48.7/100Average

DryAdult

Flavour

A small-breed range for pale-coated dogs with two recipes that are not interchangeable, both in our Average band. The white fish puts a counted, named fish first and leaves grain out. The lamb is built the older way, with three entries ahead of the meat.

Our view

Likely to suit

Small and mini adults with pale coats, the dog the range is named for
Seeing the meat counted, 41% in the white fish
Small dogs kept off cereal, with the white fish recipe
Fussy little eaters. The lamb recipe adds hydrolysed chicken liver and dried egg

Worth watching

Salmon oil in both, so neither is fish free
Rice, poultry fat and barley ahead of the lamb
Unnamed poultry fat on both labels, no anchor for a strict elimination trial

The score, in context

With White Fish 48.7
With Lamb 41.4

All two Average. Typical dry food: Good.

Both land in the same band by very different routes: the fish on a named, counted meat share, the lamb held lower by how little animal sits behind it.

Against the range

Meat: White fish 41%; Lamb sits fourth, unquantified.
Protein, dry matter: 26.4%; Lamb 22.8%.
Fibre, dry matter: 4.4%; Lamb 1.6%.
Grain: None; Rice and barley in the lamb.

The stronger recipe of the two, with more animal behind it.

Two quite different recipes share the name. The white fish is grain free and leads with 41% dried white fish; the lamb opens with rice, poultry fat and barley and puts the lamb fourth with no figure. Both carry the pale-coat touches: marigold for lutein, green tea and linseed.

Salmon oil, poultry fat with no bird named, sugar beet pulp, FOS and clinoptilolite at 1% appear on both labels. Calcium sits at comfortable adult levels in each, 0.87% of dry matter in the lamb and 1.32% in the white fish.
