Brand: Bounce And Bella

69.4/100Good

DryAdult

Flavour

The brand's grain-free formula cut down for small mouths, with both recipes in our Good band. More than half of each bowl is a named animal, and the label shows how much of it is fresh, meal and stock. Carbohydrate stays below the typical adult dry food in both.

Our view

Likely to suit

Small breed adults. The feeding guide starts at 1kg dogs
Little dogs with big energy needs, as both feed denser than most adult dry foods
Small dogs kept off grain, with sweet potato and potato in its place
Fussy eaters: a herb-dressed chicken or a steam-cooked fish

Worth watching

Tiny portions, from 25 grams a day, so weigh them
An omega 3 supplement with no named source
Vitamins and minerals listed without doses
