Taylors Adult & Senior Working Dog food
Taylors' Adult & Senior Working Dog range is built for active and working dogs across a wide span of their life, covering both adult and senior dogs under one line rather than splitting the two into separate products the way many brands do.
What we stock
We carry four recipes: a grain-free salmon and sweet potato formula, a chicken and brown rice recipe, a grain-free chicken formula, and a salmon and brown rice recipe where barley actually outweighs the rice in the finished mix, which is worth knowing if you're checking labels closely. All four come in 12kg sacks, sized for dogs eating through food at a working dog's pace.
Covering adult and senior dogs together suits an active dog who stays working or highly active well into their senior years, rather than needing an automatic switch to a lower-energy senior food at a fixed age.
Who it suits
This range suits working and genuinely active dogs first — it's less suited to a sedentary adult or senior dog with lower energy needs, who may do better on a lighter-calorie food instead. If your dog's activity drops significantly as they age, it's worth reviewing whether this range still matches their needs rather than continuing on habit.
As with any switch, introduce a new recipe gradually over a week or so, and speak to your vet if your dog has a specific health condition or dietary requirement before choosing a working-dog formula.

Common questions
- Is this food suitable for a senior dog who has slowed down?
- It's built for dogs who stay active into their senior years, so a dog who's slowed down significantly may do better on a lower-calorie senior food instead. Base the choice on your dog's actual activity level rather than age alone, and ask your vet if you're unsure.
- What's the difference between the grain-free and standard recipes?
- The grain-free recipes replace cereal with alternatives like sweet potato, while the standard recipes use chicken and brown rice or a barley-forward salmon and rice mix. Neither is automatically better — it comes down to what suits your dog, including any known sensitivities.
- How much should I feed a working dog on this range?
- Feeding amounts depend on your dog's weight, activity level and the specific recipe, so follow the guidance on the pack as your starting point and adjust based on your dog's body condition over time rather than a fixed amount.
- Do you stock the full Taylors range?
- We carry these four recipes from the Adult & Senior Working Dog line rather than Taylors' entire catalogue. What's shown here is what we currently have available to order.
- Are any of these recipes suitable for a dog with a sensitive stomach?
- None of the four are marketed specifically as sensitive-stomach recipes, so if your dog has a known sensitivity, it's worth checking the full ingredient list against what they've reacted to before, or asking your vet before switching. Introduce any new food gradually regardless.
- How big is the 12kg sack, and how long does it last?
- That depends entirely on your dog's size and how much they eat daily, since a working dog on a physically demanding routine will get through a 12kg sack faster than a smaller or less active dog. Use the feeding guidance on the pack to estimate roughly how far a sack will go for your dog specifically.
