29.3/100Poor

DryAdult

The shop's house recipe for the bigger dog, sold in a sack that suits one. It finishes in our Poor band, because so much of the list is categories and never named. The analysis underneath is a perfectly ordinary adult profile.

Our view

Likely to suit

Large adult dogs, the one size this bag is written for
Dogs that get on with chicken
Food and bedding on the same trip, in a sack that lasts
Steady, moderately active adults, at 328 kcal per 100 grams

Worth watching

Cereals with no grain named, so no wheat or maize exclusion
Only 4% of the 25% meat is tied to chicken
Carbohydrate at 53.8% of dry matter against the 46.2% typical

The score, in context

Pets at Home Complete Nutrition Large Breed Dry 29.3

All one Poor. Typical dry food: Good.

The band measures what the label declines to say more than any harm in the bowl; the analysis is an ordinary adult profile.

What's in it

CerealsGrain outweighs everything else, and which grain is left open.
Meat and animal derivatives25%The legal catch-all for parts that do not sell as cuts.
of which chicken4%The only animal named.
Derivatives of vegetable origin
Oils and fats
Dried peas1.3%Equivalent to 4% peas, and honest about being small.
Minerals

A fully dosed panel with methionine at 1,500mg, in the plain forms: zinc oxide and sodium selenite, not chelates.

Calcium at 2.5% of dry matter is on the firm side, and this is not the profile for a large breed puppy.

Named ingredients

Cereals, Meat and Animal Derivatives (25% including 4% Chicken), Derivatives of Vegetable Origin, Oils and Fats, Vegetables (1.3% Dried Peas, equivalent to 4% Peas), Minerals.

Against the range

One recipe, six entries, four of them categories: cereals, meat and animal derivatives at 25% with 4% chicken, vegetable derivatives and oils and fats. Dried peas are the only named vegetable.
