How do we review our products for these articles?
We believe that the animals should be the decision-makers when it comes to their needs, so we have brought many of the GMAP team, staff, and volunteers together to assess the reactions of their own dogs as well as the GMAP dogs for each dog food brand we will review. We believe you and your pets only deserve the best, so we are committed to truthfully reviewing each product.
We rate each dog food brand (out of 5 stars) based on these metrics:

So, what did our dogs think of Vitalin?
Taste: ★★★★✬
Even the pickiest of our dogs gobbled up Vitalin with no problem!
There were a few other premium brands our dogs consumed just as eagerly, so Vitalin Lebanon receives four and a half stars out of five for taste.
Nutritional Composition: ★★★★★
According to the Vitalin website, Vitalin is made with nutrient-dense ingredients sourced from British farms. The meat is responsibly reared and the botanicals added to the food are also locally and carefully grown. This means that Vitalin oversees production from beginning to end to ensure optimum quality, or from farm to tail. Growing the ingredients and raising the animals on farms has many nutritional advantages.
The Vitalin ingredient list is also very straightforward, full of nutritious and high-quality ingredients, with prebiotics, paraprobiotics, glucosamine, chondroitin, and MSM added to support everything from gut to joint health. Some of these recipes are grain-free, and certain herbal extracts are also added to support other needs (for example, citrus extract to support dental health).
Since the ingredients are balanced, excellent in quality, and fresh, and the supplements have been proven to be greatly beneficial to dogs, we rate Vitalin Lebanon five out of five stars for nutritional composition.
Ease of digestion: ★★★★☆
Besides the dogs that were allergic to specific ingredients, all our dogs experienced improved digestion and elimination. Stools were firmer and less smelly.
Because there are limited options within the Vitalin ranges to suit dogs with certain allergies, intolerances, and digestive issues, we give Vitalin Lebanon four out of five stars.
Coat condition: ★★★★✬
The freshness and quality of the ingredients made our dogs’ coats shine!
Vitalin Lebanon receives four and a half out of five stars for coat condition.
Brand claims and promises: ★★★★★
Vitalin’s recipes are formulated by highly qualified nutritionists. The ingredients are sustainably harvested, grown, and raised. The packaging is eco-friendly and recyclable.
Because of its dedication to the health of our dogs, its transparency, as well as its environmentally-conscious choices, Vitalin Lebanon receives five out of five stars in this category.
Price: ★★★✬☆
If you search for “Vitalin” in Charity Shop, you will notice right away that the prices vary according to weight and main ingredients, with a 12 kg bag of dry food costing between $65 and $75. Vitalin errs a bit on the expensive side, but it is still not the priciest premium dog food we sell. We personally think the price is reasonable for the quality, but it might deter pet parents with monetary constraints from even giving the brand a shot.
Vitalin Lebanon receives three and a half out of five stars for price.
Final overall rating: ★★★★☆
Taking the mean of the above ratings, we arrive at approximately four stars out of five (4.4) for Vitalin Lebanon.
Has your pet tried Vitalin? Do you agree with our review? If you are looking for a great premium brand for your dog and don’t mind spending a bit extra in exchange for nutrition, fresh ingredients, eco-friendly and sustainable practices, as well as quality assurance, head over to the Charity Shop dog food section and purchase your first bag of Vitalin dog food for your pal.
Best regards,
The Charity Shop Team
