DryAdultSenior

A meat-free kibble for older dogs, in our Average band. Whole potato heads the list, and the analysis is gentle at 26.0% protein and 7.5% fat. Methionine at 2,500 mg per kilo, with taurine and L-carnitine dosed beside it, does the work a plant recipe has to do on purpose.

Our view

Likely to suit

Older dogs in plant-based households
Seniors who do better on a lighter bowl
The meat-free essentials dosed on the bag
A digestion grown fussier with age, with prebiotic FOS and dried yeasts in support
Giant breeds as readily as small ones: the feeding table carries on past 80kg

Worth watching

Soya in the recipe, one of the plant proteins sensitive dogs react to most
Brown rice and oats, so grain is in the bowl
No ash or moisture declared, so dry-matter comparisons cannot be worked out
Modest protein for a senior. Watch muscle and condition through the switch

The score, in context

Omni Senior 37.7

All one Average. Typical dry food: Good.

It collects nothing on animal protein by design and loses credit for an incomplete panel, none of which changes what it was built to do for a meat-free household.

What's in it

PotatoA whole ingredient, bringing starch and not protein.
Pea starch
Potato proteinA refined plant fraction; a dog takes less from it than from meat.
Brown rice, oats
Hi-Pro soya, dried yeasts, pea proteinSoya is the entry to watch on a sensitive dog.
Peas, lentils, carrot
Minerals
Hydrolysed vegetablesNames no vegetable. There for flavour, and the one line a careful reader cannot pin down.
Rapeseed oil, sunflower oil, micro algaeThe algae is the marine omega 3, where fish get theirs.
Blueberries, prebiotic FOS, cranberries, pumpkin

Methionine at 2,500 mg per kilo because plant proteins run short of it, with taurine and L-carnitine for an older heart and metabolism.

Ash and moisture are not declared, so protein, fat and fibre can only be read as fed.

Named ingredients

Against the range

One plant-based senior kibble with nothing on the list taken from an animal. Whole potato and pea starch lead, and potato protein, soya, pea protein and yeasts supply the protein. Brown rice and oats put grain in the bowl. Micro algae is the omega 3 source, and the panel leaves out ash and moisture.
