Only dog food suitable for seniors received the grade “good” (Rurina, Beneful Happy Years 7+ with chicken, 3.70 euros per 3 kilos). Six times there was only “sufficient” and one failed completely. The reasons given by the testers: too few amino acids and other nutrients such as potassium, scarce protein, incorrectly recommended amounts of food, questionable health claims.
The food test winners for dogs in their prime were: K-Classic croquettes with lamb & rice from Kaufland (8 euros for 10 kilos), Romeo premium complete poultry feed from Aldi Süd (2.99 euros for 2 kilos), Real Nature Country Selection Alpine Adult from Fressnapf (25 euros for 10 kilos), Lucky Dog vital food with fresh poultry from Penny (2.99 euros for 3 kilos) and Ja strong chunks with 25% fresh poultry from Rewe (2.99 for 3 Kilo).
