Arden Grange Sensitive: Ocean White Fish & Potato review

Name: Arden Grange Sensitive: Ocean White Fish & Potato
Brand: Arden Grange

50.8/100Good

DryAdult

Flavour

The brand's recipe for dogs whose stomachs protest at ordinary food, in a venison and a white fish version, both in our Good band. What sets it apart is the printed doses: prebiotics, joint supplements and berries all carry a figure.

Our view

Likely to suit

Delicate digestion, the range's whole purpose
Dogs that have fallen out with chicken or beef as the lead meat
Owners who like a quantified label
Steering clear of cereal: sweet potato and potato do the binding

Worth watching

Refined chicken oil, egg and krill in both, so neither suits a formal elimination trial
Pea and potato protein topping up the venison recipe

The score, in context

Arden Grange Sensitive 53.2
Ocean White Fish 50.8

All two Good. Typical dry food: Good.

The two sit within a whisker of each other, so choose on protein and not on standing.

Named ingredients

Against the range

Lead animal: White fish, 22% fresh and 18% meal; Fresh venison 26% in the other.
Plant protein: None added; Pea and potato protein in the venison.
Carbohydrate, dry matter: 45.6%; 44.5% in the venison.

The more convincing animal protein backbone of the two.

Each recipe headlines one named animal, fresh venison or ocean white fish, and binds with sweet potato and potato with no grain anywhere. Refined chicken oil, whole egg and krill run through both, so the headline animal is never the only one.

The tail is unusually well documented: elderberries, rosehips, black pepper and the other berries all carry a dose, down to curcumin at 100mg/kg. Prebiotic FOS and MOS, beet pulp, yucca, and the glucosamine, MSM and chondroitin trio are common to both.
