Brit Care Dog Hypoallergenic Weight Loss review

Name: Brit Care Dog Hypoallergenic Weight Loss
Brand: Brit

65.4/100Good

DryAdult

A novel meat and a properly engineered diet structure in one bag, which is rarer than either alone. Dehydrated rabbit at 36% keeps protein up while fat drops to 9%. A fibre stack of lignocellulose, apple pulp and psyllium fills the bowl for very few calories. It sits in our Good band.

Our view

Likely to suit

Overweight dogs on a slimming plan
Allergy-prone dieters, as rabbit is a meat few dogs have ever reacted to
Losing weight without losing muscle, with L-carnitine dosed at 300 mg
Joints carrying extra weight: glucosamine at 300 mg/kg and chondroitin at 230
Dieters of any size, toy to giant

Worth watching

A tenth of the recipe is lignocellulose, so expect larger, firmer stools
Chicken fat and salmon oil beside the rabbit, so not suited to a formal elimination trial

The score, in context

Brit Care Dog Hypoallergenic Weight Loss 65.4

All one Good. Typical dry food: Good.

Coherence lifts it: protein, fat and fibre all pull in the slimming direction at once, on a label dosed all the way down.
