WetAdultSenior

A senior tray written for an older dog without being watered down. Lamb is 70% of it, the only meat, and the list behind is short. Glucosamine and chondroitin are printed at the bottom with a dose each.

Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs beginning to stiffen, with glucosamine and chondroitin each at 100mg/kg
One-meat feeding: lamb is the sole animal beyond the salmon oil
An owner who likes a printed meat share
Adults as well as seniors, as the recipe feeds both
Dogs that need the moisture; three quarters of every tray is water

Worth watching

Brown rice at 6%, so there is grain
Salmon oil still puts fish in the tray
The joint pair is a maintenance dose, well short of what a vet prescribes for diagnosed arthritis

The score, in context

Symply Senior Feast Trays 79.0

All one Excellent. Typical wet food: Excellent.

The lamb share and the restraint of everything around it put this tray squarely among the better wet dinners.
