Nourish Grain Free Adult: Turkey With Sweet Potato & Cranberry review

Name: Nourish Grain Free Adult: Turkey With Sweet Potato & Cranberry
Brand: Nourish

68.4/100Good

DryAdult

Flavour

One grain-free recipe taken through five animals, with the beef and the chicken in our Excellent band and the lamb, salmon and turkey in Good. Every label puts the named meat at half the recipe or more. Sweet potato and potato take cereal's place, and they are what holds the scores back.

Our view

Likely to suit

Rotating between meats on one unchanging frame
Dogs kept off grain
Adult dogs with settled needs
An unreliable digestion: beet pulp sits alongside FOS at 96 mg/kg and MOS at 24 mg/kg
One named meat in the bowl, which four of the five give

Worth watching

An omega 3 supplement with no source, which matters on a strict elimination diet
Carbohydrate from 41.4% to 48.2% of dry matter, so starch carries a fair share
Calcium differs by recipe, with the lamb highest

Calcium, dry matter: 1.63%; Beef 1.09%, lamb 2.17%.

Suits a dog whose energy needs have started to level off.

Each recipe declares half its content or more as a named animal, split between a freshly prepared entry and a dried one. The dried entry is the one that carries the protein into the kibble, and protein finishes between 28.3% and 31.5% of dry matter. Sweet potato leads the plant side at 23% to 26%, with potato and peas behind it, and no label carries a cereal.

Linseed, beet pulp and a dosed prebiotic pair are on every list, as is an entry called omega 3 supplement with no source given. The mineral panels are printed with figures but not identically: copper and selenium appear on some and not others. Calcium varies from recipe to recipe.
