Terra Canis Canireo Dry: Game review

1. Chicken 63.2
2. Beef 42.3
3. Game 39.3

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

The chicken reads strongest on paper and the beef and game sit a step behind on protein and processing, so choose on the animal your dog does best on.

Meat

Venison and roe deer

Beef or chicken on the other two.

Ash, dry matter

8.7%

Top of the range; the chicken is 5.5%.

Eggshell powder

Carbohydrate, dry matter

42.6%

The lowest; the chicken is 44.2%.

If your dog has already reacted to the everyday animals, this is where to land.

Every recipe opens on fresh muscle meat at 64.0% from one named species, with a little fresh liver from the same animal. Potato flakes, coconut flour and sweet lupine bind the kibble, and no cereal and no fish appears anywhere in the range.

Nearly every vegetable, fruit and herb carries its own percentage. Eggshell powder supplies the calcium. In dry matter, protein runs from 30.1% to 32.7% and carbohydrate from 42.6% to 44.2%. The additive panel is short on all three, with no manganese or selenium dose.
