Optimum Pet Health dog food review

Optimum Pet Health puts nine dry recipes and six wet ones in our Excellent band. Chicken leads all but one label, almost every product is grain free and most are single protein. Transparency is Outstanding on fourteen of the fifteen. The thing that shapes the choice is how narrow the protein list is.

In detail

Optimum Pet Health: the closer look

The range

Fifteen products, each one in a range of its own. Nine are dry and six are wet, with cans and trays on the wet side. Ten labels are adult, five puppy and three senior. Breed size recipes run from small to large, and there is a weight control kibble and a sensitive adult one.

Ingredients

Chicken leads fourteen recipes and salmon leads the sensitive adult kibble. Fourteen products are grain free and thirteen are single protein. Ten labels carry joint support, so glucosamine, chondroitin and MSM turn up often, with linseed, taurine, yucca and salmon oil alongside.

Nutrition

The dry recipes run 25.0 to 32.0% protein as fed, with fat from 11.0 to 20.0% and energy of 314 to 380 kcal per 100g. The wet food sits at 9.5 to 10.0% protein and 100 to 121 kcal per 100g. Protein and processing reads Good or better on fourteen recipes.

Strengths

  • Outstanding transparency on fourteen recipes
  • Grain free and single protein on most labels
  • Dry and wet across every life stage

Limitations

  • Chicken leads all but one recipe
  • Nutritional balance reads Average on four
  • No raw or cold-pressed food

Where it is less of a fit

  • If your dog needs a change of meat, check the labels, since chicken leads fourteen of the fifteen
  • If you want raw or cold-pressed food, check the formats here, as the range is dry and wet
  • If nutritional balance is your first test, check that pillar, which reads Average on four recipes

Score overview

Transparency is Outstanding on fourteen of the fifteen recipes and value reads Excellent on eight, which lifts the average into our Excellent band. Nutritional balance is the read that varies, Outstanding on five and Average on four. Eight products read Excellent and seven read Good, and that split runs across both dry and wet.

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.
