Arden Grange Adult: Fresh Salmon & Rice review

Name: Arden Grange Adult: Fresh Salmon & Rice
Brand: Arden Grange

59.7/100Good

DryAdult

Flavour

Arden Grange's core kibble sits in our Good band across all four meats, level with the typical adult dry food. The appeal is one steady recipe you can swap proteins inside, each with a joint trio of glucosamine, MSM and chondroitin. It is a moderate-meat, rice-forward build.

Our view

Likely to suit

Rotating proteins without changing the recipe underneath
Dogs that do well on rice, which is about a quarter of each bag
Stiffer or older adults. The joint trio is in every variety
Mixed households, with a feeding table that runs from toy to giant

Worth watching

Chicken in all four as oil, digest or meal, so none suits a confirmed chicken allergy
Krill or fish in every recipe, including the meat-led ones
Joint ingredients with no doses printed

The score, in context

With Fresh Lamb 64.2
With Fresh Chicken 63.9

All four Good. Typical dry food: Good.

The four scores sit close together, so the flavour your dog likes is a better tiebreak than the small gaps between them.

What's in it

Fresh salmon26%Fresh weight, so much of it is water before cooking.
Rice26%Matched to the salmon share.
Chicken meal, fish mealDried, concentrated protein in support. The chicken stops this being a single-protein food.
Corn, beet pulpSecond starch, then steady fibre.
Refined chicken oil, chicken extract
Whole egg powder, yeast
Whole flaxseed, krillPlant and marine omega 3.
Minerals, FOS, MOS, yucca extractPrebiotics for the gut flora.
Glucosamine, MSM, chondroitinThe joint trio, without doses.
Cranberries, nucleotides

Vitamins A, D3 and E are dosed; the trace minerals sit under a general minerals entry.

Chicken meal sits third on a salmon recipe, so a chicken-sensitive dog cannot use this one.

Named ingredients

Fresh salmon, 26%, rice 26%, chicken meal, corn, beet pulp, refined chicken oil, whole egg powder, chicken extract, fish meal, yeast, whole flaxseed, krill, minerals, prebiotic FOS, prebiotic MOS, yucca extract, glucosamine, MSM, chondroitin, cranberries, nucleotides

Against the range

Lead meat: Fresh salmon 26%; The others lead on meat meal with 5% fresh meat.
Carbohydrate, dry matter: 46.2%; Joint highest with the chicken; the pork is 42.4%.
Fish meal: Yes; The others carry krill only.

The natural pick for a dog that does best on fish, as long as chicken is no problem.

Every recipe is drawn the same way: a named animal first, rice at 26 to 28% beside it, then a second starch. Corn or maize fills that slot in three, sweet potato in the pork. Protein is 25% on every label, or 27.2% of dry matter, and estimated carbohydrate runs from 42.4% to 46.2% of dry matter.

Chicken oil and chicken digest appear throughout, and krill is in every bag, so chicken and fish reach all four bowls. Beet pulp, FOS and MOS, cranberries, yucca and nucleotides make up the tail, with glucosamine, MSM and chondroitin listed undosed in each.
