Flavour

The brand's rice recipe with the cereal taken out and the meat pushed up, in chicken or turkey. Half of each bag is one named bird, printed in its parts. The chicken sits in our Good band and the turkey a step above in Excellent.

Our view

Likely to suit

A dog kept off cereal
Owners who want a big named meat share: 50% of one bird
A change of bird, chicken in one bag and turkey in the other
Older dogs, with glucosamine, chondroitin and MSM on the list
Owners who like the meal, fresh and digest shares printed separately

Worth watching

Poultry fat with no bird named, so neither bag can anchor a strict chicken-free trial
No cereal does not mean low starch: potato is second at 26%
Chicken or turkey digest, worth counting on an exclusion diet

The score, in context

Turkey 70.5
Chicken 66.9

Two recipes across Excellent and Good. Typical dry food: Good.

The two read the same pillar by pillar, and the turkey edges a band higher on value.

Named ingredients

Turkey 50%, (Turkey Meat Meal 29.6%, Fresh Turkey 18%, Turkey Digest 2.4%), Potato 26%, Poultry Fat 4%, Dried Sugar Beet, Pea Starch (3%), Dried Peas (3%), Whole Linseed (2%), Dried Carrot (2%), Dried Tomato Pomace (0.5%), Seaweed Meal, Brewer's Yeast, Fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) (0.1%), Mannan-oligosaccharides (MOS) (0.1%), Glucosamine, Methylsufonylmethane, Chondroitin, Rosemary Extract, Extract of Yucca Schidigera (0.02%)

Against the range

Meat: Turkey 50%, 29.6% as meal; Chicken 50%, 28% as meal.
Poultry fat: 4%; 5.5% in the chicken.
Value: Excellent; Good on the chicken.

The stronger of the two on our scoring, and a useful change for a dog that has eaten chicken all its life.

Both bags declare their bird at 50%, split into meal, fresh meat and digest, with potato at 26% as the main starch and pea starch and dried peas at 3% each behind it. Poultry fat, whole linseed, a prebiotic pair and glucosamine, chondroitin and MSM follow.

The analysis panel is identical on both, and moisture is not printed. What varies is the meal share and the poultry fat level.
