Natural Greatness

Natural Greatness Veterinary Dry: Gastrointestinal review

We don't put a score on this food. It is a veterinary diet, formulated for a diagnosed condition and meant to be fed on a vet's advice. Your vet has seen your dog and we have not, so a number from us could only pull you towards their advice or away from it, and neither of those is ours to do. What follows is what the label declares, what the analysis works out at, and where to buy it, with no judgement attached to any of it.

Natural Greatness puts these six kibbles in its Veterinary line, one recipe per condition, each built on named meats with printed percentages and sold for dogs whose feeding a vet is directing.

Flavour

Natural Greatness sells six kibbles in its Veterinary line, one recipe per condition, for dogs whose feeding a vet is directing. We do not put a score on them. Every animal entry is named, with printed percentages, which makes each label easy to check against a dog's history.

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

Adult dogs on a vet's recommendation for one of the six conditions
Owners who need every animal named, since the label style spells out each one
A recipe matched to the diagnosis: gut, liver and heart, joints, weight, kidneys or struvite
Joint support printed on four labels, with glucosamine and chondroitin dosed by the kilo

Worth watching

No fish-free option: a fish oil is in all six
Hydrolysed proteins still come from the animal named, which matters when the point is exclusion
Glucosamine is usually drawn from shellfish, so mention any shellfish reaction to the vet

The details

Dog fit

Listed for adult dogs, mostly of every size. Check with the vet managing the case which of the six they want and at what portion, as four feeding tables assume a lightly exercised dog.

Against the range

Meat: Turkey, with chicken in four forms; Salmon only on the Joint; turkey or chicken elsewhere.
Fibre: 5.4% of dry matter; From 3.8% on the Urinary to 9.8% on the Obesity.
Energy: 367 kcal per 100g; From 303 to 384 across the line.

The gut recipe, with pumpkin and a moderate fat level of 17.4% of dry matter.

The six share one build: a dehydrated meat opens most of them with a fresh meat of the same species behind, and the starch is some mix of potato, tapioca, peas, lentils and quinoa. Every one declares inulin for FOS, yeast cell wall for MOS, glucosamine and chondroitin sulphate.

Hydrolysed fractions run through the line, from chicken, salmon or turkey liver depending on the recipe. A fish oil is in all six and chicken oil in four. None declares moisture, so the dry matter figures rest on an assumed 8%, and none prints a vitamin or trace mineral panel.

Price and where to buy

All six are listed in the same two bag sizes, 2kg and 6kg.
