" Expertly tailored to the needs of overweight dogs, we've taken a handful of nature's nourishing ingredients and combined them with flavourful lamb for highly digestible, quality protein. Then, using our knowledge and expertise, we lower the physical density of the kibble whilst raising the levels of dietary fibres and protein. So you can fill your pets' bowls up while keeping calories down. This recipe has been carefully formulated for dogs, supplemented with taurine to support heart health and a blend of omega oils, glucosamine, chondroitin and herbs to support joints.
This product contains the following special ingredients and benefits to care for your dog's health and wellbeing:
Lamb Meal - Made with 100% natural lamb.
Brown & White Rice - A highly digestible carbohydrate and energy source, believed to be gentle on the stomach.
Yucca Extract - A natural deodoriser, for less smelly poos.
Omega 3 & 6 Oils - To promote healthy skin and glossy coat.
Prebiotics - Natural inulin from chicory, helping to maintain a healthy gut flora.
Antioxidants - Natural antioxidants from pomegranate, green tea and rosemary to support the immune system. "
I have a healthy Golden Retriever bitch who has just turned 6. She is a big dog for her gender - and although most sources suggest she should be 32 Kilos her natural healthy weight seems to be about 34 - I've always had to keep an eye on her weight and anything over 34 kilos she starts looking a bit'barell'y' of belly. I don't spoil her, she gets a bongo at bed and thats about it. She gets a good energetic hour to an hour and a half exercise a day and yet if I am feeding her normal no slimming food she really has to have a measly amount to keep her weight down and anything extra she will easily pile on weight. I tried her on Royal Canin Maxi light and she started getting flakey and I think her energy levels were low. I tried her on Benevo vegetarian which was fine but plentiful poos and I was worried reading on here that higher meat content might be important for her species! So I tried her on Devoted Chicken and that was ok, glossy poos and fewer but she started with reddening stains around the eyes and I was actually worried that there might be too much meat in the product for her. So I went back to basics with JWB light Turkey and she gets a decent helping, her weight is easier to control. I just worry its only bee scored 3.4 - all I want to know is that she is getting what she needs and its of decent quality. I'm not sure the scoring system on this site really helps me understand that. There seems to be such a high weighting to foods with high meat content and nothing to help folk that have weight control factors to address. Perhaps I am missing something. At the moment this seems to be going well for Lola but I would love it if more advice was available re weight control foods.

Suitable for all breeds of dogs
Private label (or white label) pet foods are pre-formulated recipes that companies can order from certain factories, add their own label or packaging and retail to the public as their own brand. They are therefore available from numerous suppliers. Click here for more info.
In general, unless your dog has health issues, you probably won't have to worry about these figures. Click here for more information
This is the ingredients list as printed on the packaging or manufacturer's website.
Think of the 'mixing bowl' composition like a recipe - all the ingredients you would need to put in a 'mixing bowl' in order to make the food.
Ingredients have to be listed in descending order of their weight so the higher it appears, the more there is.
Highlighted ingredients
Ingredients that we believe to be controversial or inferior are highlighted in yellow with particularly low grade, highly contentious or excessively vague ingredients in red.
As fed composition
While the 'mixing bowl' composition is useful for knowing what went into the food, it doesn't always reflect what your dog is actually eating. This is because the processes that turn the ingredients into the finished pet food can significantly alter the relative weights of the ingredients.
For this reason we've calculated the approximate 'as fed' percentages for the main ingredient categories in the finished product.
Please note that these figures are very approximate. They are estimates based on the information provided by the manufacturer in the ingredients list so the clearer the terminology and the more percentages they provide, the more accurate our estimates will be. Wherever information is lacking, we always assume the worst.
Ingredient categories
◉ Meat ingredients: includes all meat and fish ingredients except isolated fats/oils.
◉Added oils and fats: includes all isolated oil and fat ingredients.
◉ Carb-rich ingredients: includes all ingredients derived from grains, pseudo-grains, potatoes and other starchy root vegetables, sweet potato and legumes (except whole peas which are categorised under fruit and veg) except for isolated protein and extracted oils. Also includes fibre supplements.
◉ Fruit and veg: includes all whole vegetables and fruits.
◉ Other: all other ingredients. Mostly made up by nutritional supplements and additives.
The dry matter level of a nutrient is the percentage there would be in the food if all of the water was removed.
With water taken out of the equation, these figures allow the nutrient levels of foods of different types (like wet and dry) to be compared on an even playing field.
In general, unless your dog has health issues, you probably won't have to worry about these figures. Click here for more information
The price per day of feeding this food based on feeding the manufacturer's recommended daily amount from 12kg bags bought at their rrp to a dog of:
kg
Go!
Note: All suggested feeding amounts and costs are only approximate and may vary considerably from dog to dog. Be sure to contact the manufacturer if in any doubt.
61 out of 100 - Good
Our unique product ratings are calculated based on a number of characteristics including the quality and quantity of the stated ingredients, certain nutritional and technological additives and the processing methods used to create the food. They are designed to indicate how beneficial we think a food is likely to be for the majority of dogs when fed on a daily basis for an extended period. Click here for more information
Country of origin: United Kingdom
A technological additive is any substance added to a pet food "for a technological purpose and which favourably affects the characteristics of feed".
While the primary effects of technoloical additives are certainly 'favourable' (increased shelf life in the case of preservatives & antioxidants, better food texture and consistency in the case of gelling agents and thickeners etc.) some have been linked to health problems in pets and should be treated with caution.
Unfortunately, many technological additives do not have to be declared by the manufacturer so just because they do not appear on the label does not necessarily mean they are not in the food. If in doubt, ask the manufacturer directly exactly what technological additives their foods contain.
