Skinner's Field & Trial Light & Senior, 15kg

Skinner's Field & Trial Light & Senior is a 15 kg bag of complete dry dog food from Skinner's, the family mill in Suffolk, listed at £34.19. It takes fifth place in this guide. The listing describes it as formulated for dogs that need a less energy dense diet — typically older or less active dogs, or those prone to weight gain — with reduced protein and fat levels, glucosamine and chondroitin for joints, and an oval kibble shape it says helps with feelings of fullness.

The reason it lands at five is arithmetic. £34.19 divided by 15 kg is about £2.28/kg, which is below both Arden Grange at £3.71/kg and the £4.92/kg bag in this line-up — but it is still roughly 1.7 times Wagg's £1.33/kg for the same 15 kg size, and this bag costs £14.20 more than Wagg's 15 kg bag at £19.99. Its 1,258 ratings at 4.6 are the second-largest review base here, behind Arden Grange's 2,313. Two labelling points are worth knowing before you buy: the title says "Light & Senior" while the listing's own Age Range Description field says "All Life Stages", and the bullets describe an "oval shaped kibble" where the spec table lists the Item Form as "Pellet". The Occasion field also reads "Birthday", which has nothing to do with dog food.

Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing as published — price, rating, spec fields and review quotes — and not from any test of ours. We have not fed this food to a dog.
