Nulo Limited+ Adult review

Name: Nulo Limited+ Adult
Brand: Nulo

66.5/100Good

DryAdult

A short recipe built on a single animal, and it comes out in our Good band. Salmon is the only species anywhere on the label, and the hydrolysed protein, where limited recipes usually spring a leak, is salmon too. There is no botanical tail and no second animal tucked into the fats.

Where to buy: coming soon

Live retailer links are coming soon. Once we have them from UK retailers, where to buy and the best price will appear here.

Our view

Likely to suit

A one animal diet, with no species but salmon named
An elimination plan with your vet, helped by a list this brief
Dogs kept off land meats. Even the added fat is sunflower oil
Itchy dogs whose owners want fewer moving parts in the bowl
Digestion as part of the worry, with yeast MOS, chicory inulin and a live culture

Worth watching

Pea protein and pea fibre, so some of the panel's protein is plant
Salmon in every animal entry, which rules it out after a past fish reaction
No moisture figure printed, so the dry matter numbers rest on an assumption

The score, in context

Nulo Limited+ Adult 66.5

All one Good. Typical dry food: Good.

A restricted recipe often pays for its simplicity in the scoring, and this one largely does not.

What's in it

Fresh salmon23%Comes out of the oven much lighter.
Dehydrated salmon proteins22%What survives the oven intact.
Sweet potato, chickpeasThe only real carbohydrate sources.
Sunflower oilNamed, and what keeps the recipe on one species. The omega 3 comes from the salmon itself.
Inactivated yeastsMannan-oligosaccharides for friendly bacteria.
Hydrolysed salmon proteinSalmon again, with no new species creeping in.
Chicory inulin, pea fibre
Autolysed inactivated yeasts, minerals
Pea proteinLifts the panel without more fish. The recipe would read better without it.

All declared: taurine at 1,200 mg and DL-methionine at 2,400 mg per kilo, each trace mineral in two forms, and a live Enterococcus faecium culture.

No moisture figure on the label, so the dry matter conversions assume 8%.

Named ingredients

Fresh salmon (23%), dehydrated salmon proteins (22%), sweet potato, chickpeas, sunflower oil,inactivated yeasts, hydrolysed salmon protein, chicory inulin, pea fibre, autolysed inactivated yeasts, minerals, pea protein.

Against the range

One recipe on one animal. Salmon arrives fresh at 23%, dehydrated at 22% and again as a hydrolysed protein, with sweet potato and chickpeas for starch and sunflower oil for fat. Protein converts to 32.6% of dry matter and carbohydrate to 35.3%, both on an assumed 8% moisture.
