Arden Grange Grain Free Adult Superfoods Wet: Chicken review

Name: Arden Grange Grain Free Adult Superfoods Wet: Chicken
Brand: Arden Grange

75.9/100Excellent

WetAdult

A single-meat, grain-free tin in our Excellent band, and the analysis behind the berry list is genuinely lean. Chicken is the only animal on the label, with no fish oil and no unnamed fat to work around. The reason to buy it is the chicken and the numbers, not the superfoods.

Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs kept to one animal
Grain-avoiding homes. Carrots, peas and sweet potato carry what little starch there is
Protein without heaviness, at 47.6% of dry matter
Older dogs, with glucosamine and chondroitin sulphate in the tin
A digestion that could use a hand, with FOS and MOS both listed

Worth watching

Chicken is the meat dogs meet most, so a dog that has reacted to it needs a different tin
Berries and botanicals at 100 mg/kg each, a garnish more than a working amount
No printed dose for the joint support

The details

Dog fit

Listed for adults of every size. The label guide runs from 625 to 1050 grams for a dog of 10 to 20 kg, a little over two tins for a 15kg dog, so plan the cupboard accordingly.

The score, in context

Chicken 75.9

All one Excellent. Typical wet food: Excellent.

The analysis does the lifting here: lean, meat-led and lower in carbohydrate than the typical wet tin.

What's in it

Fresh chicken60%The only animal ingredient in the tin.
Carrots, peas, sweet potato2% eachA deliberately small plant base.
Minerals
LinseedFor fibre and plant omega 3.
FOS, MOSPrebiotics, less common on a wet label than a dry one.
Coconut oil, linseed oilcoconut oil 0.2%The added fat.
Glucosamine, chondroitin sulphateUndosed.
Spirulina, chia seeds200mg/kg each
Cranberry and pomegranate extracts, dried blueberries, mulberries, lingonberries, rosehips100mg/kg eachA flourish, not a functional dose.

A short dosed panel: copper, zinc, manganese and iodine, with vitamin D3, vitamin E and L-carnitine.

Omega 3 comes from linseed and chia, a less direct source of the long chain oils than fish.

Named ingredients

Against the range

Fresh chicken at 60% is the only animal ingredient, on a small grain-free base of carrots, peas and sweet potato at 2% each. Protein converts to 47.6% of dry matter and estimated carbohydrate to 10.0%. The superfoods all carry a milligram figure; the joint support does not.
