DryAdultSenior

The brand's big-dog recipe eased off for age, with lower fat and three cereals, and it sits in our Good band. What does not come down is the joint dosing, as generous as anything in the range. That is the reason to pick up this bag.

Where to buy: coming soon

Our view

Likely to suit

Older large dogs whose joints have done a lot of miles
Keeping an ageing dog lean: fat at 14.7% of dry matter with L-carnitine alongside
Big dogs who have slowed down without losing their appetite
Dogs that have always eaten cereals happily
A senior with an unsettled gut, MOS and FOS both at 1000 mg/kg

Worth watching

Potato protein lifting the protein total from the plant side
The front of the list reads meatier than 13% chicken meal delivers
Chicken throughout and salmon oil at 2%, so neither chicken nor fish is avoidable

The score, in context

More Large Breed Senior 54.6

All one Good. Typical dry food: Good.

Nothing in particular drags the score down; a light meat share and a cereal-heavy plant side keep it in the middle of the shelf.

What's in it

Fresh chicken20.5%
Rice
Chicken meal13%The dried chicken that survives the oven, so the figure to hold on to.
Whole maize, oatsCarbohydrate lands at 46.1% of dry matter.
Beet pulpThe fibre, and most of the work on what you pick up on the walk.
Potato proteinTopping up, not standing in, though meat protein beats it on quality.
Chicken fat, salmon oil, chicken digest2% (salmon oil)Salmon oil and linseed cover the omega 3.
Brewer's yeast, dried egg, minerals, linseed
Glucosamine, chondroitin sulphate, MSM, L-carnitine1500 mg/kg each, L-carnitine 1200 mg/kgA proper helping for a big frame with years on it.
MOS, FOS, rosemary, yucca, marigold and citrus extracts1000 mg/kg down to 50 mg/kg

Vitamins A, D3 and E with trace minerals declared as whole compounds, which is why they read higher than a label listing the metals alone.
