BRAVERY kibble: an overview of the dog and cat ranges

BRAVERY is a grain-free kibble brand, designed to cover the needs of dogs and cats at every life stage, from puppy or kitten through to senior, with single or dual animal-protein recipes. Here is an overview of the available ranges to help you spot the one that suits your pet.

1. The principle behind BRAVERY kibble

The BRAVERY brand offers grain-free kibble, formulated around a main source of animal protein (chicken, salmon or herring depending on the recipe), with dedicated ranges based on age, size and certain specific needs such as sterilisation. This grain-free approach appeals particularly to households looking for a simple ingredient list, without it being automatically necessary for every dog or cat, since a dog or cat with no particular sensitivity digests quality grains perfectly well.

2. The BRAVERY ranges for dogs

Range	Dog profile	Main protein
Puppy Medium & Large	Medium to large puppy	Salmon or chicken
Mini Puppy	Small-breed puppy	Chicken
Mini Adult	Small-breed adult dog	Salmon
Senior Medium & Large	Medium to large senior dog	Herring

For a puppy, the Puppy Medium & Large salmon range supports the growth of medium to large dogs, while the Mini Adult range suits small dogs that have reached adulthood. For a senior dog, the Senior herring range is designed for medium to large dogs entering this life stage. Find them all in the dog kibble collection, and for a growing puppy, our article how to choose puppy kibble usefully rounds out this overview.

3. The BRAVERY ranges for cats

Range	Cat profile	Main protein
Kitten	Growing kitten	Chicken or salmon
Adult Cat	Adult cat	Chicken or salmon
Sterilized	Sterilised cat	Chicken or salmon

The Kitten chicken range supports a kitten's growth, the Adult Cat range suits an adult cat with no particular need, and the Sterilized range is designed for sterilised cats, whose energy needs are generally lower after the procedure. To learn more on this point, see our article kibble for sterilised cats. Find all the cat recipes in the cat kibble collection.

4. Why grain-free recipes

BRAVERY recipes replace grains with other carbohydrate sources (potato, peas depending on the recipe), an approach frequently sought by owners who want as simple a composition as possible. It is worth remembering, however, that a grain-free diet is not automatically superior to one with grains for a healthy pet with no known sensitivity: it is mostly a matter of preference and individual tolerance for your dog or cat. To go further on this topic, our article grain-free kibble, who is it for and why details the cases where this option is particularly relevant.

5. Which bag size to choose

BRAVERY kibble comes in several sizes, from a small 2 kg bag to larger 15 kg formats depending on the recipe, allowing you to match the purchase to your pet's size and usual consumption. As a general guide, a small dog or a cat goes through a bag much more slowly than a large dog, and it is better to choose a size that will be used up within a reasonable time rather than a very large bag purely to save money. Our article how long to keep an open bag of kibble gives useful benchmarks for not keeping a bag too long once opened.

6. How to introduce BRAVERY into your pet's diet

Any diet change, even to a quality range, should always be done gradually over about one to two weeks, mixing the old and new kibble in increasing proportions. This limits digestive upset linked to too sudden a change. The amounts to feed each day remain, as a general guide only, those given in the table on the bag or product page, based on your dog's or cat's weight, age and activity level; your veterinarian remains the reference in case of doubt or a specific need.

7. Spotting the right range, and what BRAVERY does not replace

Faced with several BRAVERY bags lined up, three pieces of information are usually enough to guide the choice: the species (dog or cat), the life stage shown on the bag (puppy or kitten, adult, senior, sterilized) and, for small dogs, the word "mini," which signals a recipe designed for small breeds. Cross-checking these three criteria with your pet's profile quickly rules out the ranges that do not fit, before settling on the main protein, chicken, salmon or herring, according to your preferences and your pet's.

Like any quality commercial pet food, BRAVERY kibble covers the basic nutritional needs of a healthy dog or cat, but it does not replace regular veterinary follow-up, or a therapeutic diet in case of a diagnosed condition. If you are unsure which range best suits your pet, especially a dog or cat with a specific health need, ask your veterinarian for advice before making a final choice.
