89.3/100Outstanding

RawAdultSenior

Outstanding, our top band, in the raw category where the typical food already sits on that word. This is the brand's adult turkey mince with joint support added, aimed at the dog who has started taking the stairs more slowly. The joint ingredients are declared with a ceiling and no milligram figure.

Our view

Likely to suit

Older dogs, with joint support arriving in dinner and no separate scoop
Big-framed adults carrying a lot of dog over their joints
Dogs kept off chicken. Turkey is the only bird
Raw feeders who want liver, heart and kidney named, each at 5%
Any size from 5kg to 40kg

Worth watching

Glucosamine, chondroitin and MSM printed as under 1% with no milligram figure, a problem if your vet gave you a dose to hit
Ox organs mean beef as well as turkey in the bowl
Freezer room, an overnight defrost and raw-meat hygiene afterwards

The score, in context

Benyfit Natural Joint Support 89.3

All one Outstanding. Typical raw food: Outstanding.

Named meat, a real organ share and a short plant side earn the place; the joint pair is a reason to choose this over a plain turkey mince.
