Within Adult & Senior Dry Chicken review

48.7/100Average

DryAdultSenior

An Average chicken and oat kibble written for adults and older dogs alike, whose real interest is the small print. Prebiotics, a postbiotic yeast, a live gut culture and a printed joint trio sit at the tail, and the trace minerals are chelated with organic selenium.

Our view

Likely to suit

An adult and an older dog sharing one bag
Stiffening older dogs: glucosamine and MSM at 0.034% each, chondroitin at 0.024%
Unsettled digestion, given the prebiotic, postbiotic and live culture
Owners who like a figure against nearly everything
Dogs that do better on fibre, at 4.9% of dry matter

Worth watching

Poultry oil with no bird named, and salmon oil, so it is not fish free
Potato protein at 10% and pea protein at 3.2% filling out the protein line
Whole oats at 25%, so a grain-inclusive food
