Flavour

One chicken recipe at two strengths, and the choice comes down to how hard your dog works. Extra Energy sits in our Outstanding band and Everyday Energy a step behind in Excellent. Both are meat-led cartons with a label that counts to fractions of a percent.

Our view

Likely to suit

Working and sporting dogs in season, with Extra Energy at 136 kcal per 100g
Lighter duty or the off season, where Everyday Energy at 120 kcal per 100g fits
Dogs that need chicken and nothing else on the meat line
Older dogs who could use a little help, as both recipes carry glucosamine and chondroitin
Changeable digestion, with prebiotics from yeast and chicory in both cartons

Worth watching

No source or percentage for the glucosamine and chondroitin, so a dog avoiding shellfish has nothing to check
Extra Energy leaves carrot, apple, linseed oil, seaweed and alfalfa unquantified
Extra Energy at 10.0% fat is rich for a dog whose big outing is the park

The score, in context

Extra Energy 81.5
Everyday Energy 78.0

Two recipes across Outstanding and Excellent. Typical wet food: Excellent.

A meat-led front with nothing unnamed behind it earns both placements, and the extras read as thought, not decoration.

Fat, as fed: 10.0%; 8.0% on Everyday Energy.

The richer carton, for a dog in the thick of a working season.

Chicken is the only animal named on either carton, at 74% or 80%, with no unnamed meat, no cereal and no derivatives behind it. The plant side is deliberately light: carrot, green beans, spinach, apple and blueberry, none of it there for bulk. Linseed oil is the named fat.

Both lists carry yeast products for nucleotides and MOS, chicory root extract for FOS, and glucosamine and chondroitin without a percentage. The added panel is identical and fully dosed. What changes between the two is the meat share, the fat and how much of the plant side is quantified.
