Full description

A dog carrying extra weight still needs to feel like it's had a proper meal, and swapping to a lower-fat recipe rather than simply feeding less of a standard one is Barking Heads' approach here.

It's 85% chicken — 60% fresh deboned chicken and 25% chicken broth — cooked with courgette, carrot, sweet potato, tomato, seaweed, lucerne, green lipped mussel extract, parsley, celery, chicory root, turmeric, aniseed and green tea, plus a mineral top-up.

One thing worth knowing. Barking Heads position this as a weight-management recipe, and at 6.5% fat it sits on the lower end of their wet range — but there's no calorie count printed on this card to confirm exactly how much lighter it is against a standard recipe, so portion by the feeding guide rather than by assumption.

Who it's for: owners managing a dog's weight who want one lower-fat recipe rather than simply feeding less of a standard one.

Why we chose it

Weight management is one of the more common reasons owners come looking for a specific food rather than whatever's cheapest, and this is a clearly labelled option for it. It's still 85% chicken, so it doesn't feel like a diet food to the dog eating it.
