Who is this food for?
Suits
- Labelled by the manufacturer for senior dogs
- Labelling or feeding guide is aimed at small dogs
- Doesn't list chicken, beef, lamb, venison, pork, duck as ingredients
Consider something else if:
- Your dog avoids turkey: the label lists turkey breast
- Your dog avoids fish: the label lists fish oil
- Your dog avoids grain: the label lists wheat germ
- You want a single-protein recipe: this one lists more than one animal protein
These points are derived from declared ingredients and analysis, not a substitute for veterinary advice. If your dog has a diagnosed condition, food choice is a medical nutrition decision: speak to your vet. Find foods that fit your dog.
