63.9/100Good

DryAdult

A chicken and rice kibble with more meat behind it than the shape suggests: 37% of the bag is dried chicken, which comes through the oven at close to its declared weight. The small print carries a fully dosed joint set, two prebiotics and a live gut culture. It comes out in our Good band.

Our view

Likely to suit

A dog with no particular complaint and a healthy appetite
Owners who want a big dried meat share
Dogs that take rice and oats happily
Middle-aged and older dogs: glucosamine and MSM at 180 mg/kg each, chondroitin at 125 mg/kg
An unsettled digestion, with both prebiotics dosed and a live Enterococcus faecium culture
Owners who like every dose printed, down to the methionine

Worth watching

Chicken is the only meat, so a dog known to react to it needs a different recipe
Salmon oil on the list, so it is not fish free
No moisture declared, so the dry matter figures assume 8%
Written for adults with no calcium figure, so not for a growing puppy

The score, in context

Vet's Kitchen Everyday Health 63.9

All one Good. Typical dry food: Good.

A generous dried meat share pulls protein up and carbohydrate down, a tidy result for a recipe with rice at the front of its starch.
