Fish4Dogs Superior Senior Complete review

Name: Fish4Dogs Superior Senior Complete
Brand: Fish4Dogs

51.5/100Good

DryAdultSenior

The brand's fish recipe, lightened on purpose for older dogs: salmon still leads at 26%, but declared fat drops to 7.0%. Few kibbles led by a named fish run this lean. It sits in our Good band.

Our view

Likely to suit

Seniors whose vet has mentioned their waistline
Older dogs who have eaten fish all their lives
A gentler fat load with the named meat still at the top
A senior and a settled adult sharing one bag

Worth watching

Protein at 23.9% of dry matter, modest for an older dog that needs to hold muscle
A lean or still busy senior may need bigger bowls than you expect at 340 kcal per 100 grams

The score, in context

Fish4Dogs Superior Senior Complete 51.5

All one Good. Typical dry food: Good.

A named fish up front and printed percentages lift it; the carbohydrate left behind when the fat came out is the drag.
