Flavour

Amazon's own-brand dry range runs to size-specific chicken recipes, a light senior and a lamb-led sensitive, and all five sit in our Good band. The supplement list is more considered than the plain packaging suggests. Algae oil supplies marine omega 3s without any fish oil, and a probiotic runs through every bag.

Our view

Likely to suit

Owners matching kibble to dog size, with mini, medium and large recipes
Greying dogs thickening around the middle, on the senior light
Dogs needing a gentler recipe. The sensitive swaps wheat and maize for rice and pea starch
Skin and gut extras as standard in every variety
Big dogs with loaded joints, with glucosamine in the large adult

Worth watching

Chicken and unnamed poultry in all five, the lamb included, so none suits a chicken-free or elimination diet
Wheat and maize in the four chicken recipes

The score, in context

Sensitive Adult Lamb 57.9
Mini Adult Chicken 55.4
Large Adult Chicken 53.5
Medium Adult Chicken 52.9
Senior Light Chicken 50.7

All five Good. Typical dry food: Good.

The spread between the five comes from naming, not nutrition, and the lamb-led sensitive recipe edges ahead because its label says the most.

Kibble for small mouths.

All five are built on dehydrated and hydrolysed proteins, with fresh chicken at 4% in every recipe and poultry unnamed. Each carries algae oil for EPA and DHA, FOS and yeast cell walls for prebiotic fibre, an Enterococcus faecium probiotic and an inactivated Lactobacillus culture. The mineral panel mixes standard salts with chelated iron, zinc, manganese and copper, all dosed.

The starch is what varies: wheat, maize and rice in the three adult chicken recipes, barley, peas and psyllium added in the senior, and rice, brown rice and pea starch in the sensitive.
