Wainwright's Adult Dry Food With Superfoods: Grass Fed Beef with Superfoods review
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

- 12.5% and 13% on the others.

- Not declared on the other two.
The only one of the three with a calcium figure to check.
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.
