Name: Royal Canin Medium Ageing Chunks In Gravy
Brand: Royal Canin

40.6/100Average

WetAdultSenior

The later-life version of Royal Canin's medium pouch, and its argument is the antioxidant panel: vitamin E at 145 mg per kilo and vitamin C at 70 mg. The analysis is sound, with carbohydrate estimated at 17.8% of dry matter. It sits in our Average band because the list names almost nothing.

Our view

Likely to suit

Medium dogs moving into old age
Appetites that need coaxing. The chunks come in plenty of gravy
Keeping condition on, with fat at 28.1% of dry matter
Owners who like a visible antioxidant panel
Seniors drinking less than they should: moisture is 80.4%
A single dog, with the serving measured at 140 g

Worth watching

No animal or grain named, so it cannot anchor an exclusion trial
Vegetable protein extracts sit fourth, so some of the protein is plant
Nothing beyond the vitamins targets a named complaint of old age

The score, in context

Royal Canin Medium Ageing Chunks In Gravy 40.6

All one Average. Typical wet food: Excellent.

The verifiable figures read well; the band reflects a label written in category terms, and says nothing against the food.

What's in it

Meat and animal derivativesA legal heading; the material can change between batches while the print stays the same.
CerealsUnnamed.
Oils and fatsHigh on the list, and it shows in the fat figure. Richness suits a fading appetite.
Vegetable protein extractsLifts the protein with plant material from unnamed plants. Matters if soya or wheat is off the menu.
Derivatives of vegetable origin
Minerals
YeastsB vitamins, prebiotic fibres and a savoury edge.

Vitamin E at 145 mg and vitamin C at 70 mg per kilo, the antioxidants older dogs are commonly given more of, with vitamin D3, five trace minerals and clinoptilolite as a binding aid.

Named ingredients

Meat and animal derivatives, cereals, oils and fats, vegetable protein extracts, derivatives of vegetable origin, minerals, yeasts.

Against the range

One later-life pouch for medium dogs, 140 g at a time. The list runs to seven entries, almost all legal category headings, so no animal or grain is named. The ageing case sits in the vitamin panel, where vitamin E and vitamin C are both dosed.
