Naturo Adult Trays: Chicken with Rice & Vegetables review

Name: Naturo Adult Trays: Chicken with Rice & Vegetables
Brand: Naturo

69.1/100Good

WetAdult

Flavour

The brand's everyday trays, all four in our Good band, and they read like a plate of home cooking. Meat is printed as a figure on every label, and Naturo even gives the dried weight behind the rice and the vegetables. No tray has a weak spot.

Our view

Likely to suit

A bowl that looks like dinner
The animal share spelled out, 65% on three trays
Dogs that suit a little gentle grain, with brown rice the only cereal
Rotating proteins: duck and lamb as a change from everyday poultry
Every adult in the house, smallest breed to giant
Recognisable vegetables: potato, carrots and peas

Worth watching

Salmon oil at 0.3% puts fish on every label
Brown rice in every tray, so nothing here is grain free
Potato, carrots and peas share one heading, which matters if potato is the one you avoid

Named ingredients

Chicken 65%, Brown Rice 12.5% (from 5.2% Dried Brown Rice), Vegetables 10% (from 1.8% Dried Potato, Carrots and Peas), Minerals, Sunflower Oil 0.75%, Salmon Oil 0.3%, Tomato Powder 0.15%, Dried Kelp 0.08%, Dried Cranberry 0.05%, Dried Blueberry 0.05%, Dried Chicory Root 0.04%, Yeast 0.04%, Dried Basil 0.016%, Yucca Powder 0.01%, Pomegranate Extract 0.002%

Against the range

Protein, dry matter: 38.5%; The range's highest; 35.2% on duck and the mixed tray.
Carbohydrate, dry matter: 17.3% (estimate); The lowest; 25.8% on the mixed tray.

The ordinary choice, and ordinary is a compliment here.

Three trays put a single animal at 65% and the fourth splits chicken and lamb at 32.5% each. Brown rice is the only cereal, at 12.5% (from 5.2% dried), and the vegetables arrive as one 10% entry of potato, carrots and peas. Protein converts to between 35.2% and 38.5% of dry matter.

Sunflower oil at 0.75% and salmon oil at 0.3% are on every label, then a run of herbs and berries, each declared to the decimal place. Chicory root, for its inulin, is the one of those that earns its keep. The Lamb's added panel prints less vitamin D3 and no copper.
