Chudleys Lamb Sensitive review

Name: Chudleys Lamb Sensitive
Brand: Chudleys

48.8/100Average

DryAdult

A plain lamb kibble for a calmer stomach: wheat left out, a dosed prebiotic added. It sits in our Average band. For a dog that only needs the usual suspects off the menu, it is a very usable everyday bag, and plenty of dogs labelled sensitive are really just wheat-weary.

Our view

Likely to suit

Digestion that protests at richer, busier recipes
Owners avoiding wheat. Maize, oats, barley and rice share the starch
Gut-focused feeders, with the prebiotic yeast dosed at 2,000mg/kg
Toy breeds and giants eating side by side, on one feeding guide

Worth watching

Chicken fat and salmon oil, so a strict lamb-only elimination diet is out
Maize heads the list: wheat-free, and not grain-free

The score, in context

Chudleys Lamb Sensitive 48.8

All one Average. Typical dry food: Good.

It loses ground on a cereal-forward build and a modest declared meat share, none of which troubles the job it was bought for.
