Green Pantry Small Dog review

Name: Green Pantry Small Dog
Brand: Green Pantry

75.6/100Excellent

DryPuppyAdult

A grain-free chicken kibble for small dogs with an unusually plain declaration: fresh and dried chicken itemised, and no other animal on the list. The dried share alone is large enough to carry the kibble. It is a rich bowl, so the scoop matters.

Our view

Likely to suit

Small-breed dogs, the size it is written and portioned for
Dogs that need one animal only: every meat entry is chicken
Owners leaving grain behind, with sweet potato and potato doing the binding
Fussy little eaters. A recipe this meaty tends to smell worth finishing
A small-breed puppy and an adult in the same house, on one bag

Worth watching

Chicken in every meat entry, so a dog with a chicken reaction is out
Fat at 18.5% of dry matter and energy-dense, so a sofa-loving small dog needs portions weighed
No calcium figure, though the label includes puppies

The details

The score, in context

Green Pantry Small Dog 75.6

All one Excellent. Typical dry food: Good.

The analysis backs the meat headline instead of quietly contradicting it, and that is what lifts it a band above the typical kibble.

What's in it

Freshly prepared chicken42%Roughly three quarters water going in, and little of it survives cooking.
Dried chicken28%The most useful line on the label: big enough to carry the kibble alone.
Sweet potato, potato9% eachA light plant load by kibble standards.
Peas6%Nowhere near filler territory; fibre and antioxidants.
Chicken stock2%
Carrot, spinach, nettle, seaweed, celery seed
LinseedThe only omega source, plant kind, so it works over weeks. Keeps the recipe fish free.
Horehound, alfalfa, apple, pumpkin, cranberry, tomato, aniseedGarnish.

Zinc, iron, manganese and copper all as chelates, the form that tends to cross the gut wall more readily, each with a figure, plus iodine at 0.96 mg per kilo.

No calcium declared on a label that includes puppies.
