Tails.com mixes every blend for the dog it is going to, so these five breed examples are a window onto what the mixer draws from. Three sit in our Average band, with the Lurcher and Rottweiler a step up in Good. Chicken is the named meat in all of them.

Our view

Likely to suit

Owners who want the portioning done for them. Each blend arrives measured to its dog
Joints that could use some help, with glucosamine and chondroitin on all five lists
Several dogs with different needs, each with a blend of its own
A dog that does well on chicken

Worth watching

Maize first in three of the five, plus two refined maize fractions
Meat and bone meal on three, naming no animal, so those blends cannot rule a meat in or out
No calcium figure on any example

Five recipes across Good and Average. Typical dry food: Good.

A narrow spread with shared reasons: named chicken and sensible extras, against heavy maize, unnamed meat and bone meal on three and no calcium figure anywhere.

Against the range

Meat: Chicken 34.2%; The meatiest; 26.2% to 30.6% elsewhere
Fat: 15.0%; The richest of the five
Carbohydrate, dry matter: 45.5%; The lowest; 54.4% on the Staffordshire
Meat and bone meal: None; In three of the others

Built for a big dog with a working appetite, and the strongest example of the five.

Chicken is the named meat in all five, between 26.2% and 34.2%, broken into meal, offal, fat and gravy, with a smaller poultry entry behind it. Maize runs through every list as whole maize, maize protein feed and maize protein. Brown rice, potatoes and beet pulp fill in, and joint entries appear on all five with no declared dose.

What varies: three blends add meat and bone meal beside beef meal, two put chicken ahead of maize, and two add egg and salmon oil. No blend declares calcium.
