23/100Poor

DryAdult

The plainest recipe in the shop's dry range: cereals, meat and animal derivatives with 4% beef, and no vegetables at all. It lands in our Poor band. Read it as an everyday kibble in a big sack, since the protein and fat it declares are ordinary.

Our view

Likely to suit

Kennels and multi-dog homes buying one recipe for several adults
Dogs that do well on plain food
Dogs that get on with beef, the one meat named
A large sack of complete kibble for a busy household

Worth watching

Working on the front, with protein at 21.0% and fat at 8.0% on the panel
No meat total, only the 4% beef inside it
Ash at 9.5%, which usually means plenty of bone in the meat

The score, in context

Pets at Home Complete Nutrition Working Dry 23.0

All one Poor. Typical dry food: Good.

The least forthcoming label of the group, and the score follows from how little it declares.

What's in it

CerealsFirst on the list. The grain can change without the label changing.
Meat and animal derivatives4% beefNo total for the entry, so the meat share of the bag is guesswork. Only the beef has a species.
Derivatives of vegetable originThe rest of the plant side. No vegetables or peas anywhere.
Oils and fatsSource not named.
Minerals

Fully dosed vitamins and trace minerals, from D3 at 1,500IU to selenium at 0.10mg; the antioxidants are declared by function only.

No moisture or calcium declared, so much of this page is estimated rather than read off the bag.

Named ingredients

Cereals, Meat and Animal Derivatives (including 4% Beef), Derivatives of Vegetable Origin, Oils and Fats, Minerals.

Against the range

Five entries, four of them categories, with only the 4% beef named. No meat total, no moisture and no calcium are printed, so the carbohydrate estimate of 53.9% of dry matter rests on an assumed 8% moisture.
