Nourish Grain Free Adult Small Breed: Salmon With Trout, Sweet Potato & Asparagus review

Name: Nourish Grain Free Adult Small Breed: Salmon With Trout, Sweet Potato & Asparagus
Brand: Nourish

66.6/100Good

DryAdult

Flavour

Nourish's grain-free recipe in a kibble small enough for a small mouth, with the meat share kept at half or more. The chicken reaches our Excellent band, with the lamb and the salmon just behind in Good. These run a shade richer than the standard adult bags.

Our view

Likely to suit

Small breed adults, the size the kibble is cut and portioned for
One named meat, as the chicken and the lamb both manage
Busy little dogs: fat at 16.3% of dry matter in the chicken and the salmon
Dogs off grain entirely
A fish-loving terrier, with salmon oil named at 4% in the salmon

Worth watching

No glucosamine or chondroitin on any of the three
An omega 3 supplement of unnamed source on every label
The lamb's mineral load, with calcium at 2.17% of dry matter

The score, in context

Chicken 70.6
Salmon 66.6
Lamb 65.1

Three recipes across Excellent and Good. Typical dry food: Good.

The three sit close enough that the animal matters more than the order they finish in, and the chicken's edge comes from how its declarations line up.

Against the range

Fish oil: Salmon oil, 4%; Only an unnamed omega 3 supplement in the other two.
Energy: 376 kcal per 100g; The densest; 364 in the lamb.
Carbohydrate, dry matter: 42.4%; 39.2% in the chicken.

For a fish-loving small dog this puts marine omega 3 on the label at a share you can see.

All three cut the brand's grain-free build down to a small kibble without shrinking the meat: half the recipe or more, split between freshly prepared and dried. Sweet potato at 22% to 26% leads the plant side, with peas, potato and beet pulp behind it. No cereal appears.

Linseed and an unnamed omega 3 supplement are on every label, and FOS at 96 mg/kg. Carbohydrate runs from 39.2% to 42.4% of dry matter against a typical 46.2%. The animal, the dried share and the mineral load are what vary.
