In detail

Bug Bakes: the closer look

The range

Three products: two cold-pressed recipes, Grain Free and Regular, and one hypoallergenic wet food. Adult labels cover all three and the two cold-pressed recipes also carry puppy. Two of the three are flagged grain free, and every product is single protein.

Ingredients

Every recipe is built on one protein, and all three are flagged novel protein. The two cold-pressed recipes carry glucosamine and chondroitin for joints, with linseed and a prebiotic on the label. The wet food is flagged hypoallergenic and grain free.

Nutrition

Both cold-pressed recipes sit at 25% protein as fed and 11% fat, with 354 kcal per 100g. The wet food is 9% protein and 7% fat at 109 kcal per 100g. Protein and processing reads Good on all three, and nutritional balance is the pillar that splits them.

Strengths

  • Outstanding transparency on all three recipes
  • Single protein on every product
  • Cold-pressed and wet in a small range

Limitations

  • A range of three products
  • Nutritional balance reads Average on two
  • No dry kibble or raw

Where it is less of a fit

  • If you want a large catalogue, check the list here, as it holds three products
  • If you want dry kibble or raw, check the formats, since this is cold-pressed and wet
  • If nutritional balance matters most, check the recipe, as it reads Average on two of the three

Score overview

All three products sit in our Good band. Transparency carries them, Outstanding on every recipe, with protein and processing Good throughout. Nutritional balance is the softer pillar, Outstanding on one product and Average on the other two. Value reads Good across the three, so the ranges land in the same band as each other.

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.
