In detail
Barkin Bistro: the closer look
The range
Twenty one products. Raw is the largest part at thirteen, across 80:10:10, Raw Blends and Boneless Blend. Single recipes cover special diet, surf and turf and pancreatic support. Five cold-pressed recipes and three cooked recipes fill out the rest. Adult covers all twenty one labels, and fifteen also carry puppy and senior.
Ingredients
Beef heads six products and chicken five, with pork, lamb, turkey and venison behind them. All twenty one recipes are flagged grain free and thirteen single protein. The cold-pressed labels add glucosamine, chondroitin and salmon oil. The cooked recipes name linseed.
Nutrition
The 80:10:10 raw recipes read 15.0 to 19.1% protein as fed, 5.1 to 12.9% fat and 127 to 165 kcal per 100g. Density rises in the cold-pressed food, which reads 34.0 to 41.0% protein and 322 to 336 kcal per 100g. Nutritional balance reads Outstanding on fifteen products and protein and processing on sixteen.
Strengths
- Sixteen products in our Outstanding band
- Three formats in one range
- Grain free flagged on every product
Limitations
- No dry kibble or wet food
- Transparency reads Good on three products
- Joint support only on the cold-pressed line
Where it is less of a fit
- If the bowl is usually kibble or wet, check the formats: this range is raw, cold-pressed and cooked
- If you want transparency Outstanding throughout, check that pillar, which sits at Good on three products
- If joint-support extras are the draw, check the cold-pressed labels, as that is where glucosamine and chondroitin appear
Score overview
Every pillar reads Outstanding on most of the range: protein and processing on sixteen, nutritional balance on fifteen, transparency on twelve and value on sixteen. The raw and cooked recipes read Outstanding almost throughout. The cold-pressed line is the softer part, with four of its five recipes at 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.
