80.4/100Outstanding

RawAdultSenior

Flavour

Raw patties for older dogs, and both recipes sit in our Outstanding band. The meat share comes down to 75%, offal kept in, and turmeric and green-lipped mussel join the tail. One leads on chicken with beef organs behind, the other on venison with turkey carrying the bone.

Where to buy: coming soon

Live retailer links are coming soon. Once we have them from UK retailers, where to buy and the best price will appear here.

Our view

Likely to suit

Older dogs who still eat well, with the organ meats kept in
Joints being watched: green-lipped mussel and turmeric are both on the list
Rotating a senior between poultry and game
Seniors of any build, with a guide from toy breeds up to giants
Dogs finding dry food hard work late in life. A thawed patty asks little of the teeth

Worth watching

Salmon oil and green-lipped mussel in both, so neither is fish or shellfish free
Beef organs in both, the venison included
Frozen storage and a fridge thaw, as with any raw food

The details

Dog fit

Listed for adults and seniors of every size. Both start at about 375 grams a day for a 15kg dog; the venison is lighter, so its portion runs larger in practice.

The score, in context

Luna & Me Superblends Senior's Club 88.3
With Venison 80.4

All two Outstanding. Typical raw food: Outstanding.

Both hold the standard of a very strong category, the chicken a shade ahead, and your dog's preference is the better guide between them.

What's in it

Venison steak35%A meat most older dogs will never have tried.
Beef heart, beef liverBeef again, on the recipe named for venison.
Turkey breast, thigh, boneTurkey carries the bone; calcium comes to 1.46% of dry matter.
Carrot, butternut squash, apple, kale, spinachA little more of the bowl than in the brand's adult recipes.
Wheatgrass, chia seeds, wheat germ oil, coconut oil, nutritional yeast, bilberry
Turmeric, green-lipped musselThe additions aimed at age. No percentage printed, so a gentle lean, not a measured dose.
Salmon oil, chicory root, spirulina, kelpSalmon oil and the mussel mean neither recipe is fish or shellfish free.

No additives panel is published; the brand states no supplements are needed in this range.

Against the range

Meat: Venison 35%, beef organs, turkey; Chicken 50% with beef organs.
Fibre, dry matter: 4.6%; 2.9% on the chicken.
Protein, dry matter: 46.8%; 43.6% on the chicken.
Energy: 148 kcal per 100g; 167 on the chicken.

The lighter recipe, with more fibre, which tends to suit an older gut.

Both recipes hold meat to 75%, a step down on the brand's adult raw, with offal and ground bone counted inside that figure. Beef supplies the organ meats in both, whichever animal fronts the pack. Vegetables, fruit and a longer superfood tail take the room, and turmeric and green-lipped mussel join it for older joints. No additives panel is published for either.
