In detail

Hownd: the closer look

The range

Four products for adult dogs in two ranges. Plant Powered Superfood Wet holds three recipes and the dry list is a single food. There is no puppy or senior label here, and no split by breed size.

Ingredients

No leading meat protein is named across the four recipes. Taurine goes on every label. The dry food adds chondroitin and glucosamine for joints, with linseed, a prebiotic, a probiotic and yucca alongside them.

Nutrition

The wet food reads 6.0 to 6.5% protein as fed, with fat of 2.0 to 3.3% and energy of 83 to 92 kcal per 100g. The dry food is 28.0% protein, 10.0% fat and 341 kcal per 100g. Nutritional balance reads Average on three of the four.

Strengths

  • Outstanding transparency on every product
  • Wet and dry in one range
  • Joint support extras on the dry food

Limitations

  • Protein and processing reads Poor throughout
  • A small range of four products
  • Adult labels only, no puppy or senior

Where it is less of a fit

  • If you want protein and processing to read higher, check that pillar, which is Poor on all four products
  • If you feed a puppy or a senior, check the labels, as all four are adult food
  • If you want a named meat protein, check the ingredient list, since none is named across these recipes

Score overview

Transparency is the strong pillar, Outstanding on all four products. Protein and processing sits at Poor across the range and value reads Average, so the brand average lands in our Average band. Nutritional balance is Average on three recipes and Good on one. The wet and the dry read the same band.

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.
