Caboodle Superfood Senior Light Dry Food: Free-Range Turkey (Small Breed) review

Name: Caboodle Superfood Senior Light Dry Food: Free-Range Turkey (Small Breed)
Brand: Caboodle

75.7/100Excellent

DryAdultSenior

Flavour

A light senior kibble for small dogs whose metabolism has slowed before their appetite has, with both flavours in our Excellent band. Fat is trimmed to 11% while protein stays generous, so what the recipe cuts is energy. L-Carnitine at 240 mg helps the body use the fat that is there.

Our view

Likely to suit

Small breed dogs in their later years, adult and senior on one bag
Little dogs thickening round the middle
Joint support printed in milligrams in both flavours
Fish-fed dogs, since every named animal in the salmon is salmon
Grain free homes

Worth watching

Dried pork at 14% in the turkey, so it is a two-meat recipe
No ash figure on the turkey label
An unnamed omega 3 supplement in both, so even the salmon is not fully single-source

The score, in context

Scottish Salmon 76.2
Free-Range Turkey (Small Breed) 75.7

All two Excellent. Typical dry food: Good.

Barely anything separates the two; the salmon edges ahead on a complete declaration and a restrained carbohydrate estimate.

Named ingredients

65% Turkey & Pork (Freshly Prepared Free Range Turkey (35%), Dried Pork (14%), Dried Turkey (11.5%), Turkey Gravy (2.5%), Turkey Fat (2%), Sweet Potato, Beans, Beet Pulp, Dried Superfood Blend* (including Parsley, Papaya, Nettle, Courgette, Pumpkin), Minerals, Omega 3 Supplement, Joint Pack (Glucosamine 178 mg/kg, Methylsulfonylmethane 178 mg/kg, Chondroitin Sulphate 125 mg/kg), Fructooligosaccharides (175 mg/kg), Mannanoligosaccharides (50 mg/kg), Olive Extract (0.01%)

Against the range

Meat: Turkey 35% fresh, dried pork 14%, dried turkey 11.5%; The salmon is salmon throughout.
Protein, as declared: 37.5%; 35% in the salmon.
Ash: Not declared; 9.5% in the salmon.

The flavour for taste, with more declared protein, though not one for single-species feeding.

Both flavours declare 65% animal content led by a 35% fresh share, with a dried backup behind it. Fat is held at 11% in both, sweet potato, beans and beet pulp make up the plant side with no grain, and each carries the same printed joint trio and L-Carnitine at 240 mg.

What varies is the animal behind the fresh share and how fully the analysis is declared: the salmon is fish throughout and prints its ash, while the turkey adds dried pork and leaves ash off.
