Brit Fresh Chicken with Potato Adult Great Life review

Name: Brit Fresh Chicken with Potato Adult Great Life
Brand: Brit

71.4/100Excellent

DryAdult

A chicken kibble that puts real numbers behind its extras. Glucosamine at 1,700 mg/kg and chondroitin sulphate at 1,300 mg/kg sit closer to supplement doses than a token sprinkle, and a live probiotic is printed on the label. Fresh chicken at 40% and dried chicken at 20% lead the list. It reaches our Excellent band.

Our view

Likely to suit

The dog that has never left a chicken dinner unfinished
Any build from toy to giant on one recipe
Stiff or hard-working dogs, given the joint doses
Sensitive digestion: a declared probiotic alongside two dosed prebiotics
Owners who read additive lists, as the zinc, iron, manganese and copper are all chelates

Worth watching

Oats and buckwheat make it grain-inclusive
Salmon oil adds a strand of fish to an otherwise chicken-only list

All one Excellent. Typical dry food: Good.

A mainstream recipe executed with unusual care, and the height is earned on substance with nothing novel about it.
