UK · Dry working and sporting dog food
Countryside Mix provides a useful example of why a recipe label is more informative than a meat-percentage headline. This is a desk-based label review, without a feeding trial.
What this review covers
The manufacturer positions its range as working and sporting dog food. Countryside Mix lists lamb, duck and rabbit ingredients. Check the intended use of the exact pack before choosing it for a growing or less-active dog.
Nutrition: As sold: protein 30.5%; fat 14%; fibre 4%; ash 11.5%; moisture 8%. Declared energy 353.5 kcal/100g, equivalent to 3,535 kcal/kg.
Price context: GBP pack-selection price required. The source headline does not identify a comparable bag size, so no cost-per-day claim is made.
Ingredients and recipe scope
The declaration begins with prepared duck, prepared lamb, sweet potato, dried duck and potato, with further animal ingredients, minerals and smaller additions. See the source for the complete list.
Practical advantages
The page publishes calorie density and a detailed recipe declaration, which help with portion and cost arithmetic.
Limitations to weigh
Multiple animal ingredients mean this is not a single-protein recipe. Working-dog positioning should not be treated as a universal suitability claim.
Our editorial assessment
Use the manufacturer’s pack guide and your dog’s body-condition history rather than matching on breed alone. The recipe is included for research comparison, not automatically selected for every adult dog in our tool.
Feeding and alternatives
Use the current pack or plan instructions for this exact food. Our healthy-adult calorie tool explains its assumptions and is not a prescribed feeding amount. Compare another approach in our alternative review, then check the differences in format, life stage and daily cost.
