⭐ 3.7 / 5

Like a servo meat pie—tasty, decent value, and gets the job done, but you’re not quite sure what’s under the lid. Great for joints and everyday fuel, just a bit too much starch and not enough straight talk for a top score.

The Quick Bite

This chicken-based kibble does a fair bit right—30% protein, joint-loving extras like glucosamine and turmeric, and a well-rounded fat blend to keep coats glossy and energy steady. It’s got the bones of a great adult formula, especially for dogs needing mobility support. But there’s a few bumps in the road—tapioca’s sitting second on the list, peas and chickpeas pad out the protein, and vague ingredients like “poultry oil” and “natural flavouring” muddy the waters. Good value for dogs that need support without breaking the bank, but if transparency’s your thing, this one’s not the gold standard.

What It Gets Right

✔️ Strong protein (30%) from named chicken meal
✔️ Functional extras like glucosamine, chondroitin, turmeric, and fish oil
✔️ Balanced fat mix with fish oil, flaxseed, and poultry oil
✔️ Omega-3s present for coat and inflammation support
✔️ Calorically balanced at 361 kcal/100g

Where It Falls Short

❌ Plant proteins (peas and chickpeas) in top ingredients slightly dilute meat protein quality
❌ Tapioca as the #2 ingredient—high-carb, low nutrient filler
❌ Some vague ingredients like “poultry oil” and “natural flavouring” reduce transparency
