The score, in context

Wonderdog Elite 53.6

All one Good. Typical dry food: Good.

Fish leads and almost everything carries a figure; one plant doing three jobs is what keeps it off a higher band.

What's in it

Salmon: freshly selected salmon, salmon meal, salmon gravy, salmon oil23% (15%, 5%, 2%, 1%)The meal survives the oven best. The fresh salmon loses most of its water.
Freshly prepared trout20%
Potato, potato starch18%, 11%Whole potato brings nutrients with its starch. The starch is a refined binder.
Beet pulp, pea starch
Potato protein6%Lifts the protein figure, and a plant protein does not stand in for fish on equal terms.
Sunflower oilThe added fat. Light on saturates, with vitamin E of its own.
Minerals, vitamins, brewers yeast, sodium chloride, potassium chlorideYeast for palatability and B vitamins.
Yucca schidigera extract, marigold meal105 mg/kg eachYucca is there for stool odour, marigold as a pigment source.
Rosemary extract, beta-carotene26 mg/kg (beta-carotene)

Every vitamin printed with a generous dose, zinc as both a sulphate and the more absorbable chelate, and L-Carnitine at 60 mg/kg.
