Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs that eat better on red meat, or have had enough of chicken
Owners who want the meat share checkable on the label
Older joints, with glucosamine, MSM and chondroitin all dosed
Three ages from one bag, puppy to senior
A lighter starch load

Worth watching

Four animals, so no use for an exclusion trial
Dehydrated pork at 23%, worth a thought for a dog with a urinary history
Rich at 395 kcal per 100g, so level the scoop for a sofa-fond dog

The score, in context

Wolfworthy 80/20 Countryside 78.4

All one Excellent. Typical dry food: Good.

A large, fully named meat share and a low starch figure put it clear of the middle of the adult dry shelf.
