67.6/100Good

DryAdultSenior

Flavour

A gentler recipe for dogs slowing down or carrying a little extra, sold as trout and salmon or as turkey. Calories come down through fat, not meat: half of each bag is the named animal and fat stays in single figures. Both land in our Good band.

Our view

Likely to suit

Older dogs easing off the exercise, fat at 7.5% and 8%
Weight plans, with L-carnitine printed on both labels
Stiffening joints: glucosamine and MSM at 170 mg/kg each, chondroitin sulphate at 125 mg/kg
Grain-free homes; sweet potato, potato and peas carry the starch

Worth watching

Starch does a lot of the work, above the 46.2% typical in both
Pea and potato protein in the fish bag
An undescribed omega 3 supplement in the turkey bag

The score, in context

Turkey 67.6
Seven Grain Free Senior/Light 62.3

All two Good. Typical dry food: Good.

For a light diet that is a fair result, earned by the meat share, the printed joint pack and a figure against almost everything.

Protein: 27.5%; 25.5% on the fish
Energy: 338 kcal per 100g; 343 on the fish
Plant protein: None listed; Pea and potato protein on the fish

The stronger of the two on our scoring, with one animal and more protein.

Both bags put 50% of the recipe into their named animal and print the split, a fresh share of 27% to 30% with a dried share behind it. Fat is held in single figures, and sweet potato, potato and peas carry the starch, with beet pulp for fibre. Both print the same joint pack, FOS and MOS, L-carnitine and linseed. Carbohydrate is where they differ most: 52.6% of dry matter on the fish, 48.4% on the turkey.
