Bosch Senior review

Name: Bosch Senior
Brand: Bosch

46.5/100Average

DryAdultSenior

A low-fat kibble for dogs slowing down, and it sits in our Average band. The senior touches are pointed: green-lipped mussel for joints, fish oil, prebiotic yeast. The gap to the Good typical is mostly unnamed species and a large grain share, nothing that should worry a label reader.

Our view

Likely to suit

An older dog thickening around the middle: 320 kcal per 100g, fat held at 6%
Seniors whose joints deserve a thought
A big, heavy senior, as the feeding table goes up to 80kg
Ageing stomachs that do better on steady fibre from beet pulp, chicory and yeast

Worth watching

Poultry, animal fat and fish with no species, so no use for an elimination diet
Carbohydrate at 60.3% of dry matter against 46.2% typical
Fish meal and fish oil both on the list

The score, in context

Bosch Senior 46.5

All one Average. Typical dry food: Good.

The reading is about construction, and for an easy-going older dog the low fat and modest calories come across as gentleness, not shortfall.

What's in it

Poultry meat mealConcentrated, water already gone. No species, so it could be chicken one batch and turkey the next.
Rice, barley, corn, milletThe starch work, and the main reason the analysis reads plant-led.
Dried beet pulp (desugared)
Cellulose powderPurified fibre for bulk, not nourishment.
Protein hydrolysate, animal fatThe fat names no animal.
Fish meal, peas, fish oilFish oil for marine omega 3.
Dried yeast0.1% MOS, 0.06% beta-glucansFor older digestion.
Potassium chloride, sodium chloride
Green-lipped mussel extract0.1%A well-regarded natural joint support.
Dried chicory

Vitamin E dosed generously at 400mg per kilo, and zinc in two forms, 70mg as an oxide and 75mg as a better-absorbed chelate.

Named ingredients

Poultry meat meal, rice, barley, corn, millet, dried beet pulp (desugared), cellulose powder, protein hydrolysate, animal fat, fish meal, peas, fish oil, dried yeast (incl. 0.1% mannan oligosaccharides, 0.06% β-glucans), potassium chloride, sodium chloride, green-lipped mussel extract (0.1%), dried chicory.

Against the range

One recipe. Poultry meat meal opens the list, then rice, barley, corn and millet, with beet pulp and cellulose powder lifting fibre to 7.1% of dry matter. Protein finishes at 20.7% and carbohydrate is estimated at 60.3%, so the analysis reads plant-led.
