50.9/100Good

DryAdult

Skinner's modern recipe, in our Good band, and it reads nothing like the working line beside it. A dried poultry meal declared as at least 95% chicken leads a grain-free list, and the long tail of joint and antioxidant extras comes with doses. Protein and fat sit at an everyday balance for a dog with a normal week of walks.

Our view

Likely to suit

The dog who gets a proper walk, a run about and then a very long snooze
Homes that leave grain out. Sweet potato and potato carry all the starch
Dogs kept away from fish, with linseed and marine algae for omega 3 and no fish oil
Ageing joints: glucosamine at 350mg/kg and chondroitin sulphate at 200mg/kg, both printed
Owners who like vegetables named and measured

Worth watching

A small unnamed share in the meat meal, so no use for an elimination trial
Poultry fat with the same open label, covering any domestic bird
Dried egg on the list

The score, in context

Skinners Get Out & Go Dry Everyday Energy 50.9

All one Good. Typical dry food: Good.

Two things keep it from climbing: poultry naming that stops just short of full disclosure, and carbohydrate close to the category norm.

What's in it

Poultry meat meal (min. 95% chicken)29.5%Weighed dry, so it counts for more than a fresh meat entry of the same size. The rest is unnamed poultry.
Sweet potato chips22%The main starch, with no cereal anywhere.
Potato flake, peasMore starch: grain-free here does not mean low carbohydrate.
Poultry fatAny domestic bird.
Whole linseed, marine algae mealPlant omega 3 from the linseed; the algae brings some marine forms straight in.
Beet pulpModerately fermentable fibre that keeps stools together.
Brewer's yeast, dried eggYeast for B vitamins. Egg is the one to note for a sensitive dog.
Carrots, parsnips, apple, kale, broccoli, spinach1.2% down to 0.5%
Glucosamine, chondroitin sulphate, carnitine350mg/kg down to 200mg/kgJoints, and carnitine for turning fat into energy.
Blueberries, yucca, cranberries, fennel, turmeric200mg/kg down to 100mg/kgYucca is the traditional answer to a strong-smelling stool.

Each trace mineral comes twice, once as a standard salt and once as a chelate, with organic selenium, taurine at 250mg per kilo and a generous vitamin E.
