Sainsbury's Complete Nutrition Worker Dry review

Name: Sainsbury's Complete Nutrition Worker Dry
Brand: Sainsbury's

29.5/100Poor

DryAdult

A high-fat working kibble that lands in our Poor band, mostly for what the panel leaves unsaid. Fat converts to 12.0% of dry matter, the most generous in this line. The ingredient list is the shortest of the lot, with chicken named at 4% inside an unquantified animal block.

Where to buy: coming soon

Our view

Likely to suit

Working and hard-running dogs whose energy needs outrun a standard adult bag
Multi-dog homes that want one recipe for all of them
Hearty eaters with no food sensitivities to work around
Owners after a plain high-fat kibble with a short list on the back

Worth watching

No percentage on the animal block, only the 4% chicken inside it
Cereals unnamed, so the grain cannot be identified
Fat that suits a dog in work will put condition on one resting between seasons

The score, in context

Sainsbury's Complete Nutrition Worker Dry 29.5

All one Poor. Typical dry food: Good.

Disclosure holds this one down: the animal block between the chicken and the peas carries no figure, so the meat share cannot be read from the pack.
