⭐ 3.7 / 5

Good for for raising a strapping young unit—but that omega ratio’s rougher than a ute on corrugations.

The Quick Bite

This one’s built for big pups doing big growing. With proper meat meals (chicken and turkey), a bone-friendly calcium-phosphorus ratio, and goodies like green-lipped mussel and glucosamine, it’s the kind of feed that sets a large breed pup up for long-term strength. It cops a few knocks for fillers and a dodgy 12.7:1 omega ratio—more puff than polish there—but overall, it’s a solid choice that does the job without skimping on the good bits.

What It Gets Right

✔ Named meats (chicken & turkey meals) lead the list—great protein clarity
✔ Bone-friendly Ca:P ratio (1.36:1)—ideal for large breed development
✔ Balanced fats from animal and plant sources support healthy growth
✔ Loaded with functional extras—glucosamine, green-lipped mussel, fish oil & more
✔ Free from artificial nasties like preservatives and colors

Where It Falls Short

❌ Maize gluten and sorghum act as moderate fillers—less ideal for premium seekers
❌ Omega-6 to Omega-3 ratio (12.7:1) is a bit high less ideal for reducing inflammation and supporting long-term health
❌ “Natural flavour” is vague—slightly impacts ingredient transparency
❌ Caloric density is decent but slightly high for large breed pups
