68.7/100Good

DryAdult

The range's short-list logic applied to the average-sized dog, with one named meat, lamb at 40%, on rice at 35%. It carries a touch more fat than its large breed sibling and the usual dosed joint and gut extras. It comes out in our Good band.

Our view

Likely to suit

Medium breed adults, with kibble and feeding curve sized for them
Sensitive dogs kept to one meat. Lamb is the only animal protein declared
Active family dogs; fat at 16% gives a little more fuel than the large breed version
Owners who like supplements dosed, with glucosamine at 260 mg/kg and chondroitin at 200 mg/kg

Worth watching

Chicken fat and salmon oil, so a true single-protein elimination diet needs a purer list
Rice carrying the carbohydrate, for shoppers after grain free

The score, in context

Brit Care Dog Hypoallergenic Adult Medium Breed 68.7

All one Good. Typical dry food: Good.

Well up towards the top of its band, from nothing exotic: a dried meat share, doses on the label and a carbohydrate estimate under the shelf norm.

What's in it

Dehydrated lamb40%Weighed after the water has gone, so the figure reaches the kibble intact.
Rice35%The only starch, a single gluten-free grain.
Dried apple pulp
Chicken fat, natural flavourA bird in the fat, and a flavour with no source named.
Brewer's yeast, pea flour
Salmon oil2%Fish on a lamb label.
Glucosamine, chondroitin sulphate260 mg/kg, 200 mg/kgDosed in print.
Fructo-oligosaccharides, mannan-oligosaccharides, β-glucans200 mg/kg down to 50 mg/kgThe range's standard digestive kit.
Mojave yucca, milk thistle seed, motherwort, sea buckthorn150 mg/kg down to 50 mg/kgDecorate more than they deliver.
Lactobacillus helveticus, inactivated

A full vitamin list with taurine at 1,500 mg and L-carnitine, and zinc, manganese, copper and iron in organic form.

The lamb-only promise covers the meats, not the whole label: the fat is chicken and the oil is salmon.
