41/100Average

DryAdult

A weight-control kibble whose analysis backs up its name, landing in our Average band. Fat is 9.0% and energy 330 kcal per 100g, under the 357 typical of adult dry food, so a full-looking bowl carries less. Chicken is declared at 15%, and beet pulp gives a controlled portion some staying power.

Our view

Likely to suit

A dog that gains weight easily
Neutered dogs whose appetite outlasts their energy needs
Dogs that campaign for food between meals. Beet pulp at 3.5% gives a smaller portion more presence
A home with a small dog and a big one, on one feeding table from toy to giant

Worth watching

Wheat second on the list and corn close behind, so go carefully with a cereal-sensitive dog
Poultry protein and animal fats with no animal named, hard to run an exclusion trial against
Fish oil in the recipe

The score, in context

Pro Plan All Size Adult Light / Sterilised OptiWeight 41.0

All one Average. Typical dry food: Good.

The score reflects how the protein is assembled, from dried and plant concentrates, and nothing in it is a warning about the bowl.

What's in it

High quality chicken, including back and chest15%Frame meat, weighed fresh, so much of it is water the oven takes back out.
WheatMost dogs eat it happily; a minority react.
Dried poultry proteinNo bird named.
Corn, rice, corn gritsRice 9%The rest of the starch.
Dried beet pulpThe fibre that lets a reduced portion still feel like dinner.
Soya meal, corn protein meal, wheat glutenLift the protein figure without bringing any meat.
DigestA palatant sprayed on the kibble, species unsaid.
Minerals
Fish oil, animal fatsFish oil is the omega source. The fats name no animal.

Every vitamin and mineral dosed, including zinc at 130 mg and vitamin E at 550 IU, as sulphates and sodium selenite, the everyday forms.

Several animal entries name no species, so this is a hard label for a strict exclusion trial.

Named ingredients
