Go Native dog food review

Go Native is a grain-free kibble range, nine products, every one of them built on a single protein. Salmon, chicken, duck and herring lead. The brand average sits in our Excellent band, transparency is Outstanding on all nine and value reads Excellent on eight. The catalogue is dry only, so format is the thing that most shapes the choice here.

In detail

Go Native: the closer look

The range

Nine dry products in two ranges. Go Native Adult holds eight of them, covering chicken, duck, herring and salmon for adults and seniors, and Go Native Puppy is the single salmon recipe. Four products are sized for small dogs. Every recipe is grain free and built on one protein.

Ingredients

Every recipe is grain free and single protein, with salmon on three products and chicken, duck and herring on two each. Glucosamine and chondroitin are on the labels for joint support, with salmon oil, linseed and yucca alongside.

Nutrition

Protein as fed runs 25% to 33%, with fat from 9% to 22% and energy of 329 to 392 kcal per 100g. Nutritional balance reads Good or better on eight products, and protein and processing is Good across all nine, as it is on most kibble.

Strengths

  • Outstanding transparency on all nine recipes
  • Grain free and single protein throughout
  • Value reads Excellent on eight products

Limitations

  • Dry food only, no wet or raw
  • One puppy recipe in the range
  • Nutritional balance drops to Average on one

Where it is less of a fit

  • If you want wet or raw food, check the formats, since all nine products are dry
  • If you want a full puppy range, check the list, as one product carries the puppy label
  • If you want nutritional balance high on every recipe, check that read, which is Good on five and Average on one

Score overview

Transparency and value carry the Excellent band, Outstanding on all nine recipes and Excellent on eight. Protein and processing is Good throughout, which is the ceiling most kibble reaches. Nutritional balance is where the spread sits, from Outstanding on one recipe to Average on another, and the single Good product comes from the adult range.

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.
