Wolf Of Wilderness Dry Adult Duo Protein: Ruby Midnight (Beef & Rabbit) review

Name: Wolf Of Wilderness Dry Adult Duo Protein: Ruby Midnight (Beef & Rabbit)
Brand: Wolf Of Wilderness

67.5/100Good

DryAdult

Flavour

Two animals go on the front of every bag, and fresh pork sits underneath them both. That makes this a grain free, generously fatty range built around a meat plenty of dogs have never met. All five sit in our Good band, level with the middle of adult dry food.

Where to buy: coming soon

Live retailer links are coming soon. Once we have them from UK retailers, where to buy and the best price will appear here.

Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs new to pork, the base of every recipe
Rotation feeders: five pairings on one construction
Dogs kept off grain
Hard-working adults, with fat declared from 14.0% to 16.5%
Owners chasing unusual animals, from goat and buffalo to rabbit, trout and tuna

Worth watching

Pork leads every recipe, so the pair on the front are guests
Beef fat in all five, so none can clear a dog of beef
Hydrolysed poultry protein in four of the five, with no bird named
Salmon oil at 1% throughout, so there is no fish-free version

The details

Dog fit

Listed for adults. The fat runs generous for a maintenance food, so a quieter dog will want a smaller scoop than the table suggests.

The gaps between the five are small enough to ignore, so choose on the pairing itself.

The only recipe in the range with no poultry entry anywhere on the list.

The pick for an owner steering a dog off birds, and the range's top scorer.

The name says duo and the label says trio. Fresh pork at 26% opens all five, with peas and potato flakes behind it and beef fat as the added fat. The pair from the front of the bag arrive at 4% each, or 5% for the salmon.

Salmon oil at 1% and the same berries, herbs and prebiotics finish every recipe. Fat runs from 14.0% to 16.5% as fed. No moisture is declared, so the dry-matter figures assume 8%.
