Our view

Likely to suit

Medium dogs with unsettled digestion, the brief it is written to
Dogs that have not got on with chicken as a headline meat
Fibre you can see on the label: dried beet pulp at 5%
A wheat-free bowl, rice being the gentlest of the common cereals on a loose gut
A dog whose stomach objects to rich food, fat held at 16.0%

Worth watching

Dried poultry protein third, so this is not a single meat recipe
Fish oil and dried egg both on the list
Animal fats and digest that name no species, a limit during an exclusion trial

The score, in context

Pro Plan Medium Adult Sensitive Digestion OptiDigest 42.3

All one Average. Typical dry food: Good.

The lamb headline is the best thing here; the unnamed poultry, fats and digest behind it are what hold the reading down.

What's in it

Lamb, including lungs and liver19%Fresh weight, with the parts named. Much of it does not survive the oven.
Rice18%The gentlest common cereal on an unsettled gut.
Dried poultry proteinSays no bird, which matters to an owner avoiding chicken.
Corn, corn grits, corn protein mealCorn three times over.
Animal fatsNo species.
Dried beet pulp5%Moderately fermenting fibre that firms a loose stool.
DigestThe palatant, also unnamed.
Soya mealPlant protein in the panel.
Dried egg, minerals, fish oil

Dosed line by line, from zinc at 140 mg and copper at 16 mg per kilo to vitamin E at 550 IU, with tocopherol extracts keeping the fats fresh.
