Who is this food for?
Suits
- Labelled by the manufacturer for senior dogs
- Single named protein: fish
- Doesn't list chicken, beef, turkey, lamb, venison, pork, duck as ingredients
Consider something else if:
- Your dog avoids grain: the label lists rice flour
- You need more protein than this: 14.2% on a dry-matter basis is in the low band
