Bounce and Bella Luxury Grain-Free Small Breed: Scottish Salmon review

Name: Bounce and Bella Luxury Grain-Free Small Breed: Scottish Salmon
Brand: Bounce And Bella

74.1/100Excellent

DryAdult

Flavour

The brand's 65% animal formula scaled down for little dogs, and both flavours earn our Excellent band. They have quite different personalities: the salmon keeps everything fishy, while the turkey pairs fresh turkey with dried pork.

Our view

Likely to suit

Small breed adults, with feeding built for dogs up to 10kg
Named animal ingredients filling most of the bowl
Dogs that struggle with grain
Stiff or ageing small dogs. The salmon carries glucosamine, MSM and chondroitin at printed doses

Worth watching

Turkey and pork share the turkey flavour's headline
An omega 3 supplement with no source named, a loose end on a strict elimination diet

All two Excellent. Typical dry food: Good.

Named ingredients

65% Salmon (35% Freshly Prepared Scottish Salmon, 22% Dried Salmon, 5% Salmon Oil, 3% Salmon Gravy), Sweet Potato, Beans, Beet Pulp, Omega 3 Supplement, Dried Superfood Blend* (Including Dill, Spinach, Fennel, Asparagus, Tomato), Minerals, Fructooligosaccharides (FOS, 192 mg/kg), Glucosamine (170 mg/kg), Methylsulfonylmethane (170 mg/kg), Chondroitin Sulphate (125 mg/kg), Mannanoligosaccharides (MOS, 48 mg/kg), Nucleotides, Olive Extract (0.01%)

Against the range

Animals: Salmon only; Turkey and pork in the other.
Protein, dry matter: 35.9%; 40.2% in the turkey.
Joint additives: Glucosamine, MSM, chondroitin; None in the turkey.

The flavour to reach for if land meats are off the menu.

Both flavours declare a 65% animal share with the split in print, about a third of it as dried meat or fish that carries much of the protein once the fresh share has cooked down. Sweet potato and beans do the binding, with beet pulp behind, and no grain appears in either.

FOS and MOS are dosed in print on both labels. Each ends with its own trace-level superfood blend and olive extract at 0.01%, and neither names the source of its omega 3 supplement.
