Briantos Adult Light review

Name: Briantos Adult Light
Brand: Briantos

43.2/100Average

DryAdultSenior

Weight control done the traditional way: fat cut to 6.5%, cellulose lifting the fibre so the bowl still feels full, and a plain poultry and grain base. It sits in our Average band. As a blunt slimming tool for an otherwise healthy dog, it does what the name says.

Our view

Likely to suit

Overweight adults on a slimming plan; calories drop without portions shrinking to nothing
Older dogs slowing down, as seniors are covered too
Dogs that do well on grain: rice, maize, barley and millet
Food-motivated dogs on rations. The added fibre bulks each portion

Worth watching

Poultry and pork named by family only, so a specific meat intolerance cannot be avoided with confidence
Carbohydrate at an estimated 57.7% of dry matter; strict portions still matter
No moisture on the label, so our dry-matter figures rest on an assumed 8%

The score, in context

Briantos Adult Light 43.2

All one Average. Typical dry food: Good.

Family-level meat naming, a heavy carbohydrate load and a missing moisture figure hold it back, though the low fat figure is real.
