Corn-heavy senior kibble with one real research idea
Signature feature
MCT-rich vegetable oil
Plus MCT-rich vegetable oil, for a formula that supports your senior dog's mental sharpness & healthy activity
What it is Vegetable oil Purina lists as a source of medium-chain triglycerides, ninth on the list, cooked into the kibble behind the chicken, rice, corn, soy and oats.
Our grade
- Marketing
- Modest
- Meaningful
MCTs turn into ketones an aging brain can burn, and Purina's own senior dog studies support the idea. Here the oil sits ninth in a 13% fat food, so expect a gentle nudge, not a fix.
Modest Real, but smaller than the pack makes it sound.
Three of the top seven ingredients are corn and soy protein concentrates, so plants supply a good share of the protein the chicken headline suggests.
- 3 corn protein meal
- 5 soybean meal
- 7 corn germ meal
- 19 Salt
