Animonda Integra Protect Sensitive review

Name: Animonda Animonda Integra Protect Sensitive
Brand: Animonda

We don't put a score on this food. It is a veterinary diet, formulated for a diagnosed condition and meant to be fed on a vet's advice. Your vet has seen your dog and we have not, so a number from us could only pull you towards their advice or away from it, and neither of those is ours to do. What follows is what the label declares, what the analysis works out at, and where to buy it, with no judgement attached to any of it.

Animonda places this one in its Integra Protect range as the Sensitive diet, a turkey and maize kibble the maker offers as a limited-ingredient option for dogs with suspected food intolerances.

What's on the label

The whole list runs to eight entries. Maize is first and dried turkey protein second, with poultry fat third and turkey liver fourth. Turkey is the only meat named by species anywhere on the label, and keeping the animal list that short is the point of a recipe built for intolerance work.

Two entries stop it being strictly single-source, and both are worth knowing about before an exclusion trial starts. The fat is listed as poultry fat rather than turkey fat, so it may or may not come from the same bird, and salmon oil puts fish into the food. Neither is hidden on the label, but neither is turkey either.

Maize gluten sits fifth. It is the protein fraction left over from maize processing, and it lifts the protein figure without bringing another animal in, which suits a recipe trying to hold the meat down to one name. DL-methionine follows, an amino acid supplement of the sort makers add when part of the protein in the bowl is coming from grain, and potassium chloride is the only other mineral called out.

The panel gives 24.5% protein and 16.0% fat, working out at 26.1% and 17.0% of dry matter against declared moisture of 6.0%. Crude fibre is printed at 1.5% and ash at 6.5%, the carbohydrate estimate reaches 45.5% as fed and 48.4% of dry matter, and energy is 404 kcal per 100g. Maize doing that much of the lifting is simply what a short ingredient list looks like when the animal side is kept to one bird.

Vitamin A is declared at 15000 IU and vitamin D3 at 1200 IU, with zinc oxide at 60 mg and manganese oxide at 6 mg, and copper and iodine both dosed in print. Animonda's guide runs 40 to 80 grams a day at 2 to 5kg and 90 to 185 grams at 6 to 15kg. Larger dogs get 230 to 310 grams at 20 to 30kg and 385 to 520 grams at 40 to 60kg. How long to run it, and what to look for while you do, are things for the vet who set the trial to decide.
