Sainsbury's Nature's Goodness Sensitive Dry review

Name: Sainsbury's Nature's Goodness Sensitive Dry
Brand: Sainsbury's

68.4/100Good

DryAdult

A Sensitive food that keeps to one animal, which is rarer on a supermarket shelf than the name suggests. Salmon supplies every animal ingredient, the gravy is vegetable, and the prebiotic dose is printed. It sits in our Good band.

Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs that react to the common meats, since salmon is the only animal
Grain-free feeding, with sweet potato and potato carrying the starch
Owners who want digestive support spelled out, beet pulp plus a dosed prebiotic
Adults of any build, from toys to giants

Worth watching

Salmon and salmon oil throughout, so not for a dog kept off fish
Only a 2kg bag, which a large dog will empty quickly
Grain free here does not mean low carbohydrate

The score, in context

Sainsbury's Nature's Goodness Sensitive Dry 68.4

All one Good. Typical dry food: Good.

A modest recipe that is straight about what it contains, which for a sensitivity food counts for more than a richer list.
