Flavour

A steady, unfussy pair for a dog in the middle of an ordinary life, both in our Good band. Each is built on a single named meat meal, lamb or chicken, with no derivative or unnamed animal on either list. Rice does the bulk of the work.

Our view

Likely to suit

Adult and senior dogs under one roof
Dogs that do better without wheat
One named meat meal and no blend
Stiffening joints, with glucosamine and green-lipped mussel in both
Medium breed dogs on a settled routine

Worth watching

Chicken fat and salmon oil in both, so neither suits a poultry or fish elimination trial
Meal only, with no fresh meat declared
Carbohydrate at 54.3% to 54.8% of dry matter, above the 46.2% typical

The details

Dog fit

Listed for medium adults and seniors. The lamb label's chart asks 220 grams a day for a 15kg dog; let the waistline settle the rest.

The score, in context

Trophy Premium Maintenance 56.6
Chicken 52.9

All two Good. Typical dry food: Good.

Rice ahead of the meat holds both in place, while one plainly printed meat meal on each list keeps transparency high.

What's in it

Ricemin. 34%

No moisture on this label, so the dry matter figures assume 8% and the energy is our estimate.

Named ingredients

Rice (min. 34%), Chicken Meal (min. 26%), Maize, Chicken Fat, Unmolassed Beet Pulp (min. 3.5% vegetables), Seaweed, Minerals, Salmon Oil, Mannan Oligosaccharides, Glucosamine, Green-Lipped Mussel, Yucca Schidigera, Rosemary, Blackcurrant, Pomegranate.

Against the range

Meat: Chicken meal, min. 26%; Lamb meal, min. 30%
Protein, dry matter: 23.9%; 22.8%
Ash, dry matter: 7.1%; 9.8%

The lighter mineral load of the two, for a dog that already gets on with chicken.

Two rice-led kibbles on one list, with only the meat meal changed: lamb in one, chicken in the other. Rice opens both at min. 34%, maize sits third, and there is no wheat. Chicken fat and salmon oil are the added fats in both, so neither bag is free of poultry or fish. Beet pulp, seaweed, glucosamine and green-lipped mussel follow identically, the joint pair without a dose.
