Cons and what to keep in mind
- Contains grains. Wheat and corn — not for dogs that react to them.
- Chicken only. Not suitable for a chicken allergy.

- 3 kg bag. A 20 kg dog will finish it in roughly 10–12 days.
How to feed
Check the daily amount in the table on the pack by your dog's weight and split it into 1–2 equal meals. Feed dry or softened with warm water. If your dog ate another food before, start with small portions mixed with the old food and gradually increase the share of Brit Premium. Fresh water always. How to tell the portion is right is covered in how much to feed a dog a day.
Grains in dog food: should you worry?
Grains aren't harmful for most dogs: oats, wheat and corn provide energy and fibre, and dogs digest cooked starch well. Grain-free food is for dogs with a confirmed reaction to specific grains, and there aren't many of them. If your dog does well on Brit Premium, with normal stools and coat, there's no point switching just because of grains. More in grain-free food: facts and myths.
How to tell the food suits your dog
After 3–4 weeks on the new food, look at your dog: firm stools without a strong smell, a shiny coat without dandruff, normal energy and stable weight mean the food suits. Itching, soft stools, vomiting or a dull coat are reasons to rethink the diet and talk to a vet. How to read the label is covered in how to read pet food ingredients.
Who it suits
Adult medium-breed dogs of 10–25 kg with normal activity and no chicken or grain allergy. Active and working dogs have Brit Premium Sport, and older dogs Brit Premium Senior S+M. Other foods are in dry dog food.
Verdict
Brit Premium Adult M is a straightforward everyday food with chicken, chondroprotectors and salmon oil for adult medium-breed dogs. Good value for money for a healthy dog without food allergies.
