Macro Breakdown

Protein 24%
Nice protein level for older large breeds — enough to maintain muscle without stressing the kidneys.
Fat 13%
Lower fat keeps the weight off, but still enough to support joint health and energy as things slow down.
Carbs High Load
Grain-heavy with rice, sorghum, and rice flour high on the list — not ideal for slower metabolisms.
Calories 355 kcal/100g
Okay for older dogs who still move, but could be lower for those who don’t need loads of fuel.

What Stands Out

Chicken Meal High-quality meat meal — provides concentrated animal protein. Rice Easily digestible carb, but adds bulk without much extra nutrition. Sorghum Grain filler. Harder to digest and adds more bulk than nutrition. Rice Flour Processed version of rice used for texture — minimal nutritional benefit. Natural Flavour (Chicken) Vague term — usually means a processed animal digest for flavour. Dried Beet Pulp Fibre source. Helps regulate stool, good in moderation.

Functional Boosters

Green Lipped Mussel Powder Natural source of omega-3s and joint support nutrients. Inulin Prebiotic fibre that helps support healthy digestion and gut flora. Glucosamine & Chondroitin Key joint supplements — important for senior dog support. Taurine Important amino acid that helps with heart, eyes, and overall health. Fish Oil Rich in EPA & DHA — helps ease inflammation and support mobility in older dogs.

Ingredient Quality Breakdown

Ingredient Quality Score 7.2 / 10
Protein Quality ⭐ 2.2 / 2.5
Great base with chicken and turkey meals. No plant proteins — just clean, named animal sources.
Fat Quality ⭐ 1.5 / 1.5
Uses a mix of chicken fat and sunflower oil. No generic fats or nasties.
Transparency ⭐ 1.5 / 2.0
Mostly clear labelling. Only vague bit is ‘natural flavour’.
Carb Quality ⭐ 0.5 / 1.0
Neutral carbs like rice and sorghum make up most of the base — okay but not high-value.
Carb Load ⭐ 0.0 / 1.0
Three filler carbs in the top 5 — high-carb formula that could be lighter for seniors."
Functional ⭐ 0.5 / 1.0
Good joint and gut support mix — but not enough to max the score.
Safety ⭐ 1.0 / 1.0
No artificial preservatives, colours, or dodgy additives.

Our Take

A fair dinkum option for greying gentle giants — meaty, balanced, and geared for healthy ageing (literally). But the macros could be sharper: carbs lean heavy on rice and sorghum rather than whole foods, and the calories could sit a touch lower for a true senior formula.
