Brit Care dog Hypoallergenic Senior Lamb and Rice review

Name: Brit Care dog Hypoallergenic Senior Lamb and Rice
Brand: Brit

66/100Good

DryAdultSenior

The range's plainest recipe eased into old age, with less fat and more fibre so an older dog can eat well without wearing it. It sits in our Good band. Lamb stays the only named meat and rice the only grain, and every senior extra comes with a dose.

Our view

Likely to suit

Seniors slowing down, at 338 kcal per 100g for a quieter routine
Older dogs with sensitive skin or stomachs
Greying joints: glucosamine and chondroitin come dosed
One bag for mixed ages, adult and senior across every breed size

Worth watching

Lignocellulose, an inert fibre there to dilute calories
Chicken fat and salmon oil behind the lamb, which loosens the single-protein reading

The score, in context

Brit Care dog Hypoallergenic Senior Lamb and Rice 66.0

All one Good. Typical dry food: Good.

It keeps the range's honest dried meat share and printed doses, and takes on the high fibre and starch a light build brings.

What's in it

Dehydrated lamb38%Weighed without its water, so the oven does not flatter it. Protein that older muscle needs.
Rice36%The lone starch, and very digestible.
Dried apple pulpSofter, fermentable fibre.
LignocellulosePurified, near calorie-free bulk. A tool, not a food.
Chicken fat, natural flavour, brewer's yeast
Salmon oil2%
Pea flour
Glucosamine, chondroitin sulphate260 mg/kg and 200 mg/kgFor the joints that age complains through first.
Fructo-oligosaccharides, mannan-oligosaccharides, yucca, milk thistle200 down to 90 mg/kg
Beta-glucans, motherwort, sea buckthorn, inactivated Lactobacillus50 mg/kg each

L-carnitine at 250 mg for fat metabolism and lean muscle, and taurine at 1,500 mg for the heart, among a fully dosed panel.

Chicken fat and salmon oil are on the list, so the lamb is not the only animal for strict elimination work.
