Feeding four different recipes across one pack does more for the owner filling the bowl than for the dog eating out of it, but it does mean nobody has to remember which flavour they left off on.

Each of the four recipes — Chicken, Turkey, Duck and Salmon with Potato & Vegetables — is built the same way: 70% meat and 20% vegetables, made up of fresh potato, peas and carrot, with minerals and a run of small-percentage extras — salmon oil, dried tomato, seaweed, chicory, parsley, basil, green tea, rosemary and rosehip, several of them well under 0.1% of the recipe.

• Chicken 120 kcal/100g, Turkey 116 kcal/100g, Duck 108 kcal/100g
• Grain free; suitable for dogs from 8 weeks

On the word 'complete'. Harringtons describe this as able to be enjoyed as a nourishing complete meal, but the pack does not carry the formal 'complete and balanced' wording some competitors use. Treat that as a difference in labelling style rather than a red flag, but if you feed it as the entire diet, it is worth watching condition rather than assuming the feeding guide is exact for your dog.

Who it's for: owners who want their dog eating something different most nights without keeping four separate boxes in the cupboard, from a young dog at 8 weeks right up through adulthood.
