Aatu: the closer look

The range

Ten products here, split evenly between wet and dry. Aatu For Dogs Wet holds five adult recipes on beef, chicken, duck and tuna. Aatu For Dogs Dry holds four adult recipes on chicken, duck, turkey and salmon. One salmon kibble covers puppies. Nine of the ten labels are adult.

Ingredients

Chicken, duck and salmon lead the proteins, with beef, tuna and pork behind them. Every recipe is grain free. Glucosamine and chondroitin appear on the wet and dry labels, with MSM and yucca on the wet, salmon oil on the dry and a prebiotic on the puppy food.

Nutrition

The wet food runs about 10.0 to 11.1% protein as fed with 98 to 112 kcal per 100g. The dry runs 31.0 to 34.0% protein and 376 to 384 kcal, and the puppy kibble sits at 34.0%. Nutritional balance reads Outstanding on five of the ten products.

Strengths

  • Grain-free across every recipe
  • Outstanding transparency on all ten products
  • Joint support extras on most labels

Limitations

  • No raw or fresh food
  • Only one puppy recipe
  • Protein and processing reads Good on four products

Where it is less of a fit

  • If your dog needs raw or fresh, check the formats first, as this brand covers wet and dry only
  • If there is a puppy in the house, check the labels, since one product here is a puppy recipe
  • If a consistent read across the range matters, check protein and processing, which sits at Good on four of the ten

Score overview

Transparency carries the Excellent band read, Outstanding on all ten products, and value sits at Excellent or better throughout. Protein and processing is the mixed pillar, Outstanding on five products and Good on four. The wet range holds the three Outstanding bands, and the dry and puppy recipes all read Excellent.

The average score is the mean of each product's overall score out of 100 (using the best-scoring variety per product), not a flat average across every variety.
