Lifelong dog food review
Nine of Lifelong's twelve products are wet food, with three kibbles alongside them. Beef leads six recipes and chicken three. The brand average sits in our Average band, though seven products read Good. Nutritional balance is Outstanding on nine, so the pillar deciding the band is protein and processing, which reads Average on six and Poor on one.

In detail
Lifelong: the closer look
The range
Twelve products, nine wet and three dry. The wet side holds pate trays, meat in gravy and meat in jelly. The dry side is two recipes for medium and large breeds and one for small breeds, chicken on all three. Every label is adult, with a puppy and a senior read on the trays.
Ingredients
Beef leads six products and chicken three, with game and poultry on one each. The four pate trays are flagged grain free. The three kibbles carry joint support, with glucosamine, chondroitin, linseed, taurine and yucca on the label. The gravy and jelly recipes name no extras with us.
Nutrition
The wet recipes run 8.0 to 10.0% protein as fed at 87 to 93 kcal per 100g, and the kibble is 26.0 to 27.0% at 377 to 406 kcal per 100g. Nutritional balance is the strong pillar, Outstanding on nine products.
Strengths

Limitations

- The four pate trays read Average
- Only one puppy and one senior label
Where it is less of a fit
- If you feed a puppy or a senior, check the labels, as one of each is flagged across the list
- If protein and processing is your first test, check that pillar, since it reads Poor on one product and Average on six
- If you want raw or fresh food, check the formats, as this brand is wet and dry
