oil sit behind the pork, so it is not a single-animal recipe.

Named ingredients

Dehydrated Iberian pork meat (20%), Wholegrain rice (18%), Peas, Ground rice, Fresh wild board meat (10%), Chicken oil, Minerals, Lentils (2%), Hydrolysed Iberian pork liver, Dehydrated salmon, Carob, Apple pulp, Linseed, Salmon oil, Brewers' yeast (MOS), Fruits: (Pear, Apple, Blueberries) 3000 mg/kg, Vegetables: (Carrots, Broccoli, Pumpkin, Spinach and Ginger) 3000 mg/kg, Rosemary (1200 mg/kg), Chicory (FOS) 500 mg/kg, Yucca schidigera, Glucosamine and Chondroitin.

Against the range

Meat: Iberian pork, wild boar, pork liver; Poultry, fish or a four-way mix on the others.
Protein, dry matter: 32.6%; The most in the family; 30.4% to 31.5% elsewhere.
Carbohydrate, dry matter: 36.9%; The least of the four.

A useful direction when the usual meats have gone stale or started causing trouble.

All four keep cereal in the bowl on purpose: wholegrain rice with ground rice behind it in three, corn second on the 4 Tastes Diet. Chicken oil is the fat in every recipe, the tuna and pork ones included. Each prints its trace minerals line by line, and each carries glucosamine and chondroitin, though only the 4 Tastes Diet gives them a dose.

Carbohydrate stays under the 46.2% typical of adult dry food across the range. What varies is the meat: a poultry blend, a tuna and white fish recipe, Iberian pork with wild boar, and a four-way mix under one figure.
