⭐ 4.0 / 5

It’s a solid pick for older dogs still clockin’ up the steps—good fats, strong joints support, and plenty of fuel in the tank. A few fillers and sneaky plant proteins keep it from legend status, but for most senior pups, it’ll keep tails waggin’ and legs movin’. Just watch the scoop.

The Quick Bite

For old dogs who’ve still got a bit of bark in ’em, this one’s not half bad. With 30% protein and a beefy 14% fat, it’s built to keep the engine running and the joints from creakin’. Fish oil, flaxseed, glucosamine—it’s got the good gear for aging bones and bellies, and a tidy 4:1 omega ratio to help with the creaks and itches. But don’t jump the gun just yet—field peas and chickpeas are doing a bit too much heavy lifting, and tapioca and potato bulk it out like a dodgy shepherds pie. Still, for seniors who aren’t ready to hang up the lead, it’s a solid feed with a few quirks.

What It Gets Right

✔️ Strong protein (30%) from chicken meal
✔️ High fat content (14%)—great for maintaining body condition in aging dogs
✔️ Functional support with glucosamine, chondroitin, flaxseed, fish oil, and prebiotics
✔️ Balanced omega-6 to omega-3 ratio (4:1)
✔️ No artificial preservatives, colors, or sweeteners
✔️ Calorie level (372 kcal/100g) supports seniors with moderate activity

Where It Falls Short

❌ Chickpeas and field peas in the top 5 dilute meat protein quality
❌ Includes tapioca and potato—high-carb fillers
❌ “Poultry oil” and “natural flavouring” are vague, reducing ingredient transparency
❌ Calorically rich for seniors (372 kcal/100g) so portion control is a must
