In detail

Hoddy's: the closer look

The range

Three products in two ranges, both of them dry. Hoddy's Wild Dry holds two adult recipes, one on pheasant and one on venison. Hoddy's Puppy is a single game recipe for puppies. All three are grain free, and the puppy food is flagged high energy.

Ingredients

Pheasant, venison and game lead the three recipes, one protein to each. Every recipe is grain free. Linseed and yucca are the label extras across both ranges.

Nutrition

Protein as fed is 31.0% on the two adult recipes and 28.0% on the puppy food. Fat runs 14.0 to 15.0% on the adult pair and 18.0% on the puppy. Energy is 369 to 381 kcal per 100g on the adult food and 390 kcal on the puppy. Nutritional balance reads Good throughout.

Strengths

  • Outstanding transparency on all three recipes
  • Grain-free recipes built on game meats
  • Value reads Excellent on the adult food

Limitations

  • Only three products in the catalogue
  • Dry only, with no wet or raw
  • Nutritional balance reads Good throughout

Where it is less of a fit

  • If you want wet or raw food, check the formats here, as all three products are dry
  • If you want a wide choice of recipes, check the range, since Hoddy's lists three products
  • If you want nutritional balance to read higher, check that pillar, which is Good on all three

Score overview

Transparency carries the Excellent band read, Outstanding on all three recipes, and value is Excellent on the two adult foods. Protein and processing and nutritional balance both read Good across the range, which is what holds the brand where it is. The puppy recipe reads Good overall, a band below the adult pair.
