Meat

Turkey, 36%

33% lamb, 35% salmon.

Protein, declared

26%

25.5% on the lamb, 25% on the salmon.

Protein, dry matter

28.3%

27.7% and 27.2% on the others.

Edges its siblings on our scoring, though all three share a band.

Each recipe keeps its animal content to one named species at 33 to 36%, mostly dried, with a 5% freshly prepared share as a garnish. Rice at 26% sits behind the meat in all three, then whole grain barley at 13 to 19% and whole ground oats at 4.5%.

Beet pulp, linseed at 2%, dried peas and dried carrots follow, each declared with its fresh equivalent, and seaweed and yucca close every list. Only the lamb adds maize protein.

A dog this range is aimed at eats less than the 15kg estimate assumes.

A mid-market dry food, a little dearer than the analysis alone would justify.
