48.7/100Average

DryAdult

A fish-forward kibble for dogs whose joints have started setting the pace, and it lands in our Average band. The joint case rests on fish oil and dried salmon protein, with vitamin E at a generous 940 IU per kilo to protect those oils. Rice leads the list, though, and no glucosamine or chondroitin dose is printed.

Our view

Likely to suit

Older or stiffening adults, with omega 3 from fish oil and salmon
A dog that gets on with fish
Keeping a less mobile dog trim: fat at 12.0%, with pea hulls and cellulose adding bulk
Fussy older eaters. Digest is there to make the bowl worth getting up for
Almost any size; the feeding table runs from 2.5kg to 70kg

Worth watching

No glucosamine or chondroitin figure, so the readable joint support is the fish oil
Rice, wheat flour and corn, for a cereal-sensitive dog
Pork fat, dried poultry protein and dried egg, so this is not a fish-only recipe

The score, in context

Pro Plan JM Joint Mobility Dry 48.7

All one Average. Typical dry food: Good.

Rice at the head of the list shapes the reading, with half-named proteins and soya doing protein duty behind it, though protein in dry matter is a respectable showing.

What's in it

RiceA gentle, well-tolerated carbohydrate, and the base of the recipe.
Dried salmon proteinConcentrated, so the protein it supports is real.
Dried poultry proteinPoultry, not named to species.
Wheat flour, soya protein powder, cornBinding and a protein lift; none of them does the headline job.
Dried egg
DigestFor palatability.
Fish oilThe long-chain omega 3 the joint case rests on.
Pea hulls, celluloseFibre that fills without adding energy.
Pork fatNamed for what it is.
Minerals

Vitamin E at 940 IU and vitamin C at 140 mg per kilo, with the trace minerals dosed line by line and selenium as sodium selenite, the less well absorbed form.

No glucosamine or chondroitin dose is declared. The joint support is through the fats.
