Miraculous Meals Free Run Chicken Dry review

Name: Miraculous Meals Free Run Chicken Dry
Brand: Miraculous Meals

66/100Good

DryAdult

A Good-band grain-free kibble whose label does more explaining than most. Chicken arrives in four parts, each with a percentage, and the starch comes from sweet potato and potato. Joint support and prebiotics both carry printed figures, which is rarer than it should be.

Where to buy: coming soon

Live retailer links are coming soon. Once we have them from UK retailers, where to buy and the best price will appear here.

Our view

Likely to suit

Owners who like to read the working: nearly every part of this label has a figure
Dogs fed off grain, with sweet potato at 21% and potato at 13% doing the binding
Older dogs with stiffening joints. Chondroitin and glucosamine each carry a dose
Homes with very different sizes of dog, as the feeding table runs from 1kg to 50kg
Owners who want gut ingredients named, beet pulp and psyllium husk included
Fussier eaters, given chicken liver at 3%

Worth watching

Salmon oil in the recipe, so a fish-free dog cannot have it
Chicken in four separate entries, a problem for a chicken-reactive dog
Lignocellulose, a purified fibre powder, among the whole foods
No declared moisture, so our dry-matter figures assume 8%

The score, in context

Miraculous Meals Free Run Chicken Dry 66.0

All one Good. Typical dry food: Good.

Nothing exotic earns the score here: the meat is declared in parts and the carbohydrate comes in under the dry-food norm.

What's in it

Fresh chicken25%Mostly water until it meets the oven.
Dried chicken15%Does the heavier protein lifting, whatever the label order implies.
Chicken fat, chicken liver8%, 3%The fat brings energy, not protein. Liver is the part dogs rarely need talking into.
Sweet potato21%The main binder. No wheat, maize or rice anywhere on the list.
Potato, pumpkin, carrots, spinach, apple, blueberries17% block, potato 13%Every entry in the vegetables and fruit block is named.
Beet pulp, psyllium huskThe two entries doing the fibre work.
Salmon oil, linseed1%Marine and plant omega 3. The salmon oil rules out a fish-free dog.
MOS, chicory root, yucca0.5%, 0.1%
LignocelluloseA purified fibre powder that bulks the kibble without calories.
Chondroitin, glucosamine, herbs and botanicalsJoint entries at 300 mg/kg; the label writes glucosamine as mg per hg, which reads as a slip. The herbs are seasoning.

Vitamins A, D3 and E with trace minerals in sulphate form, sodium selenite, and DL-methionine, preserved with mixed tocopherols.

Moisture is not declared, so the dry-matter figures assume a standard 8% and the carbohydrate is an estimate.
