61.5/100Good

DryAdult

A grain free chicken kibble in our Good band, built around what changes after neutering: a slower metabolism and a keener appetite. Fat is held to 12%, fibre rises to 6.0%, and L-carnitine is dosed at 2,500mg/kg. Nearly every extra on the label carries a figure.

Our view

Likely to suit

Neutered or spayed dogs with a thickening waist
Dogs that finish the bowl and beg for more. Beet pulp and pea fibre help a meal last
Owners keeping grain out
Creakier dogs: glucosamine and MSM at 370mg/kg, chondroitin at 260mg/kg
Long-term feeding, with taurine dosed for the heart

Worth watching

Chicken is the whole meat headline, so a chicken-intolerant dog needs a different lead protein
Dried krill on the list keeps it off a plan that avoids fish
