Flavour

Four grain free kibbles built on one blueprint, all in our Good band, with the duck and salmon at the front. The meal comes first on every list, and that dried meat is doing more of the carrying than the fresh meat behind it. The weight recipe swaps fat for starch to slim a dog down.

Where to buy: coming soon

Live retailer links are coming soon. Once we have them from UK retailers, where to buy and the best price will appear here.

Our view

Likely to suit

Owners who prefer peas and potatoes on the list to wheat or maize
Dogs that need to shed a little: the weight recipe runs fat right down and still opens with a named meat meal
Small and medium dogs, the sizes the duck, salmon and turkey are built around
Older dogs with tired joints. Glucosamine and green-lipped mussel are on all four labels
A concentrated dried meat at the head of the list

Worth watching

Salmon oil in every recipe, so no fish free bowl
Chicken fat in all four, the duck and salmon included
No calcium figure on the three recipes that name puppies, a gap for a large breed pup

The score, in context

Duck 66.8
Salmon 66.0
Turkey 63.9
Weight Control 52.4

All four Good. Typical dry food: Good.

One construction across the four, so the gaps are narrow: duck edges salmon, turkey follows, and the weight recipe trails on protein and processing.

The bag for a dog that needs to slim, and it pays for the low fat in starch.

Every recipe opens with a dried meat meal and has a fresh helping of meat further down. Duck declares 35% total duck, salmon and turkey 39% each. Peas, potatoes and sweet potato do the binding, with unmolassed beet pulp for fibre, and the vegetables headline counts those starchy peas and potatoes.

Chicken fat and salmon oil run through all four, so neither chicken nor fish can be avoided anywhere in the range. Glucosamine and green-lipped mussel are on every label without a dose. Only the duck and salmon print their trace minerals.
