I get the Royal Canin Small Adult 8kg, but I'm looking to move to something with a consideration to joint health. A fish oil pill squirted on the kibble wasn't appreciated.
I was looking at that one and Ivory Coat. I'm looking for a small or softer, grain free biscuit with at least 65% meat. Vetalogica hits all those except for the softer bit. I think he's over the flavour though.
I really feel like kibble has got a lot harder. I saw a marked change. Maybe manufacturers are baking the pieces bone dry like pottery to overcompensate against the risk of mould
Late to this but if it's helpful - some pet foods contain green lipped mussels which are good for joint health, or you can buy dried ones for treats. That might be less controversial.
