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

Apple and carrot pomace, yeast cell walls, seaweed flour, cranberries0.2% down to 0.1%
Hop flowers, rosemary, dandelion, parsley, camomile, nettle, ribwort and more0.05% blossomsA pinch. The meat concentrate makes the food, not this.

The tidiest label of the four for an elimination plan, liver hydrolysate aside.

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%.
