Nulo Raw Medley Adult: Chicken, Oats & Turkey review

Name: Nulo Raw Medley Adult: Chicken, Oats & Turkey
Brand: Nulo

70.8/100Excellent

DryAdult

Flavour

A baked kibble with freeze-dried raw pieces mixed through, so the bowl has two textures, and both recipes sit in our Excellent band. Named meats do the work, and dehulled oats sit in place of a grain free claim. Chicken runs through both, the salmon included.

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

Dogs that nose through the bowl hunting for the best bits
Owners happy with a whole grain in the bowl
Busy dogs on a full week, with a protein-forward panel on both
Two dogs with different tastes, since only the lead animal changes

Worth watching

Chicken in both recipes, and more of it than salmon in the salmon one
The percentages beside the raw pieces describe the pieces, not the bag

The score, in context

Salmon 73.9
Chicken 70.8

All two Excellent. Typical dry food: Good.

The two sit close enough that the meat you choose matters more than the placing; the salmon is a shade ahead.

Against the range

Lead meat: Fresh chicken, 20%; Fresh salmon, 15%, in the other
Other animals on the label: Turkey and duck; Turkey and chicken behind the salmon
Protein, dry matter: 33.7%; 33.2% in the salmon
Fat, dry matter: 16.8%; 19% in the salmon

The leaner of the pair and the slightly higher in protein.

Both recipes are a baked kibble with freeze-dried raw pieces stirred through, the pieces typically 3% of the product and built from fresh chicken, chicken heart and chicken liver. Underneath, named fresh and dehydrated meats lead, with dehulled oats, sweet potatoes, lentils and chickpeas.

Chicken fat and hydrolysed chicken protein are in both. Neither label prints moisture, so the dry matter figures assume 8%. What changes is the lead animal: chicken in one, salmon in the other.
