Arden Grange Adult: With Fresh Lamb & Rice review

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

64.2/100Good

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

What's in it

Rice26%
Maize
Refined chicken oilChicken on a lamb label.
Beet pulp, whole dried egg
Chicken digest, yeastThe digest helps palatability.
Whole linseed, krillOmega 3 from plant and sea.
Minerals, FOS, MOS, yucca extract
Glucosamine, MSM, chondroitinListed without doses.
Cranberries, nucleotides

Vitamins A, D3 and E dosed; the rest comes under a general minerals entry.

Chicken oil and chicken digest are on the list, so this lamb food still carries chicken.

Named ingredients

Lamb (lamb meat meal 29%, fresh lamb 5%), rice 26%, maize, refined chicken oil, beet pulp, whole dried egg, chicken digest, yeast, whole linseed, krill, minerals, prebiotic FOS, prebiotic MOS, yucca extract, glucosamine, MSM, chondroitin, cranberries, nucleotides.

Against the range

Meat: Lamb meal 29% plus fresh lamb 5%; The most declared meat of the four.
Protein and processing: Good; Shared with the chicken only.
Carbohydrate, dry matter: 43%; 42.4% on the pork, 46.2% on salmon and chicken.

The most meat of the range and the highest score, for a dog that eats lamb happily.

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.
