Arden Grange Adult: Rich In Fresh Pork & Rice review

Name: Arden Grange Adult: Rich In Fresh Pork & Rice
Brand: Arden Grange

62.6/100Good

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

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

Pork: dried pork, fresh pork30%25% dried and 5% fresh. A novel meat for many dogs.
Rice28%
Sweet potato10%Stands in for the maize the other three use.
Chicken oilChicken on a pork label.
Pea proteinPlant protein that lifts the analysis.
Beet pulp, yeast, chicken digestThe digest is there for palatability.
Linseed, dried krill1.5%Share given for the linseed only.
Minerals, FOS, MOS, nucleotides, yucca extract
Glucosamine, MSM, chondroitin sulphateUndosed.
Dried cranberries

The fullest panel of the four: vitamins A, D3 and E plus zinc, copper and manganese as amino acid chelates, and iodine, all dosed per kilo.

Chicken oil and chicken digest are on the list, so this is not a chicken-free pork food.

Named ingredients

Pork 30% (dried pork 25%, fresh pork 5%), rice 28%, sweet potato 10%, chicken oil, pea protein, beet pulp, yeast, chicken digest, linseed 1.5%, dried krill, minerals, fructooligosaccharides (prebiotic FOS) 900mg/kg, mannan-oligosaccharides (prebiotic MOS) 400mg/kg, nucleotides, yucca extract, glucosamine, methylsulfonylmethane (MSM), chondroitin sulphate, dried cranberries 100mg/kg.

Against the range

Second starch: Sweet potato 10%; Corn or maize in the other three.
Carbohydrate, dry matter: 42.4%; Lowest in the range; the others reach 46.2%.
Trace minerals: Chelates dosed per kilo; The others print vitamins only.

The one to choose for a pork-friendly dog, and the most openly declared of the four.

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.
