46.9/100Average

DryAdult

Flavour

A gentler grain-free feed for adults that need a lighter meal, with the gut looked after on both labels. Both varieties sit in our Average band, a step below the typical adult dry food. Pick between them on the protein: ocean white fish or venison.

Our view

Likely to suit

Older dogs easing off, with gentler appetites and slower days
Adults inclined to gain weight. L-Carnitine at 50 mg is added with waistlines in mind
Digestion that needs a gentle hand, helped by beet pulp, FOS and MOS
Homes with mixed sizes, since the label covers toy through to giant

Worth watching

Refined chicken oil, egg and krill on both, so neither can anchor a strict single-protein trial
Carbohydrate at an estimated 49.6% of dry matter, against 46.2% for a typical adult dry food

The score, in context

Venison 49.0
Ocean White Fish 46.9

All two Average. Typical dry food: Good.

Steady middle-order recipes whose case rests on the lighter brief and the digestive care, with the venison a little ahead.

Against the range

Meat: Ocean white fish meal 23%, fresh fish 4%; Venison: fresh venison at 26%.
Joint supplements: Listed, no doses; Dosed in print on the venison.
Calcium, dry matter: 1.74%; Not declared on the venison.

The fish option for a lighter feed, with its protein coming mostly as meal.

Two grain-free recipes that reach the same analysis by different roads: one on ocean white fish meal, one on fresh venison topped up with potato and pea protein. Both finish with protein at 23.9% of dry matter, and sweet potato and potato carry the starch.

Beet pulp, FOS, MOS and yeasts sit on both labels, as do glucosamine, MSM and chondroitin and a berry tail dosed in print. Refined chicken oil, egg and krill appear in both, so the Sensitive in the name is about digestion, not allergy control.
