Different Dog Health+ Low Purine & Phosphorus review

Name: Different Dog Health+ Low Purine & Phosphorus
Brand: Different Dog

88.1/100Outstanding

FreshAdult

Gently cooked and built on two of the lighter animals, turkey thigh at 40% and white fish at 20%, it sits in our Outstanding band. The animals are chosen from the low end of the purine scale, which is what the name is getting at. Almost no carbohydrate makes it into the pot.

Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs kept off red meat and organ
Owners who want a percentage on nearly every line, from cabbage at 12% to green tea at 0.3%
Fussy eaters who walk away from biscuit. A cooked pot smells like a meal
Adult dogs of any size
Homes with fridge or freezer room

Worth watching

White fish at 20% behind the turkey, so not turkey alone for an exclusion plan
Trace minerals as chelates of protein hydrolysates, a loose end on a tight elimination trial
No phosphorus figure printed, despite the name

The score, in context

Different Dog Health+ Low Purine & Phosphorus 88.1

All one Outstanding. Typical fresh food: Outstanding.

Every pillar comes back Outstanding, so no single flattering figure is carrying this pot to a place a little above the middle of a strong field.
