Our view

Likely to suit

Steady adults whose weight creeps up on richer food, at 347 kcal per 100 grams
A waistline to watch, with the bowl still grain free
Dogs that do better on more fibre
Older dogs easing off: glucosamine at 350mg/kg and chondroitin sulphate at 200mg/kg
Owners who like the extras named and dosed

Worth watching

Up to 5% of the poultry meal is unnamed, too loose for a true elimination trial
Pea protein adds plant protein alongside the meat
Carbohydrate at 47.9% of dry matter, a little over the adult typical, with dried egg on the list

The score, in context

Skinners Get Out and Go Adult Lower Energy 48.2

All one Average. Typical dry food: Good.

Meat still leads and everything is dosed in print; the carbohydrate that fills the space left by the fat is what holds the score down.
