Rosie's Farm Single Meat Dry: Adult Lamb with Rice review

Name: Rosie's Farm Single Meat Dry: Adult Lamb with Rice
Brand: Rosie's Farm

54.1/100Good

DryAdult

Flavour

One named animal per recipe, with the dried and fresh shares printed separately, which few labels on this part of the shelf bother to do. Rice and peas share the starch work in near equal measure. Adult, light and senior run on one construction, and all five sit in our Good band.

Our view

Likely to suit

Owners after the meat split in black and white
Dogs that suit rice; brown and white rice carry the starch with green peas
A dog that needs to lose a little, on the Light turkey with its much lower fat
Older dogs. The Senior adds glucosamine, chondroitin and methylsulphonylmethane to the same base
One dog fed across the years on a shared construction and kibble

Worth watching

Chicken fat in the salmon recipe, the one variety with a second animal
Carbohydrate at 46.8% to 50.1% of dry matter, with protein gentle at 25.5% to 30.4%
Herbs listed as a group on most labels

All five Good. Typical dry food: Good.

A solidly ordinary range, credited for naming its animal and printing the split, and held mid-table by rice and peas taking three of the top four places.

Named ingredients

Lamb (29%, consisting of 24% dried lamb and 5% fresh lamb), brown rice (18%), white rice (18%), green peas (18%), lamb fat (7%), vegetable stock, beet pulp [dried], apples [dried], minerals, linseed, dried chicory [as a natural source of FOS and inulin] (0.5%), carrots [dried], broccoli [dried], spinach [dried], tomatoes [dried], cranberries [dried], blueberries [dried], herbs [dried].

Against the range

Meat: 29% lamb; The only red meat; the others are turkey or salmon.
Protein, as fed: 23.5%; The gentlest; up to 28% on the Light.
Fat: Lamb fat at 7%; Chicken fat on the salmon, none on the Light.

The red meat choice, consistent from the meat to the fat.

Every recipe opens with one named animal and splits it into dried and fresh, the dried share much the larger. Brown rice, white rice and green peas follow at matching percentages, then beet pulp, linseed, dried chicory and a tail of dried fruit and vegetables.

What varies is the fat: lamb, turkey and senior use the recipe's own animal, the salmon uses chicken fat, and the light adds none. Minerals go in as sulphates, and no label declares moisture or calcium.
