Brit Care Dog Grain-free Sensitive review

Name: Brit Care Dog Grain-free Sensitive
Brand: Brit

65.4/100Good

DryAdult

Built for the dog whose stomach complains about ordinary kibble, and it finishes in our Good band. Venison leads, a red meat most dogs have never eaten, so an established intolerance has nothing to react to. The supporting cast is chosen almost entirely for digestion: prebiotic fibres, soothing herbs and an inactivated probiotic culture.

Our view

Likely to suit

Touchy digestion, the recipe's stated audience
Allergy-prone dogs, with no other meat on the list
Dogs that do better without cereals. Potatoes and pea flour do the binding
Creaky joints, with glucosamine at 300 mg/kg and chondroitin at 230 mg/kg

Worth watching

Salmon oil at 5% rules out a strict fish elimination trial
An everyday food for sensitive dogs; a diagnosed gut condition still needs the vet's lead

A quietly earned placing, built on a meat figure declared in its dried form and a fully dosed vitamin and mineral panel.
