An older dog's calorie needs tend to drop before its appetite does, which is one reason a senior food is worth being a genuinely different recipe rather than the adult version with a different label. This case gives a senior dog two recipes rather than one, so the same box covers a dog that has gone off one flavour without a shop trip in between.

It is a 12-tray case split between lamb with butternut squash and vegetables, and turkey with butternut squash and vegetables. Both are grain-free and built on real meat rather than meat derivatives, with glucosamine and chondroitin included at 100mg/kg in the turkey recipe for joint support.

• 12-tray case, two recipes: lamb, and turkey with butternut squash and vegetables
• Lamb recipe: crude protein 8.5%, crude fat 6.5%, moisture 78%
• Turkey recipe: crude protein 9%, crude fat 6%, moisture 75%
• Omega 3 at 0.25% in both recipes
• Grain-free
• Each tray is 395G

On the two recipes. The lamb and turkey trays are not identical: the turkey recipe runs slightly higher in protein and ash, and slightly lower in moisture, than the lamb. Forthglade do not publish which tray goes to which dog in the case, so expect a genuine mix rather than a fixed split.

Who it's for: senior dogs whose appetite is holding up better than their energy needs, and owners who want variety built into the case rather than buying two separate boxes.
