Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs carrying a little extra weight
A lighter feed without a change of flavour. Chicken stays the named meat
Slower or stiffer dogs, with glucosamine, MSM and chondroitin on the list
Every size, toy to giant

Worth watching

Rice and maize ahead of any meat, so cereals do the heavy lifting
Krill in the recipe, so not fish free
No doses printed for the joint trio

The details

Dog fit

Listed for adults of every size. The label asks 160 to 210 grams for dogs between 10kg and 15kg, so a 15kg dog sits at the top of that span.

The score, in context

Arden Grange Light 48.9

All one Average. Typical dry food: Good.

A conventional recipe doing a specific job: the cereal-led list holds it back, the trimmed fat and sensible extras keep it in place.

Krill is on the list, so this is not for a strict fish-free plan.
