47.2/100Average

DryAdultSenior

Trophy's light kibble for a dog whose waistline needs managing, in our Average band because so much of the bowl is cereal. The lightness is engineered the honest way, by cutting fat to 8%. Put it in front of the dog it was meant for and it does what the name promises.

The score, in context

Trophy Premium Lite 47.2

All one Average. Typical dry food: Good.

The gap is construction, maize first and a modest meat share, and much of it is the compromise a light kibble accepts on purpose.

What's in it

MaizeLeads, with no percentage beside it.
Ricemin. 25%
Chicken mealmin. 18%Chicken with the water removed, so its protein is concentrated, and the species is named.
Unmolassed beet pulpThe sugars washed out; well tolerated for firm stools.
Chicken fat
Freshly prepared chickenA supporting role, behind the fat.
Minerals
Salmon oilOmega 3. Fish in a chicken recipe.
MOS, glucosamine, green-lipped musselPrebiotic, then the joint pair, neither joint entry dosed.
Yucca schidigera, rosemary, blackcurrant, pomegranateYucca is the usual answer to stool odour.

Dosed in print, with some of the zinc in chelated form, the version usually chosen for better absorption.

Green-lipped mussel is a shellfish, worth knowing for a dog that reacts to one.

Named ingredients

Maize, Rice (min. 25%), Chicken Meal (min. 18%), Unmolassed Beet Pulp, Chicken Fat, Freshly Prepared Chicken, Minerals, Salmon Oil, Mannan Oligosaccharides, Glucosamine, Green-Lipped Mussel, Yucca Schidigera, Rosemary, Blackcurrant, Pomegranate.

Against the range

One light chicken and rice recipe. Maize leads without a percentage, rice follows at a minimum of 25% and chicken meal at a minimum of 18%. Fat is trimmed to 8%, so cereal fills the space and estimated carbohydrate reaches 60.8% of dry matter.
