JosiDog Adult Sensitive review
51.5/100Good
DryAdult
A sensitive-stomach kibble whose case rests on what it leaves out: eight entries, one animal family and no fish. Dried poultry protein leads, rice comes ahead of maize, fat is held to 13% and ground chicory root brings inulin for the gut. It sits in our Good band, and for a dog that objects to complicated food the plainness is the point.

Our view
Likely to suit
- Easily upset stomachs. Rice sits ahead of maize and fat stays at 13%
- Dogs kept off fish entirely, with no fish or shellfish on the list
- One animal family only: poultry throughout
- Owners who want to check the whole list at a glance
Worth watching
- Poultry names a family, so chicken, turkey, duck and goose all remain possible
- Carbohydrate at an estimated 49.5% of dry matter, above the 46.2% typical

The score, in context
- JosiDog Adult Sensitive 51.5
All one Good. Typical dry food: Good.
Squarely mainstream: the construction suits a sensitive gut, and the unnamed bird and missing percentages set the ceiling.
What's in it
- Dried poultry proteinAlready concentrated, so none of its weight leaves in the oven. The bird is not named.
- RiceAbout as gentle a starch as a kibble can be built on.
- Whole grain maize
- Poultry fatA light hand: 14.1% of dry matter.
- Beet fibreSomething for the large intestine to ferment.
- Hydrolysed poultry proteinA palatant for picky eaters, broken into small savoury fragments.
- Minerals
- Ground chicory rootInulin, the soluble fibre the useful gut bacteria live on.
Zinc at 160 mg per kilo as a glycine chelate, with the rest of the mineral and vitamin pack carrying doses.
No ingredient carries a percentage.
