Nutriment Complete Senior review

Name: Nutriment Complete Senior
Brand: Nutriment

74.9/100Excellent

RawAdultSenior

Chicken and bone at 60%, then a full fifth of the recipe handed to vegetables and superfoods, glucosamine among them. It makes a lighter, wetter bowl than a working adult's, a sensible shape for a dog with more mileage and less muscle. Our Excellent band takes it.

Our view

Likely to suit

Older dogs eating less, as protein and fat are modest by raw standards
Owners hoping to skip a separate joint tub, though the glucosamine is undosed
A dog long settled on chicken
Nutriment households, where an ageing dog can move across without changing routine

Worth watching

Beef organs beside the chicken, so neither animal can be avoided
Salmon oil and wheatgerm oil in a pack marked grain free

The score, in context

Nutriment Complete Senior 74.9

All one Excellent. Typical raw food: Outstanding.

A shelf below the middle of adult raw, which is the hardest field we score, and the gap is mostly what the label leaves unprinted.

What's in it

Chicken with bone60%Digestible and gentle on an older gut. The bone carries the calcium, as no mineral panel is printed.
Beef green tripe10%Uncleaned and unbleached, rated for digestion and appetite.
Beef heart5%Muscle meat in all but name.
Beef liver, beef kidney3%, 2%Trace minerals and B vitamins vegetables cannot supply.
Carrot, butternut squash, broccoli, kaleInside the 20% vegetable share; more fibre, less energy per mouthful.
Sesame, chia and sunflower seeds
Salmon oil, wheatgerm oilOmega 3 for joints and coat. Fish is in, and wheatgerm oil is pressed from wheat.
Chicory powder, blueberry powder, spirulinaChicory brings inulin for the gut's good bacteria.
GlucosamineNo dose printed. A welcome extra, not the reason to choose it.

Carbohydrate is an estimated 10.0% of dry matter against a 5.0% raw median, the vegetable share showing.

Against the range

One recipe at 80% meat, offal and bone and 20% vegetables and superfoods, with no grain or filler. The heavier vegetable share is what separates it from Nutriment's adult recipes.
