What the label does not say

Beyond the protein and fat figures and the word "chicken", Dr John do not publish an ingredients list, a fibre or ash analysis, or a daily feeding amount for this food. That is unusually thin for a 15KG bag of working dog food — if you weigh portions against a printed table or check for specific allergens before buying, this card cannot answer either question, only the bag itself will.

Why we chose it

At 18% protein and 6% fat it sits as an everyday working dog's food rather than a specialist one, and that is exactly the gap Matt wanted filling — something plain and chicken-based for dogs that work but don't need a performance diet. The 15KG bag size means it isn't a food you're reordering every fortnight.

— Matt, founder

Specifications

Brand: Dr John
Protein: 18%
Food type: Complete

Full description

A dog that works for a living rarely turns its nose up at plain kibble, so basting the outside of each piece in chicken juice is really there to reassure the person filling the bowl rather than to win over the dog eating from it.

This is a complete dry food for adult sporting and working dogs, built around chicken. Dr John give us the headline analysis — 18% protein and 6% oils and fats — and describe the kibble as crunchy, bite-sized pieces basted in chicken juices. Beyond that headline figure there is no ingredients list beyond "chicken", no fibre or ash breakdown, and no daily feeding amount published for this bag. It comes as a 15KG sack.
