Arden Grange Adult: With Fresh Chicken & Rice review

Name: Arden Grange Adult: With Fresh Chicken & Rice
Brand: Arden Grange

63.9/100Good

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

Named ingredients

Chicken (chicken meat meal 27%, fresh chicken 5%), rice (26%), maize, refined chicken oil, beet pulp, chicken digest, whole dried egg, krill, yeast, whole linseed, minerals, prebiotic FOS, prebiotic MOS, yucca extract, glucosamine, MSM, chondroitin, cranberries, nucleotides.

Against the range

Meat: Chicken meal 27%, fresh chicken 5%; Lamb declares the most meat; salmon leads on fresh fish.
Protein and processing: Good; Shared with the lamb; salmon and pork read Average.
Carbohydrate, dry matter: 46.2%; Level with the salmon; pork 42.4%.

The house classic and the simplest start for a dog with no history against poultry.

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.
