Brit Care Dog Grain-free Adult Large Breed review

Name: Brit Care Dog Grain-free Adult Large Breed
Brand: Brit

69.7/100Good

DryAdult

A grain-free large-breed kibble that puts almost half its recipe on one fish, and it sits in our Good band. Salmon at 48% leads potatoes at 30%. After that the label reads like a supplement sheet, with joint care, prebiotics, taurine and a probiotic culture all dosed to the milligram.

Our view

Likely to suit

Large-breed adults, with glucosamine at 260 mg/kg and chondroitin sulphate at 200 mg/kg
Dogs that thrive on fish. Salmon is the only named meat protein
Owners who want doses in print, right down to the herbs
Sensitive stomachs, with prebiotic fibres and an inactivated probiotic built in
Heart support in a big dog: taurine at 1,500 mg and L-carnitine at 250 mg

Worth watching

Chicken fat mid-list, so it is not fully single-species for strict elimination feeding
An unexplained natural flavour entry
A working ration at 364 kcal per 100g; keep portions tight on a less active dog

The score, in context

Brit Care Dog Grain-free Adult Large Breed 69.7

All one Good. Typical dry food: Good.

Specificity earns the result: one named fish, supplements with printed doses and organic trace minerals, with carbohydrate tidy for a potato-based kibble.

What's in it

Salmon: dehydrated, hydrolysed48%Dried fish is concentrated, so the headline survives cooking.
Potatoes30%The only starch. No grain on the label.
Dried apple pulpFruit fibre.
Chicken fatFar less allergenic protein than chicken meat, but a strict chicken exclusion should know it is there.
Salmon oil3%
Natural flavourNot explained.
Brewer's yeast, pea flour
Glucosamine, chondroitin sulphate260 mg/kg, 200 mg/kgThe joint pair, dosed.
FOS, MOS, beta-glucans200 mg/kg down to 50 mg/kgFor the gut.
Yucca, milk thistle, motherwort, sea buckthorn, inactivated probiotic150 mg/kg down to 50 mg/kg

A long, fully dosed panel with taurine at 1,500 mg and L-carnitine at 250 mg, and every trace mineral in an organic form, generally the better absorbed.
