WorkingHPRs Adult: Duck & Potato (No Added Grain) review

Name: WorkingHPRs Adult: Duck & Potato (No Added Grain)
Brand: WorkingHPRs

62.3/100Good

DryAdult

Flavour

A three-recipe line for dogs out in all weathers, with a named animal at the top of every label and potato underneath. Every bag prints how much of its meat arrives fresh and how much dried, which few bags at this end of the shelf bother to do. All three sit in our Good band.

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

Working, walking and never-still dogs that need a bowl to carry a full day
Owners who want one named animal, which the duck and the salmon both give
Dogs kept off cereal, on the duck or the fish recipe
Fish eaters, with salmon and trout leading two recipes
Multi-dog homes, as all three share the same simple construction

Worth watching

Oats and 13% maize in the Salmon & Potato, the one recipe with cereal
An unnamed blended fish meal in the fish recipe, so it cannot anchor a one-fish plan
Itch-Eeze at 0.3% on the fish label, with no word on what is in it

The score, in context

Fish 64.9
Duck 62.3
Salmon 54.3

All three Good. Typical dry food: Good.

The fish reads strongest on our scoring, then the duck, then the salmon, but all three share a band, so your dog's palate gets the casting vote.

Against the range

Animals: Duck only; Several fish on one, salmon on the other.
Calcium, dry matter: 2.07%; Highest of the three; the salmon is 1.63%.
Biotin: 145 mcg; Dosed on the fish too, not on the salmon.
Protein, dry matter: 28.3%; Highest; the salmon is 23.9%.

The tidiest label of the three, and the one for a dog kept to a single bird.

Every label puts a named animal first and prints how much of it arrives fresh, dried, as fat or as gravy. Potato does most of the carrying underneath, from 24% to 36%, with beet pulp for fibre.

The duck and the fish recipes leave cereal out; the salmon adds oats and maize. Calcium runs from 1.63% to 2.07% of dry matter, comfortable adult levels throughout.
