A grain-free working-dog line that keeps the recipe and changes the animal, and every label shows how its meat splits into fresh, dried and stock. The salmon, haddock and white fish recipe for puppies reaches our Excellent band. The four adult recipes sit in our Good band.

Our view

Likely to suit

Rotation feeders, with five labels on one construction
Dogs kept off cereal entirely
A single named land animal, which the duck and the lamb each keep to
Unsettled digestion: FOS and MOS are dosed, not just named
Growing dogs, on the puppy recipe with glucosamine and methylsulfonylmethane at 170 mg/kg
Working and sporting dogs that need a meat-forward bowl

Worth watching

The venison recipe is half salmon, so neither fish free nor venison only
An Omega 3 Supplement with no named source on every label, one open entry on a strict elimination plan
The salmon, haddock and white fish recipe is written for puppies, so its guide is a growth chart

Against the range

Life stage: Puppy; Adult on the other four.
Fish: 60%, three species; 50% headline on the others.
Protein, dry matter: 30.4%; Highest; 27.2% to 28.3% elsewhere.
Carbohydrate, dry matter: 42.0%; Lowest in the line.

The strongest recipe here, and the one for a growing frame.

One grain-free recipe with the animal changed: four adult labels open on a named meat at 50%, and the puppy recipe on fish at 60%. Each prints how the meat splits between freshly prepared, dried and stock, and the dried figure is the one that reaches the bowl.

Sweet potato leads the plant side everywhere, from 20% to 27%, with peas, potato and beet pulp behind. FOS and MOS are dosed on every bag, linseed adds plant omega 3, and an Omega 3 Supplement with no named source sits on all five.
