Barkin Bistro Pancreatic Support Raw review

Name: Barkin Bistro Pancreatic Support Raw
Brand: Barkin Bistro

80/100Outstanding

RawPuppyAdult

An Outstanding raw meal built around fat declared at 3.7%, a long way under what a raw bowl usually carries. Lean poultry leads and beef pancreas gives the recipe its name. The band is our general nutrition reading, not a claim about the condition on the pack.

The score, in context

Barkin Bistro Pancreatic Support Raw 80.0

All one Outstanding. Typical raw food: Outstanding.

Keeping pace with the middle of the raw field is a real achievement, and the low energy figure is the recipe doing what it sets out to do.
