Bakers 7+ Senior Dog Superfood Chicken with Vegetables

Senior food is one of those categories where the label does more work than the recipe, so it is worth reading what is actually in the bag. This is a complete food for dogs aged 7 and over, built on wholegrains at 55% of the composition with meat and animal derivatives behind them, of which 4% is chicken.

Bakers make it as a mix of textures — meaty chunks alongside kibble — which is the thing that tends to keep an older dog interested when their appetite starts to wander. There is dried beet pulp at 2.9%, spirulina at 0.2%, and dried pea and carrot at 0.3% each. The analysis gives protein 24%, fat 8%, crude ash 7% and crude fibre 3%, with omega-3 at 0.12% and omega-6 at 2%. There is a feeding guide on the bag worked out by dog weight.

• Complete food for dogs aged 7 and over, 12.5KG
• Wholegrains 55% of the composition
• Meat and animal derivatives, of which 4% chicken
• Protein 24%, fat 8%, crude ash 7%, crude fibre 3%
• Omega-3 0.12%, omega-6 2%
• A mix of meaty chunks and kibble

Read the composition rather than the front of the bag. Wholegrains lead this at 55% and the named chicken is 4%, so it is a cereal-led food — which is exactly why it costs what it costs, and is a perfectly reasonable thing to feed, but it is not what the words superfood and chunks imply on the front. If your dog has a grain sensitivity this is the wrong bag entirely. The captured data for this product also carries two different compositions from two sources, so treat the figures above — which come from the ingredients panel itself — as the ones to check against the sack in front of you.

Who it's for: owners of a dog past seven feeding on a budget, particularly one who has gone fussy and eats better with a mix of textures in the bowl.
