Harley & Marley Small Breed Fish Cuisine review

Name: Harley & Marley Small Breed Fish Cuisine
Brand: Harley & Marley

69.1/100Good

DryAdult

A small-breed kibble where fish is 70.5% of the recipe and every part of that figure is printed. The difference is in the split: fresh haddock and trout up front, then a 34% dehydrated fish share that does most of the work in the finished kibble. The plant side is short and grain free, and the starch load comes out lower than most kibbles manage.

Our view

Likely to suit

Small dogs that came out itchy on chicken. A fish bowl is a proper change of direction
Small breed adults, the one size this recipe is written for
Owners who want fish and nothing else on the animal side, with no land meat listed
A lighter starch load, carbohydrate converting to 36.8% of dry matter
Grain free with a proper protein figure: 31.5% of dry matter

Worth watching

The biggest fish entry, 34% dehydrated fish, names no species, so it cannot pin a reaction to one fish
Small portions at 390 kcal per 100g. Use a kitchen scale, not a scoop
