Brand: Naturo

68.6/100Good

DryAdult

A chicken and lamb kibble that splits its meat evenly, 26% each, and prints how much of each arrives as meal and how much as fresh. That gives it a bigger named meat share than most kibbles. Estimated carbohydrate sits at 38.5% of dry matter, and it reaches our Good band.

Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs that enjoy red meat as well as poultry
Owners who want the fresh and dried shares shown apart
Stiffer or older dogs: glucosamine, chondroitin and MSM are all on the bag
Most sizes. The maker's feeding table runs up to 40kg
Selenium in an organic form as well as the mineral one

Worth watching

Poultry fat names no species, so chicken cannot be ruled in or out
Chicken digest at 3% counts in an elimination trial
The joint trio carries no amounts

The score, in context

Naturo Adult Dry 68.6

All one Good. Typical dry food: Good.

A large named meat share and a modest carbohydrate load earn the place, on a label willing to say what it is doing.

What's in it

Chicken meat meal23%Already dried, so nearly all of it survives into the kibble.
Chicken digest3%Tissue broken down enzymatically and sprayed on for taste. The reason a lot of fussy dogs eat dry food at all.
Fresh lamb, lamb meat meal20%, 6%Fresh lamb is mostly water and shrinks a great deal in the oven.
Dried brown rice26%The only cereal, with more fibre and minerals than white rice.
Dried peas, dried carrot10%, 3.5
Poultry fat2.5%The one vague entry: very probably chicken, but the word covers any domestic bird.
Whole linseed2%Plant omega 3, slower to show in a coat than fish oil.
Sugar beet, tomato pomace, seaweed meal, brewer's yeast0.5% tomato pomaceBeet keeps stools firm; seaweed brings iodine.
FOS, MOS0.1% eachThe prebiotic pair.
Glucosamine, chondroitin, MSM, yucca, rosemary0.02% yuccaNo amounts on the joint trio.

Selenium is declared twice, as sodium selenite and in an organic yeast-grown form the body generally takes up more readily, with zinc likewise in two forms.

No moisture declared, so the dry matter figures rest on the standard 8% assumed for kibble.
