29.3/100Poor

DryAdult

The Pets at Home house recipe, bagged for small adult dogs, and in our Poor band almost entirely because it describes its ingredients by category. Chicken is the one named meat, at 4% inside a 25% meat and animal derivatives entry. Underneath, the vitamin and mineral panel is dosed in full.

Our view

Likely to suit

Small breed adults, the dogs this bag is written for
A 2kg bag that gets eaten while it is fresh
Dogs with no quarrel with chicken
Picking food up on the same trip as everything else

Worth watching

Cereals first with no grain named, so no strict exclusion diet from this bag
Only 4% of the meat entry is identified
Calcium at 2.5% of dry matter: fine for a grown small dog, not for raising a puppy

The score, in context

Pets at Home Complete Nutrition Small Breed Dry 29.3

All one Poor. Typical dry food: Good.

The low score is about how little the label names, and the kibble underneath is a normal complete food.

What's in it

CerealsThe largest part of the bag, and no grain named, so wheat, maize and rice are all possible.
Meat and animal derivatives (including chicken)25%, 4% chickenThe unnamed rest can be any part of a slaughtered land animal.
Derivatives of vegetable originThe same umbrella over the plant side.
Oils and fatsFat source unknown.
Vegetables (dried peas)1.3%Equivalent to 4% peas. A nod in the right direction.
Minerals

Every addition carries a dose, methionine and vitamins A, D3 and E among them, though the minerals come in plain forms such as zinc oxide and sodium selenite.

Calcium reads 2.5% of dry matter, too high to raise a puppy on.

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.
