Lakes Collection Lakes Legacy High Protein Senior: Scottish Salmon review

Name: Lakes Collection Lakes Legacy High Protein Senior: Scottish Salmon
Brand: Lakes Collection

75.1/100Excellent

DryAdultSenior

A senior kibble that keeps the line's 65% meat and adjusts the rest for age. Every animal entry is Scottish salmon, protein converts to 38.0% of dry matter and fat is trimmed to 11%, so an older dog gets the amino acids without the extra energy. The joint pack is printed as its own line with three figures, which is far more use than a paw print on the front.

Our view

Likely to suit

Older dogs that still eat best from a meat-led bowl, salmon at 65%
Stiffening joints: glucosamine and methylsulfonylmethane at 178 mg/kg, chondroitin sulphate at 125 mg/kg
An ageing waistline, fat at 11% and energy at 352 kcal per 100g
Dogs kept off cereal; sweet potato and beans do the starch work
Marine omega 3 straight from salmon oil

Worth watching

No animal but salmon, one for a fish-free household to note
The 65% includes 3% salmon oil and 2.5% salmon gravy
Beans with no variety named, the one vague line
