Brit Care Dog Hypoallergenic Adult Large Breed review

Name: Brit Care Dog Hypoallergenic Adult Large Breed
Brand: Brit

68/100Good

DryAdult

A deliberately plain lamb and rice kibble for big dogs with touchy skin or stomachs, in our Good band. The 40% lamb is measured dehydrated, so it means what it says. Glucosamine and chondroitin come with their doses printed.

Our view

Likely to suit

Large breed adults. The kibble, calcium level and feeding curve are drawn for them
Dogs that have fallen out with chicken or beef, since lamb is the one meat named
Heavy dogs whose joints carry real load, with glucosamine at 260 mg/kg in print
Owners who want a short label they can read

Worth watching

Chicken fat, salmon oil and a natural flavour sit behind the lamb, too much for a formal elimination trial
Rice is a big share of the bowl, so it is not grain free

The score, in context

Brit Care Dog Hypoallergenic Adult Large Breed 68.0

All one Good. Typical dry food: Good.

A lamb figure measured after drying and a carbohydrate estimate a little under the typical dry food do most of the earning here.

What's in it

Dehydrated lamb40%Measured after the water has gone, so the figure holds. A sensible first swap away from chicken or beef.
Rice38%The single starch, bland and gluten free.
Dried apple pulp
Chicken fatRendered fat carries little reactive protein, but an elimination trial counts it.
Natural flavourUnnamed. Fine for everyday feeding, a blank for diagnostic feeding.
Brewer's yeast, pea flour
Salmon oil2%Fish on the label.
Glucosamine, chondroitin sulphate260 mg/kg and 200 mg/kgJoint support with real doses.
Fructo-oligosaccharides, mannan-oligosaccharides, β-glucans, Mojave yucca, Lactobacillus helveticus (inactivated)The gut set.
Milk thistle seed, motherwort, sea buckthornTrace level.

A full vitamin panel with taurine and L-carnitine, plus zinc, manganese, copper and iron in organic form.

Hypoallergenic in name, but chicken fat and salmon oil mean it is not a single-protein diet for a formal trial.

Named ingredients
