Forthglade Senior Turkey & Veg vs Scrumbles Turkey Wet

Pros

• ✓Named turkey as the single 60% protein source, no by-products or meat meal, with exact percentages declared
• ✓Several owners report it settled sensitive stomachs and produced firmer, more consistent stools
• ✓Strong palatability feedback — fussy and previously off-their-food dogs reportedly ate it eagerly
• ✓Joint and cognition extras genuinely relevant to seniors: glucosamine, chondroitin, salmon oil and linseed oil omega-3

Cons

• ✗Dried seaweed binder drew repeated questions over carrageenan, and a minority reported gut gurgles and sloppy poos they attributed to it
• ✗Some dogs disliked the smooth, slightly sloppy pâté texture, and one reviewer's dog vomited after eating it
• ✗Packaging damage in transit — a reviewer received a burst tray inside a collapsing box
• ✗Complaints about slow delivery and unanswered customer service messages on direct orders

Best For
