Brit Care Dog Sustainable Sensitive review

Name: Brit Care Dog Sustainable Sensitive
Brand: Brit

63.6/100Good

DryAdult

A Good-band sensitivity kibble with chicken and grain left out altogether. Dehydrated insect and dehydrated white fish lead at 14% each, and coconut oil at 8% supplies much of the fat where most kibbles use poultry fat. Hydrolysed white fish protein at 4% is there for a touchy digestion.

Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs that react to chicken. It appears nowhere on the list, fat included
Delicate digestion: hydrolysed fish protein, prebiotics and an inactivated probiotic culture
Grain-avoiding dogs, as peas and pulses do the binding
Households keen on lower-impact protein, with insect sharing the lead at 14%
Joint support dosed in print, glucosamine at 300 mg/kg

Worth watching

Insect, fish and egg all feature, so it cannot be a strict single-protein elimination diet
Peas in four forms, so plant protein carries a real share of the total
Coconut oil as the main fat is unusual. Move a delicate gut across gradually

The score, in context

Brit Care Dog Sustainable Sensitive 63.6

All one Good. Typical dry food: Good.

Nothing in the scoring lets it down, and for a sensitivity recipe that steadiness is rather the point.

What's in it

Yellow peas, green peas14% eachWhole peas bring fibre and micronutrients.
Dried apple pulp
Pea proteinA refined form there to lift protein. Plant protein is less digestible for dogs than animal protein.
Coconut oil8%The main fat, in place of the usual poultry fat.
Hydrolysed white fish protein4%Broken into fragments small enough that a touchy gut tends to accept them more readily.
Brewer's yeast
Salmon oil, linseed2% eachMarine omega 3 from the salmon oil, the plant kind from linseed.
Egg shells, pea flourEgg shells are the calcium source, and they put egg on the allergen list.
Glucosamine, chondroitin, FOS, MOS, yucca, herbs, probiotic300 mg/kg down to 60 mg/kgJoint and gut support, each dosed in print. Milk thistle and sea buckthorn at trace level.
