Pala: the closer look
The range
Seven products, one recipe per range, and all air dried. Every label runs from puppy to senior. Chicken leads by count with three recipes, and turkey, lamb, beef and rabbit take one each. Every product is flagged high energy, and two are flagged grain free.
Ingredients
Chicken is on three recipes, with turkey, lamb, beef and rabbit on one each. Salmon oil appears on three labels. Two recipes are flagged grain free, so grain-free feeding narrows the choice here.
Nutrition
This is dry, dense food, so the figures run high. Protein as fed sits between 37.0% on the chicken and 50.0% on the rabbit, with energy of 445 to 521 kcal per 100g. Nutritional balance reads Outstanding on all seven, and protein and processing is Outstanding on five.
Strengths
- Nutritional balance Outstanding on all seven
- High protein across the range
- Every label names puppy, adult and senior
Limitations
- Air dried only, no wet or raw
- Two recipes read Good overall
- Only two recipes flagged grain free
Where it is less of a fit
- If the diet is wet or raw, check the format list, as all seven recipes are air dried
- If grain free right across the range is what you need, check the flags, since two of the seven carry it
- If you want lower fat, check the figures, as fat sits at 24.4% on the rabbit and 39.3% on the chicken
Score overview
Nutritional balance carries the Excellent band read, Outstanding on every recipe. Protein and processing and value both read Outstanding on five products and Good on two. Those two, the turkey and the lamb, are the recipes that land in our Good band overall. Transparency is Excellent on five and Outstanding on two.
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.
