On the left – data from the official site of the manufacturer. On the right is a translation.
In the first place – poultry protein (dried) 28%. This ingredient is the main source of protein in the feed, but a little further in composition there is dried lamb protein 9%. In both cases, this protein is not known to have come from meat, offal, or leftover meat products. However, there are no plant-based protein-rich ingredients, which means almost all of the 28% protein reported in the analysis is of animal origin.
The source of carbohydrates are rice, potato starch, pea starch. Although the last two are more processing aids and act as thickeners than really nutritional ingredients for dogs.
Many of the other Super Premium formulas in the line contain corn, so they are not super premium.
The source of fats and fatty acids is poultry fat. Beet pomace and apple pomace are sources of fiber. Hydrolyzed poultry protein is a natural flavoring and also a source of protein.

Customer Reviews
I have a Kurzhaar girl, 6 months old, I bought a puppy at the age of three months, the breeder fed me porridge and meat. For two months I fed her like this, Boiled beef, raw beef, beef liver, Sea fish, well, of course, everyday cooking of cereals.
In general, it was tired of me, decided to go to drying, and somehow accidentally stumbled upon Joser Junior. So, for a month now the dog is happy to eat this food, it goes to the toilet normally, there is no allergy, in general, everything suits.
What will happen next – time will tell. My dog likes food, and the price is happy with me. If everything will continue to be normal, then up to a year I will feed this food. Then I will switch to adult dog feed.
*Photos above are not a direct illustration of the reviews presented in the review.
And we tried Joser, did not fit. The girl’s girl was allergic, began to itch, dandruff appeared. They returned to Royal Kanin and everything returned to normal. But the shepherd in this stern feels great.
Good, high-quality food from a famous German manufacturer. I feed them my puppy of the breed Kane Corso. Recruited this food in the nursery in which the puppy purchased. The dog is already eating the second 15-kilogram bag of Josera Kids. Therefore, I advise everyone. For up to 4 months, he fed the baby with Josera Family food, and then transferred to this one.
