Eukanuba Daily Care Sensitive Digestion review

Name: Eukanuba Daily Care Sensitive Digestion
Brand: Eukanuba

54.8/100Good

DryAdult

A chicken and turkey kibble from Eukanuba built around rice and a short, well chosen set of gut ingredients, in our Good band. Rice at 23% matches the dried poultry entry above it. Two prebiotics and a coated butyrate supplement do the specialist work, and there is no wheat or barley anywhere on the list.

Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs with an unsettled gut: rice carries the starch and microencapsulated sodium butyrate is aimed at the gut lining
Owners who want the digestive thinking spelled out, both prebiotics dosed in print
A dog that has never got on with wheat
Any size, toy to giant, on the feeding label
Teeth that gather tartar, with sodium hexametaphosphate declared at 0.38%

Worth watching

All the meat is chicken and turkey, no help if poultry turns out to be the trouble
Pork fat and fish meal put two more animals in the bowl
Estimated carbohydrate of 52.3% of dry matter, the trade for leaning on rice

The score, in context

Eukanuba Daily Care Sensitive Digestion 54.8

All one Good. Typical dry food: Good.

A digestion food that trades some protein density for gentleness, and the score sits level with the field for that reason.

What's in it

Dried chicken and turkey23%, chicken 16%Goes in dried, so it keeps its weight through cooking.
Rice23%The starch most often chosen for a sore gut.
Maize, sorghumSorghum is gluten free, which keeps the gluten load light.
Pork fatA named animal fat, and a second species in the bowl.
Fresh chicken4%Contributes less than a fresh meat entry sounds.
Dried beet pulp3.3%The fibre behind the prebiotics.
Chicken gravy, fish meal, linseedFish meal and linseed cover omega 3 between them.
Minerals (including sodium hexametaphosphate), dried whole egg0.38%The hexametaphosphate is for tartar.
Fructooligosaccharides, mannanoligosaccharides0.4%, 0.14%Two prebiotics, both dosed.
Microencapsulated sodium butyrate0.1%Fuel for the cells lining the large intestine, coated so it travels further before release.

Every trace mineral but selenium arrives as an amino acid chelate, each printed per kilo, alongside vitamins A, D3 and E, beta-carotene and L-carnitine.

Fish meal sits mid list, so the food is not fish free.
