Rank #8 in Best Senior Dog Food 2026: 10 Bags Ranked by Price per Kilo
Dr John Hypoallergenic Lamb & Rice, 12.5kg
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Dr John Hypoallergenic Lamb & Rice 12.5kg is a dry dog food for adult and senior dogs, ranked #8 in our best senior dog food guide. It costs £24.37, which works out at £1.95 per kilogram, and holds a 4.6-star rating from 758 reviews. The listing describes a wheat-free recipe with lamb and rice, 21% protein and 10.5% fat, plus yucca extract for joint support.
The finding for this product is the same mismatch seen elsewhere in the list: the title says 'Adult & Senior', but the spec table's own 'Age Range Description' field says 'Adult'. At £1.95/kg, it undercuts the mid-pack Arden Grange at £3.71/kg, though it is still above the cheapest Wagg at £1.33/kg. Everything on this page is taken from the product's Amazon listing and not from our own testing.
