68.1/100Good

DryAdultSenior

A trout-led senior kibble with no cereal, in our Good band alongside the typical adult dry food. Half the recipe is trout, split across three printed forms, and fat is kept gentle at 10%. For a dog that has slowed a step without going off its dinner, the quiet construction is the point.

Our view

Likely to suit

Older dogs that do better on a lighter fat level
Dogs off land meats altogether. Trout and salmon are the only animals named
Joint support in the bowl itself, with glucosamine and chondroitin on the list
An older dog and a grown one sharing a bag, since both are on the label
Dogs that get on better without grain

Worth watching

Salmon gravy and salmon oil further down, so this is a fish food, not a single-fish one
No dose printed for the glucosamine or chondroitin
Crude ash at 10%, on the fuller side, if your vet is watching your dog's minerals

The score, in context

Cooper & Co Senior 68.1

All one Good. Typical dry food: Good.

Nothing showy lifts it: half the label given to one named fish, less starch than dry food usually carries and a mineral panel that prints every dose it adds.

What's in it

Freshly prepared trout34%Part of a 50% trout share. Most of its water goes in the oven.
Trout meal12.5%Does more in the bowl than its position lets on.
Trout oil3.5%
Sweet potato, chickpeas, lentils, peasThe starch, plus fibre and some plant protein. They sit behind the fish, where you want them.
Beet pulpSteady fibre for firm stools.
Salmon gravy, salmon oilA second fish, so not single species.
Minerals, brewer's yeastB vitamins from the yeast.
Dried seaweedIodine and trace minerals.
Chondroitin sulphate, glucosamineNo figure printed, so position near the end is all a reader has.
Fructooligosaccharides, mannanoligosaccharidesPrebiotics.

Every trace mineral is dosed, zinc as a sulphate and the rest without a form named, with L-carnitine at 481 mg to help the body put fat to work.
