Our view

Likely to suit

A first go at fresh food, with nothing to defrost and nothing to measure beyond a slice
Chicken-loving dogs. Chicken is the only animal on the label
Dogs that do better on a light, digestible bowl
Adults and older dogs of any build, toy through to giant
Owners who like a short label

Worth watching

Grain free on the front, but rice flour on the list, and rice is a grain
Chicken is the only meat, so a chicken-reactive dog has nothing to fall back on
Fibre is generous at 9.1% of dry matter, so change over gradually

The score, in context

Freshpet Select Rolls Grain Free 90.4

All one Outstanding. Typical fresh food: Outstanding.

Fresh is the format we rate highest, so a roll that lands level with the middle of that field is doing very well indeed.

What's in it

Chicken69%All the animal content, and a figure for what goes in the bowl, since the roll is gently cooked and chilled.
Potato starchBinds the roll.
Potatoes6%Fibre and potassium along with the starch.
Spinach3%The only green.
Minerals
Pea proteinLifts the protein figure without adding meat, so some of it does not trace back to chicken.
Rice flourSmall and well down the list, but a grain on a grain-free roll.
Psyllium fibreSoluble fibre that helps firm a loose gut, and the main reason fibre runs high.
Celery powder, vinegarNatural preservatives.

Vitamin E with copper, manganese, zinc and iodine in everyday sulphate and iodide forms, each with its own figure.

Called grain free, but rice flour is on the list. For a dog that truly needs grain out, trust the ingredients.
