25/100Poor

DryAdultSenior

Flavour

A plain cereal kibble in two flavours, sitting in our Poor band because the label names so little. Only 4% of the recipe is a named animal. It is gentle to portion, at an estimated 310 kcal per 100g, and every added vitamin and mineral carries a dose.

Our view

Likely to suit

An adult dog and an older one eating side by side from one bag
Homes feeding everything from a toy breed to a giant
Dogs that gain weight easily, as energy is on the low side for a dry food
Owners who want each added vitamin and trace mineral printed with its dose

Worth watching

A named animal at only 4%, so no help pinning down what a sensitive dog reacts to
Cereals is the only word for the grain, so the mix can move between batches
Carbohydrate at an estimated 55.5% of dry matter, against 46.2% for typical adult dry food

The score, in context

Beef 25.0
Chicken 25.0

All two Poor. Typical dry food: Good.

Nearly all the distance comes from what the label leaves unnamed, and nothing in it is harmful.

What's in it

CerealsThe label never says which, so the grain can follow whatever the mill has that month.
Meat and animal derivatives (including 4% Beef)23%Only the 4% beef is named; the rest is a broad legal category.
Oils and fatsNo source given.
Derivatives of vegetable originCarries much of the starch.
Vegetables (including dried peas)1.25% peasA garnish, not a meaningful share of the bowl.
Minerals

Vitamins A, D3 and E with zinc, iron, manganese, copper, iodine and selenium in plain oxide and sulphate forms, each dosed in print.

Named ingredients

Cereals, 23% Meat and Animal Derivatives (Including 4% Beef), Oils and Fats, Derivatives of Vegetable Origin, Vegetables (Including 1.25% Dried Peas), Minerals.

Against the range

Named meat: 4% beef; 4% chicken on the other bag.
Everything else: Same list and analysis; Word for word the same as the chicken.

The gentler introduction of the two for a dog whose history you do not know, as comparatively few dogs have run into beef as a problem.

Both flavours are built to one plan, word for word. Cereals open the list, then meat and animal derivatives at 23%, of which 4% is named as beef or chicken. Oils and fats and derivatives of vegetable origin follow as umbrella entries, with dried peas at 1.25%. The only thing that varies is the named meat.
