Our view

Likely to suit

An adult and a senior under one roof, as one bag covers both
A waistline to watch: fat at 7% and a gentler bowl than most kibbles
Dogs that need chicken and no other meat
Stiffening joints, with glucosamine and green-lipped mussel in the recipe
Homes with dogs from 2kg to 50kg, all on the same feeding guide

Worth watching

Wheat first and wheatfeed further down, a problem for a wheat-sensitive dog
Green-lipped mussel is a shellfish, so the recipe is not shellfish free
Carbohydrate estimated at 58.8% of dry matter, where 46.2% is typical for an adult dry food

The score, in context

Trophy Lifestyle Chicken, Rice & Veg 51.0

All one Good. Typical dry food: Good.

Wheat and maize ahead of the chicken hold the score down, and a calm analysis with a dosed mineral panel earns it back.

What's in it

WheatFirst on the list, and the cereal most often behind a grumbling gut in dogs that react to grain.
Chicken meal, freshly prepared chickenmin. 18%, min. 8%The meal carries most of the protein; the fresh chicken loses most of its water in the oven.
Maize
Rice, oatsmin. 7.5%The softer cereals.
Unmolassed beet pulp, wheatfeedPart of why crude fibre reaches 5.0%.
Peas, lucerne, potato, carrotmin. 10% total
Chicken fat
Yeast, mineralsThe yeast is there for its mannan oligosaccharides, a prebiotic.
Glucosamine, green-lipped musselJoint support with no printed dose. The mussel is a shellfish.
Yucca, rosemary, blackcurrant, pomegranateRosemary keeps the fats from turning; the fruit is a flourish.

Vitamins A, D3 and E with a full dosed mineral panel, including zinc as a chelate alongside the sulphate.

Wheat heads the list and wheatfeed appears again further down.

Named ingredients

Wheat, Chicken (min. 18% chicken meal and min. 8% freshly prepared chicken), Maize, Rice (min. 7.5%), Oats, Unmolassed Beet Pulp, Wheatfeed, Peas, Chicken Fat, Lucerne, Potato, Carrot (min. 10% total vegetables), Yeast (source of mannan oligosaccharides), Minerals, Glucosamine, Green-Lipped Mussel, Yucca Schidigera, Rosemary, Blackcurrant, Pomegranate.

Against the range

Wheat leads the list, with maize and wheatfeed behind it, and chicken is the only animal named, as meal and as fresh meat. Moisture is declared at 8%, so the dry-matter figures come from the label.
