Winner Senior Lite review

Name: Winner Senior Lite
Brand: Winner

52.5/100Good

DryAdultSenior

A maize-led kibble built light, with fat held to 7.5% for older dogs and dogs carrying a little extra. Dehydrated chicken and beef sit behind the cereal. Added L-Lysine at 800 mg per kilo is a thoughtful touch where so much protein comes from plants. It sits in our Good band.

Our view

Likely to suit

Older dogs slowing down while still eating keenly
A dog a little heavier than it ought to be
Owners who want to put down a full bowl, with the fat kept low
Homes with an adult and an older dog, since one bag covers both

Worth watching

Protein modest at 19.0%, worth knowing when you are trying to hold an older dog's muscle
Chicken, beef and an unnamed poultry fat, so no single meat can be ruled out

The score, in context

Winner Senior Lite 52.5

All one Good. Typical dry food: Good.

Carbohydrate does most of the carrying and neither meat is quantified, yet it still does the job it sets out to do.

Dehydrated chicken, dehydrated beefDried before weighing, so honest entries, though with no percentage given.

Beet pulp
Minerals
Chicken digest, yeast extractFlavour for a lower-fat kibble, useful for a fading appetite.
