DryAdult

Flavour

A two-flavour everyday kibble of coloured pieces; the chicken sits in our Average band and the beef a step under in Poor. Cereals lead, and only 4% of the meat and 4% peas are named. The verdict rests on how little the pack names, not on anything wrong in the bowl.

Anything from a small dog up to 40kg, where the feeding table finishes

Worth watching

Category terms throughout, so the recipe can change between production runs
Colours added for the person pouring, doing nothing for the dog

The score, in context

Chicken 32.7
Beef 28.1

Two recipes across Average and Poor. Typical dry food: Good.

Both readings come from how little the pack names, with a declared analysis that sits oddly against a cereal-led list.

What's in it

CerealsNo grain named, so it can change between runs.
Meat and animal derivativesA legal phrase wide enough for first-rate or very ordinary material.
of which beef, in the red disc4%
Oils and fatsNo source given.
Derivatives of vegetable origin
Minerals
Peas, in the green pieces4%The one named plant: fibre, vitamins, some protein.

Vitamins A, D3 and E and six trace minerals as sulphates, iodate and selenite, every one dosed in print; colours and antioxidants as well.

Moisture is declared at 28.0%, far above a normal kibble, so treat the dry-matter column as a rough guide.

Named ingredients

Cereals, meat and animal derivatives (4% beef in red disc), oils and fats, derivatives of vegetable origin, minerals, vegetables (4% pea in green piece).

Against the range

Named meat: 4% beef; 4% dehydrated chicken
List order: Oils and fats before vegetable derivatives; Reversed on the chicken

The version to pick for a dog that has gone off poultry.

Both bags run to one short list. Cereals come first and meat and animal derivatives second, with 4% of the meat named, then oils and fats, derivatives of vegetable origin, minerals and 4% peas in the green pieces. Apart from those two 4% entries, every line is a category term, and colours sit on the additive list for the red, green and pale pieces.

The analysis and the dosed mineral panel are identical. What varies is the named meat and the order of two lines.
