Growling Tums Delicate review

Name: Growling Tums Delicate
Brand: Growling Tums

61.6/100Good

DryAdult

A Good duck kibble whose strength is a list you can read in one breath. Duck is 36% of the recipe, fat and gravy included, potato at 31% leads the plants, and nothing on the label is left unnamed. For an owner working out what a dog reacts to, that matters more than a couple of points.

Our view

Likely to suit

Exclusion diets, every animal entry being duck
A cereal-free bowl, potato and peas carrying the starch
Itchy dogs on a protein-by-protein trial; plenty have never met duck
Mixed households, one bag covering toy to giant
A species named against every fat and gravy line

Worth watching

Nothing behind the duck for a dog that already reacts to it
Carbohydrate estimated at 46.7% of dry matter, a substantial plant side
Linseed the only omega source, slower on a coat than the marine kind
No calcium figure, so this is a bag for the grown dogs

The score, in context

Growling Tums Delicate 61.6

All one Good. Typical dry food: Good.

The plant side carries about as much as the duck, which holds the score; the clean list is the real case for it.
