DryAdultSenior

Flavour

A grain-free range that answers a sensitive stomach by shortening the list. One animal leads each of the four bags, potato sits underneath, and all four land in our Good band. Beet pulp and a pair of prebiotics do the settling work.

Our view

Likely to suit

A dog whose digestion prefers no cereal at all
Owners chasing a settled gut: beet pulp, brewers yeast, MOS and FOS are all in the mix
A dog that has stopped thriving on chicken and rice, with duck, lamb and salmon alongside
Rotation feeders. The four share one construction
Older dogs, with glucosamine, MSM and chondroitin in every bag

Worth watching

Salmon oil in every recipe, so none is fish free
Lamb gravy in the duck recipe rules out a duck-only trial
Dried egg in all four, if egg is the ingredient you are avoiding

The details

Dog fit

Listed for adults of every size, with the salmon also listed for seniors. The label asks 195 to 295 grams for dogs of 15kg to 25kg, and the waistline settles anything in between.

The score, in context

Chicken 62.0
Lamb 60.7
Salmon 53.6
Duck 53.5

All four Good. Typical dry food: Good.

The gaps between the four are small, and a working starch share and an unquantified vitamin line are what hold the range at Good.

Against the range

Potato: min 32%; min 26% on the other three.
Animal content: All fish, dried egg aside; Land meat plus salmon oil elsewhere.
Life stage: Adult and senior; Adult only on the others.

The cleanest single-animal bag of the four, and the one listed for seniors.

Each bag names one animal first with a minimum share, and a bracket shows how it is built; on the chicken, lamb and duck the animal fat sits inside that figure. Potato binds every recipe and no cereal appears anywhere. Beet pulp, brewers yeast, MOS, FOS and nucleotides do the digestive work, and salmon oil with linseeds supplies the omegas.

Protein converts to 27.2% of dry matter across the range, with estimated carbohydrate between 41.8% and 45.6%. Vitamins and minerals are two bare line items with no amounts. Glucosamine, MSM and chondroitin are in every bag.
