Cold pressedAdult

Flavour

Two pressed recipes for dogs that earn their dinner, and they differ by more than the meat. The Turkey declares 41% turkey and leaves out grain, and it sits in our Excellent band. The Beef is the traditional build with barley and oats, one step down in Good.

Our view

Likely to suit

Working and sporting dogs that need energy that keeps well in a sack
Dogs steering around poultry: beef is the only meat named on the Beef
A grain-free routine, which the Turkey serves
Kennels and multi-dog homes, with a 12.5kg sack beside the 1.5kg bag
Joints that take a hammering, with glucosamine and chondroitin dosed on both

Worth watching

The Beef carries grain in barley and oats
Green lipped mussel in the Turkey, and glucosamine is usually made from shellfish
Both are portioned for dogs in work, so a quieter dog needs the amount trimmed

The score, in context

Turkey 70.0
Beef 65.4

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

The Turkey earns its higher band on how much of the sack is named animal; the analyses sit closer together than the lists suggest.

Named ingredients

Turkey Ingredients 41% (Dried Ground Turkey 30%, Turkey Fat 7%, Hydrolysed Turkey 4%), Tapioca 20%, Sweet Potato 17%, Pea Starch Flour 15%, Beet Pulp, Pea Fiber, Seaweed, Dry Kale, Green Lipped Mussel Powder, Glucosamine (400 mg/kg), Chondroitin (300 mg/kg), Amino Acids (DL Methionine), Carnitine, Yeasts and parts thereof (including Mannanoligosaccharides; Prebiotic MOS), Yucca Shidigera, Chicory Root Extract (as a source of Prebiotic Fructo-oligosaccharides and Inulin), Rosemary Extract, Natural Antioxidants (mix of Vitamin E and Rosemary Extracts).

Against the range

Meat: Turkey 41%, itemised; Beef protein meal at 25% on the Beef.
Grain: None; Barley and oats in the Beef.
Carbohydrate, dry matter: 47.9%; 43.9% on the Beef.
Energy: 344 kcal per 100g; The denser of the two.

The grain-free pick, and the one with more named animal in the sack.

Both recipes are cold pressed, compacted at a low temperature so the pellet holds together dry and falls apart wet. Both print glucosamine at 400 mg/kg and chondroitin at 300 mg/kg, share the prebiotic and vitamin panel, and are preserved with rosemary and vitamin E.

The builds differ more than a flavour swap. The Beef is beef protein meal with barley, pea and oats; the Turkey is grain free, with an itemised turkey share and tapioca, sweet potato and pea starch flour.
