Harringtons Lamb & Rice

It's worth checking what a "lamb" dog food's headline ingredient actually breaks down to before assuming lamb is the main event, and this bag is a good example of why that check matters.

Harringtons Lamb & Rice is built on "lamb and meat meals" at 28% of the recipe, made up of 7% dried lamb and 4% freshly prepared chicken, with the rest unspecified meat meal. The remainder of the recipe is maize, barley, oats (10%), rice (5.6%), chicken fat (3%) and an omega blend of salmon oil, vegetable oil and linseed (1.8%). Analysis gives 21% protein, 11% fat, 2.5% crude fibre and 8.5% crude ash, and it's a complete food for dogs aged 8 weeks and over.

On the name. Of the 28% "lamb and meat meals," only 7% is specifically dried lamb — there's also 4% freshly prepared chicken in there, with the balance an unnamed meat meal. It's genuinely a lamb-containing food, just not a lamb-majority one, in exactly the same way as Harringtons' Turkey recipe in this range.

Who it's for: owners who want a lamb-based dry food (as an alternative to a chicken- or beef-led diet) with a clear per-weight feeding guide, for dogs aged 8 weeks and over.
