DryAdult

Flavour

The grain-free half of the Wainwright's adult shelf, and the more generous half. All three recipes sit in our Good band, with the chicken the strongest at a 51.5% animal share. Every percentage that matters is printed, which is why transparency reads Outstanding across the range.

Our view

Likely to suit

Homes with cereal off the menu, as potato and sweet potato supply the starch
Joint support written into the recipe, with the glucosamine and chondroitin each given a percentage
A novel protein plan. Pork is one plenty of dogs have never met
Pinning down a sensitivity, with each recipe kept to one named species
Fish-free bowls: no fish or fish oil in any of the three

Worth watching

Potato protein fairly high on the pork list, doing work meat protein would do better
Moisture not declared on the pork or the chicken, so their dry matter figures assume 8%
Sweet potato at 40% in the beef, a large plant share for a dog you want holding muscle

The score, in context

Free Run Chicken 69.3
Grass Fed Beef 62.2
British Pork 59.2

All three Good. Typical dry food: Good.

The chicken pulls ahead on the strength of its meat share, while potato protein in the pork and a 40% sweet potato share in the beef hold those two back.

Against the range

Meat: 51.5% chicken; 36% pork, 40.5% beef.
Fat: 14.5%; 11% on the other two.
Carbohydrate, dry matter: 44.5%; 48.9% on the other two.

The richest of the three, for a dog that burns through its day.

Each recipe keeps to one named animal and splits it in print: 36% pork, 40.5% beef, 51.5% chicken, every one built from 26% freshly prepared meat plus a meal. The meal carries most of the protein into the kibble, since fresh meat loses its water in the oven. There is no cereal anywhere; potato and sweet potato do the binding, with sweet potato at 12.5%, 13% and 40%.

Every label prints glucosamine at 0.02% and chondroitin at 0.015%, chicory root extract at 0.1% and linseed at 0.5% as the omega 3 source. No fish or fish oil appears across the three.
