Owners who want every meat entry from one species
Dogs tired of a protein, since only the animal changes
Dogs kept off grain
A dosed mineral panel

Worth watching

Salmon oil in every recipe
Unnamed poultry fat in the chicken and duck
Dried egg in all but the lamb

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

The gaps are small, so let your dog's protein preference decide it and ignore the ranking.

What's in it

Chicken protein, partly dried and hydrolysed33.5%The concentrate that carries protein through to the kibble.
Fresh chicken25%Mostly water before the oven.
Potato flakes, potato starchThe binders; no cereal.
Pumpkin4%
Poultry fat3.5%The bird is not named.
Dried beet pulp, dried eggegg 3%
Brewer's yeast, calcium carbonate, linseeds, lignocellulose
Salmon oil, sunflower oil
Sodium chloride, yeast extract, cranberries, beetroot, carrot pomaceyeast extract 0.2%MOS and beta-glucans from the yeast.
Camomile blossoms, rosemary, dandelion, parsley, camomile, nettle, ribwort and more0.05% blossomsA pinch. The meat concentrate makes the food, not this.

Zinc in two forms, 100 mg as a sulphate and 60 mg as a glycine chelate, with iron, manganese, copper, iodine, selenium and vitamins all dosed.

Dried egg and unnamed poultry fat stop this being chicken and nothing else.

Against the range

Protein, declared: 34%; 31% to 33% in the others
Carbohydrate, dry matter: 32.0%; Lowest of the four
Daily amount: Largest of the four; 185 to 190 grams on the others

The top scorer of the four, and the one to pick if chicken suits your dog.

Every recipe is built on one named animal, used as a dried and hydrolysed concentrate and as fresh meat. Potato does the binding, with peas helping in the lamb, and there is no cereal. Salmon oil runs through all four, and blossoms and herbs close every list at trace level.

Carbohydrate converts to between 32.0% and 34.8% of dry matter and protein to between 33.7% and 37.0%.
