WorkingHPRs Grain Free Large Breed: Salmon with Trout, Sweet Potato & Asparagus review

Name: WorkingHPRs Grain Free Large Breed: Salmon with Trout, Sweet Potato & Asparagus
Brand: WorkingHPRs

65.5/100Good

DryAdult

A grain free kibble written for big dogs that keeps pace with the typical adult dry food in our Good band. Salmon and trout make up 50% of the recipe, and glucosamine, methylsulfonylmethane and chondroitin all have their doses printed. Not many large breed bags go that far.

Our view

Likely to suit

Large breed adults: the kibble and the feeding chart are both written for a big frame
Big dogs that need help at the joints, with glucosamine and methylsulfonylmethane at 170 mg/kg each and chondroitin sulphate at 125 mg/kg
Dogs kept off cereal. The binding is sweet potato, peas and potato
Fish-fed dogs, since salmon and trout supply all of the animal content
Changeable digestion, with FOS at 96 mg/kg and MOS at 24 mg/kg on the bag

Worth watching

Fish is the whole animal share, so a dog kept off it has nothing here
An Omega 3 Supplement with no source named, one open entry for a strict exclusion diet
Protein at 26.1% of dry matter, gentler than 50% fish suggests, because a third of that fish goes in fresh and loses its water

The score, in context

Salmon 65.5

All one Good. Typical dry food: Good.

A label that prints its fish split and every dose earns its transparency mark; the modest protein after conversion is what holds the overall score where it is.
