57.3/100Good

WetAdultSenior

A senior take on the soft semi-moist format, in our Good band: less fat, more fibre and a joint pair on the label. Fresh chicken leads at 38% and dried sweet potato follows at 19%. Collagen hydrolysate at 1.3% adds the fragments cartilage is built from.

Our view

Likely to suit

Older dogs with tired teeth. Moisture at 18% keeps the pieces soft
A lighter diet, with fat declared at 10.5% and fibre lifted to 4.0%
Stiffening joints, with glucosamine and chondroitin each at 0.1%
Dry food convenience with a gentler texture, and no fridge needed
Older hearts. Taurine has its own dose on the panel

Worth watching

A dried poultry protein, a poultry hydrolysate and the collagen hydrolysate name no species
Fish oil high in the list
Sweet potato, potato and peas carry the starch, so this is not low carbohydrate

Against the range

One soft semi-moist recipe rebuilt for older dogs: fresh chicken first, dried sweet potato and potato behind it, and two kinds of fibre. Joint support, collagen and taurine all carry doses, and three poultry and collagen entries stop short of naming a species.
