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.

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

CerealsRice, maize, wheat or a mix; the pack never says.
Meat and animal derivatives
of which dehydrated chicken, in the pale disc4%The one named animal.
Derivatives of vegetable originNo source committed to.
Oils and fats
Minerals
Peas, in the green pieces4%Whole peas are a decent inclusion.

The same panel as the beef, every trace mineral dosed, with colours added for the pieces.

Moisture at 28.0% and protein at 33.5% do not sit easily with a cereal-led list.

Named ingredients

Cereals, meat and animal derivatives (4% chicken from dehydrated in pale disc), derivatives of vegetable origin, oils and fats, minerals, vegetables (4% peas in green piece).

Against the range

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

The easier pick for a household keeping a dog off red meat.

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.
