One thing worth knowing

This is deliberately a lower protein and fat feed than Dr John's more active-dog formulas — it's designed to provide lower levels of protein, fat and energy specifically for dogs that are less active, so it isn't the right choice if your dog is still working at a high level.

Why we chose it

It's specifically formulated for a lower-activity working dog rather than being a general "senior" food with no real distinction, and the toasted-flake, chicken-juice-basted format is a genuine texture point of difference rather than just marketing language. The weight-banded feeding guide takes the guesswork out of a 15kg bag.

Full description

Not every working dog needs a high-protein feed — a dog that's ageing or doing lighter work can do better on a food pitched below the top-end racing formulas, which is the gap this recipe is built for.

Dr John Flake Chicken is made from wheat, maize, poultry meal (11% chicken), chicken fat, chicken gravy, minerals, linseed, yeast and yucca extract. Analysis gives 18% crude protein, 7% crude oils and fats, 3.5% crude fibre and 5% crude ash. It's described as a complete recipe for less active adult and senior working dogs, with crunchy bite-sized pieces of toasted corn flake basted in chicken juices.

One thing worth knowing. This is deliberately a lower protein and fat feed than Dr John's more active-dog formulas — it's designed to provide lower levels of protein, fat and energy specifically for dogs that are less active, so it isn't the right choice if your dog is still working at a high level.

Who it's for: owners of adult or senior working dogs whose activity level has dropped, and who need a feed pitched below a full racing or high-performance formula.
