Gentle dog food review
Cold-pressed food is the heart of Gentle, with four wet recipes and one small-bite kibble beside it. Game proteins run through the range: duck, goat, pheasant and venison. The brand average sits in our Good band, and half the products read Excellent. Transparency is Outstanding on nine of the ten. Nutritional balance is the read that holds it back.

In detail
Gentle: the closer look
The range
Ten products. Five are cold-pressed and four are wet. The last is a small-bite kibble. The cold-pressed line splits by protein into goat, fish, egg, Iberico and the original recipe. Most of those labels are for adults, with puppies and seniors covered too. The Tinned range holds four game recipes for adults.
Ingredients
Goat and chicken each lead two products, with duck, pheasant, venison and white fish on one apiece. Five recipes are grain free. Linseed is on most of the cold-pressed labels, with yucca on several, and three recipes are flagged for joint support.
Nutrition
The tins sit at 7.4% to 11.4% protein as fed and 68 to 118 kcal per 100g. Protein in the cold-pressed and dry recipes is 23% to 26.8%, with 325 to 359 kcal. Nutritional balance is Outstanding on four products and Average on six, and protein and processing reads Good or better on nine.
Strengths
- Outstanding transparency on nine products
- Game proteins across the tinned range
- Cold-pressed, wet and dry in one range
Limitations
- Nutritional balance Average on six products
- Only one dry recipe
- A small catalogue of ten products
Where it is less of a fit
- If you want a large kibble range, check the formats, since only one product here is dry
- If you want nutritional balance high across the board, check that read, which is Average on six of the ten
- If you want raw food, check what the range holds, as Gentle is cold-pressed, wet and dry
Score overview
Transparency does the heavy lifting, Outstanding on nine products, and value reads Excellent on five. The four tinned recipes are the strongest part of the catalogue and all of them read Excellent. The cold-pressed recipes mostly land a band below at Good, and nutritional balance at Average on six products is what keeps the average there.
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.
