Brit Care Grain-Free Adult review

Name: Brit Care Grain-Free Adult
Brand: Brit

72.2/100Excellent

DryAdult

An Excellent grain-free kibble that commits fully to fish: salmon at 50%, potatoes at 26%, salmon oil on top. The joint pair and the prebiotics are printed with real doses. For a dog that has struggled on the usual meats, it is worth a look.

Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs out of patience with the common meats
Grain-avoiding households
Coat-conscious owners, with salmon oil at 3% over a fish-led recipe
Ageing or heavy-set dogs: glucosamine at 260 mg/kg, chondroitin sulphate at 200 mg/kg

Worth watching

Chicken fat sits fourth, so a strict chicken elimination is not fully covered
Fish from the meat to the oil, for anyone shopping around a fish allergy

The score, in context

Brit Care Grain-Free Adult 72.2

All one Excellent. Typical dry food: Good.

A single named meat at a genuinely high inclusion lifts this a step above the typical dry food.

Named ingredients

Salmon (50%) (dehydrated salmon, hydrolysed salmon), potatoes (26%), dried apple pulp, chicken fat, salmon oil (3%), natural flavour, pea flour, glucosamine (260 mg/kg), fructo-oligosaccharides (200 mg/kg), chondroitin sulphate (200 mg/kg), mannan-oligosaccharides (150 mg/kg), Mojave yucca (150 mg/kg), milk thistle seed (90 mg/kg), β-glucans (50 mg/kg), dried motherwort (50 mg/kg), dried sea buckthorn (50 mg/kg), probiotic Lactobacillus helveticus HA - 122 inactivated (15x109 cells/kg).

Against the range

Salmon at 50% is the only meat, dried and hydrolysed so the share is not propped up by water. Potatoes at 26% carry the starch with no grain. Chicken fat is the cooking fat, and the supplements come with doses.
