Dr Clauders: the closer look
The range
Sixteen dry products across seven ranges. Hyposensitive is the biggest at five recipes, then Special Diet at four and Grain Free Wildlife at three. Mini, Best Choice Junior, Adult Medium Breed and Adult Maxi Breed hold one each. Fourteen labels cover adults, two cover puppies and one covers seniors. Four recipes are small-breed and one is large-breed.
Ingredients
Poultry leads seven products, with duck and salmon on three each and herring, venison and lamb on one apiece. Eight recipes are flagged grain free. Linseed and yucca appear across the labels, the Hyposensitive line adds salmon oil and taurine, and Adult Maxi Breed carries glucosamine.
Nutrition
Protein as fed spans 14.0% to 27.0% across the ranges, with fat from 7.0% to 16.0% and energy of 324 to 370 kcal per 100g. Nutritional balance reads Average or Poor on most recipes, and protein and processing reads Average on ten of the sixteen.
Strengths
- Outstanding transparency on four labels
- Eight grain-free recipes
- Grain Free Wildlife reads Good throughout
Limitations
- Nutritional balance reads Poor on seven
- No wet or raw options, just dry
- Transparency reads Poor on two labels
Where it is less of a fit
- If wet or raw has been the diet, check the formats here, as all sixteen products are dry
- If nutritional balance is your priority, check that pillar, since seven recipes read Poor
- If the puppy stage is what you need, check the life stages, as two labels cover it
Score overview
Protein and processing and nutritional balance both read Average or below on most of the catalogue, and that is where the Average band comes from. Transparency is the pillar that lifts it, Outstanding on four labels. Grain Free Wildlife is the strongest range, Good on all three recipes, while Special Diet reads Average on all four.
The average score is the mean of each product's overall score out of 100 (using the best-scoring variety per product), not a flat average across every variety.
