Clinivet Adult Junior review

Name: Clinivet Adult Junior
Brand: Clinivet

49.1/100Average

DryAdult

The bridging recipe in the Clinivet line, for dogs stepping up from puppy food. Poultry meal at 26% and brown rice at 22% lead, with 8% poultry fat lifting the energy, and the joint and prebiotic supplements are dosed in print. It sits in our Average band, a verdict about anonymous meat naming more than anything in the bowl.

Our view

Likely to suit

Young adults fresh off puppy food, the move the recipe is built for
Lean, leggy dogs still filling out. Fat runs at 17.4% of dry matter
Developing joints: glucosamine and MSM at 200 mg/kg each, chondroitin sulphate at 150 mg/kg
Owners who read the small print, as selenium comes as selenium yeast

Worth watching

Poultry meal, poultry fat and poultry digest, so the bird is never named and elimination feeding is out
Fishmeal and salmon oil on the list
No calcium figure, the one a large, still-growing dog's owner would most want

The score, in context

Clinivet Adult Junior 49.1

All one Average. Typical dry food: Good.

A young dog will find serviceable fuel here; the score sits where it does because every animal ingredient hides behind the word poultry.
