Our view

Likely to suit

Everyday adults with decent energy needs, at 17% fat and 390 kcal per 100g
Owners who like fresh meat matched by meal
Dogs that do better on less cereal, with rice stopping at 19%
Homes that want gut and joint extras, from FOS and MOS to glucosamine, MSM and chondroitin

Worth watching

Fish meal and krill on the list, so a chicken food but not a fish-free one
Joint supplements carry no doses, so count them as a bonus
The richer feed needs watching on a sedate dog

The score, in context

Arden Grange Premium 64.6

All one Good. Typical dry food: Good.

A food that does the fundamentals properly, declares its meat split plainly and lets a sound analysis carry the argument.

Fish meal and krill are in the recipe, which matters only if your dog must avoid fish.
