Nature's Harvest Grain Free Adult: Salmon & Sweet Potato review

Name: Nature's Harvest Grain Free Adult: Salmon & Sweet Potato
Brand: Nature's Harvest

77.6/100Excellent

WetAdult

Flavour

The brand's meat-first wet recipe with the cereal lifted out, and all three flavours sit in our Excellent band. The named animal leads at 60% and nothing is quietly added back to replace the grain. Choose chicken for the leanest bowl, lamb for the richest, or salmon for no land animal at all.

Our view

Likely to suit

A household that wants no grain in the bowl
The meat quantified, 60% on every label
Delicate digestions, with FOS and yeast MOS at 0.1% each
A home with a toy breed and a giant, fed from one recipe
Dogs that like a change of animal on a shared pattern

Worth watching

Fish or salmon oil on all three labels
Vegetable oil with no plant named
Glucosamine at 0.004% is a light touch. A dog on a prescribed joint regime should stay on it
Fat on the lamb reaches 40.0% of dry matter, generous for a dog that gains easily

The score, in context

Salmon 77.6
Chicken 75.2
Lamb 72.4

All three Excellent. Typical wet food: Excellent.

All three sit in Excellent with the salmon a shade in front, and none of them is meaningfully apart.

Named ingredients

Salmon (60%), Dried Sweet Potato (1.3% equivalent to 4% Sweet Potato), Dried Peas (1.3% equivalent to 4% Peas), Dried Carrots (1.3% equivalent to 10% Carrots), Dried Basil, Dried Parsley, Dried Sage, Dried Mint, Dried Rosemary, Fish Oil, Vegetable Oil, Fructo-oligosaccharies (Prebiotic FOS; 0.1%), Yeast (as a source of Prebiotic MOS; 0.1%), Minerals, High Nucleotide Yeast Extract (0.015%), Seaweed Meal, Glucosamine (0.004%), Chondroitin Sulphate (0.002%), Cranberry (0.002%), Yucca Schidigera (0.002%)

Against the range

Other animals on the label: None; Chicken and lamb in the other two.
Protein, dry matter: 42.0%; Between the chicken's 46.0% and the lamb's 32.0%.
Carbohydrate, dry matter: 12.0%; 14.0% on the other two.

The natural stop when poultry and red meat have both caused trouble.

Each recipe opens with its named animal at 60%, then dried sweet potato, peas and carrots at 1.3% apiece, then a run of dried herbs. No cereal appears in any of the three. Estimated carbohydrate stays at 12.0% to 14.0% of dry matter.

The back of each list is the same: a named fish or salmon oil, an unnamed vegetable oil, FOS and yeast MOS at 0.1% each, seaweed, and glucosamine and chondroitin in trace amounts. Every finishing touch carries a figure. What varies is the animal and how rich it is.
