In detail
Nature's Way: the closer look
The range
Eight dry products. The 50% Recipes line holds three adult foods on chicken, lamb and salmon. Single products cover the 80% fish recipe, a grain-free adult kibble, puppy and small dog, light mature and a grain-free puppy and small dog food. Labels run adult, puppy and senior.
Ingredients
Chicken leads on five products, with lamb, salmon and fish taking one each. Most labels carry glucosamine, msm, omega 3, prebiotic, salmon oil, linseed and yucca. The light mature recipe adds chondroitin.
Nutrition
Protein as fed sits at 21% on the light mature recipe and 34% on the puppy and small dog food. Energy is 328 kcal per 100g on the light mature kibble and 375 on the grain-free adult. Nutritional balance is the weak pillar, Average on three recipes and Poor on two.
Strengths
- Joint support extras on seven products
- Outstanding transparency on seven recipes
- Single protein on seven recipes
Limitations
- Dry food only, with no wet
- Protein and processing Average on seven recipes
- Nutritional balance reads Poor on two
Where it is less of a fit
- If you want wet or raw food, check the formats, as all eight products here are dry
- If you want strong nutritional balance, check that pillar recipe by recipe, since it reads Poor on two products
- If you want grain-free food, check the labels, as three recipes carry that flag
Score overview
Transparency is the reason for the Good band average, Outstanding on seven products and Excellent on the eighth, with value Good on seven. Pulling the other way are protein and processing, Average on seven recipes, and nutritional balance. The 80% fish food is the one product in our Average 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.
