Duck tends to be the protein people reach for once chicken has stopped working for a dog, which puts a lot of pressure on a "sensitive" recipe to actually deliver rather than just repeat the word on the bag.

Duck, deboned and dried, makes up a minimum of 43% of this recipe, alongside a minimum of 26% potato, with no grain in the ingredients. Further down the list, lamb gravy also appears — a small amount, but worth knowing about if duck is being tried specifically because another protein hasn't agreed with your dog.

• Duck (minimum 43%) and potato (minimum 26%)
• Protein 25%, oil 14%, fibre 3%, crude ash 9.5%
• Calcium 1.28%, phosphorus 0.82%
• Also contains lamb gravy further down the ingredient list
• Grain free
• Also suitable for juniors that cannot tolerate grain

On the small print. The recipe named for duck also lists lamb gravy in its ingredients — a minor inclusion, but if you're feeding this for a suspected duck-only sensitivity and lamb is also on your dog's avoid list, it's still worth checking the fuller ingredient order yourself.

Who it's for: adult dogs, and juniors intolerant to grain, needing a duck-led diet for sensitive skin or digestion, or a dog that struggles to maintain weight.
