68.9/100Good

DryAdult

A Good-band grain-free kibble that puts 55% chicken on the label and then shows the workings: 31% fresh, 21% dried, 3% stock. No second animal is named. For a dog that eats chicken happily, this is an easy bag to hand over.

Our view

Likely to suit

Chicken-loving dogs
Owners keeping other meats out of the bowl
No cereal: sweet potato at 26% does the starch, peas at 6% behind it
Active dogs, with fat at 14.0% and protein at 27.0% on the label
A settled gut. FOS and MOS are both printed with their doses

Worth watching

Chicken is the protein dogs most often become intolerant to
No source given for the omega-3 supplement, a loose end on a strict elimination plan
Vitamins and trace elements named without amounts, so those doses cannot be checked

The score, in context

Wonderdog Adult Grain Free Chicken 68.9

All one Good. Typical dry food: Good.

A big named meat share with its split printed, and carbohydrate under the category's typical, do the work here; what holds the label back is what it leaves off.

What's in it

Freshly prepared chicken31%Gives up most of its water in the oven.
Dried chicken21%The part that arrives in the kibble at full strength.
Chicken stock3%
Sweet potato26%The main starch, with no cereal.
Peas, potato, beet pulppeas 6%
LinseedPlant omega 3, which a dog converts slowly.
Omega-3 supplementDescribed by function only; the label never says which oil.
Minerals
Herbs (marjoram, basil, oregano, sage, thyme, parsley)0.3%Too small to change what the food does.
FOS, MOS96mg/kg and 24mg/kgPrebiotics, dosed honestly and modestly.

Vitamins A, D3 and E with iodine, selenium, copper, iron, manganese and zinc as ordinary oxides and sulphates, with no amounts printed.

No moisture figure on the label, so the dry matter readings use the standard 8% for a kibble.

Named ingredients

Chicken 55% (Freshly Prepared Chicken 31%, Dried Chicken 21%, Chicken Stock 3%), Sweet Potato 26%, Peas 6%, Potato, Beet Pulp, Linseed, Omega-3 Supplement, Minerals, Herbs 0.3% (Marjoram, Basil, Oregano, Sage, Thyme, Parsley), Fructooligosaccharides (FOS, 96mg/kg), Mannanoligosaccharides (MOS, 24mg/kg)

Against the range

Chicken is the only animal on the list, and its 55% share is broken into fresh, dried and stock. Sweet potato and peas carry the starch with no cereal anywhere. The label leaves off two things: a moisture figure and any amounts in the additive panel.
