Simpsons Premium Adult Sensitive: Chicken & Potato review

Name: Simpsons Premium Adult Sensitive: Chicken & Potato
Brand: Simpsons

62/100Good

DryAdult

Flavour

A grain-free range that answers a sensitive stomach by shortening the list. One animal leads each of the four bags, potato sits underneath, and all four land in our Good band. Beet pulp and a pair of prebiotics do the settling work.

Our view

Likely to suit

A dog whose digestion prefers no cereal at all
Owners chasing a settled gut: beet pulp, brewers yeast, MOS and FOS are all in the mix
A dog that has stopped thriving on chicken and rice, with duck, lamb and salmon alongside
Rotation feeders. The four share one construction
Older dogs, with glucosamine, MSM and chondroitin in every bag

Worth watching

Salmon oil in every recipe, so none is fish free
Lamb gravy in the duck recipe rules out a duck-only trial
Dried egg in all four, if egg is the ingredient you are avoiding

The details

Dog fit

Listed for adults of every size, with the salmon also listed for seniors. The label asks 195 to 295 grams for dogs of 15kg to 25kg, and the waistline settles anything in between.

The score, in context

Chicken 62.0
Lamb 60.7
Salmon 53.6
Duck 53.5

All four Good. Typical dry food: Good.

The gaps between the four are small, and a working starch share and an unquantified vitamin line are what hold the range at Good.

Named ingredients

Chicken (min 45% -Dried Chicken, Deboned Chicken, Chicken Fat), Potato (min 26%), Beet Pulp, Brewers Yeast, Chicken Gravy, Dried Egg, Salmon Oil, Minerals, Linseeds, Vitamins, Yucca Extract, Cranberries, Nucleotides, Mannanoligosaccharides (MOS), ructooligosaccharides (FOS), Glucosamine, MSM, Chondroitin. Naturally preserved with mixed tocopherols.

Against the range

Meat: Chicken, min 45%, with chicken gravy; Duck min 43%; lamb and salmon min 45%.
Ash, dry matter: 8.7%; 12% on the lamb.

The mildest way into the range and the natural first pick, unless chicken is the problem.

Each bag names one animal first with a minimum share, and a bracket shows how it is built; on the chicken, lamb and duck the animal fat sits inside that figure. Potato binds every recipe and no cereal appears anywhere. Beet pulp, brewers yeast, MOS, FOS and nucleotides do the digestive work, and salmon oil with linseeds supplies the omegas.

Protein converts to 27.2% of dry matter across the range, with estimated carbohydrate between 41.8% and 45.6%. Vitamins and minerals are two bare line items with no amounts. Glucosamine, MSM and chondroitin are in every bag.
