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

Duck protein, partly dried and hydrolysed31%
Fresh duck meat25%
Potato flakes, potato starch
Poultry fat6%The largest single fat entry in the range, bird unnamed.
Dried egg, apple pomace3.5% each
Dried peas, dried beet pulp, brewer's yeast, lignocellulose
Salmon oil, sunflower oil
Sodium chloride, yeast cell walls, cranberries, beetroot, carrot pomaceyeast cell walls 0.2%
Lavender flowers, 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.

Unnamed poultry fat loosens the single-animal idea for a strict elimination plan.

Against the range

Fat, declared: 18%; 17% in the others
Poultry fat: 6%; 3.5% in the chicken; none in the lamb or salmon
Linseed: None; In the other three

The richest of the set, and a hard working dog will make short work of it.

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%.
