Name: Rosie's Farm Single Meat Dry: Senior Turkey with Rice
Brand: Rosie's Farm

57.2/100Good

DryAdultSenior

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

The score, in context

Light Turkey 58.0
Senior Turkey 57.2
Adult Salmon 55.5
Adult Turkey 55.3
Adult Lamb 54.1

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.

What's in it

Turkey: dried, fresh28% (23% dried, 5% fresh)
Brown rice, white rice, green peas19% eachThree starch entries in the top four.
Dried beet pulp, vegetable stock
Turkey fat3%Cut back for an older dog.
Linseed, minerals, dried apples
Dried chicory0.5%Inulin and FOS for the gut bacteria.
Dried carrots, broccoli, spinach, tomatoes, cranberries, blueberriesGenuine whole foods, a garnish this far down.
Dried herbsListed as a group.
Glucosamine hydrochloride, chondroitin sulphate, methylsulphonylmethaneNo amounts, so the joint support cannot be checked.

Vitamins A, D3 and E, L-carnitine at 100mg, and sulphate trace minerals with selenium.

The joint trio carries no amounts, so how much is in the bag is not on the label.

Named ingredients

28% turkey (consisting of 23% dried turkey and 5% fresh turkey meat), 19% brown rice, 19% white rice, 19% green peas, beet pulp (dried), vegetable stock, 3% turkey fat, linseed, minerals, apples (dried), 0.5% dried chicory (as a natural source of FOS and inulin), carrots (dried), broccoli (dried), spinach (dried), tomatoes (dried), cranberries (dried), blueberries (dried), herbs (dried), glucosamine hydrochloride, chondroitin sulphate, methylsulphonylmethane.

Against the range

Fat, as fed: 9%, turkey fat at 3%; 12% on the adult recipes.
Joint entries: Glucosamine, chondroitin, MSM; Only on this recipe.

The adult turkey eased off for age, with joint entries added.

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.
