Name: Heights Farm Fussy Dog (Sensory Bowl): Chicken with Rabbit & Superfoods
Brand: Heights Farm

63.5/100Good

DryAdult

Flavour

A light rice and oats kibble sold with a wet tray of named meat, from chicken with rabbit to 60% wild boar. Stir the tray through and a dog that walks away from dinner has a reason to stay. All four bundles sit in our Good band, and the trays are what lift them there.

Our view

Likely to suit

A dog that inspects dinner and wanders off
Fussy eaters and picky older dogs, the dog this pairing is built for
A meat your dog has never met: wild boar, venison and rabbit are among the trays
Owners who want the tray meat printed, 45% to 60%
A dog carrying a little extra, as the kibble has fat at 7% and fibre at 5%

Worth watching

The same beef and chicken kibble under every tray, so the venison and wild boar are not a novel-protein diet
Salmon oil in the kibble, so none of the four is fish free

Against the range

Tray plants: Pumpkin, oat flakes, spinach, goji berries; Each tray has its own mix.
Character: Green tea; Herbs, ginger or curcuma on the others.

The softest introduction to a new animal in the range.

Every bundle pairs the same light rice and oats kibble, with beef and chicken meal at 12% each and salmon oil, with a wet tray. Each tray leads with a named species at 45% to 60%, then broth at close to 30%, which carries the smell that brings a reluctant dog to the bowl.

Behind the meat, each tray takes its own route through fruit and vegetables at 1% to 5%, and a trace of something like ginger or green tea gives it a distinct smell. Calcium converts to 2.22% of dry matter on the kibble, a plentiful figure that suits the adult label.
