Name: Brit Care Dog Sustainable Activity
Brand: Brit

74.4/100Excellent

DryAdult

Fuel for dogs that work for a living, and it lands in our Excellent band. The difference is the insect: 14% dehydrated insect beside 40% dried and hydrolysed chicken, so almost all the protein is animal. Fat at 24% and 429 kcal per 100g pack a lot into each scoop.

Our view

Likely to suit

Working, sporting and seriously active dogs
Owners who want a smaller footprint in the bowl. Farmed insect supplies 14% of the recipe
Hard-working joints, with glucosamine at 300 mg/kg and chondroitin sulphate at 230 mg/kg printed on the label
Energy from meat and fat, carbohydrate estimated at 28.6% of dry matter
A dog that has never met insect protein before

Worth watching

Too rich at full portions for a dog that mostly supervises the garden. Scale the scoop to the exercise
Chicken leads and salmon oil runs through it, so no good for a dog avoiding chicken or fish
Oats at 26%, so not for a grain-free household

The score, in context
