72.5/100Excellent

DryAdult

A small-mouthed baked kibble with freeze-dried raw pieces mixed through the bag, and it sits in our Excellent band. Fresh turkey leads, and the dried chicken and turkey proteins behind it carry most of the finished protein. The raw pieces are chicken, heart and liver, the sort of thing that turns a picky little dog around.

Our view

Likely to suit

Small breed adults; the kibble and feeding table are built for that size
Picky little eaters, with freeze-dried chicken, heart and liver pieces
Dogs that do well on poultry: turkey, chicken and duck are each named
Owners who would rather see a whole grain, with dehulled oats beside the sweet potatoes

Worth watching

Chicken as dried protein, fat and raw pieces, so not for a chicken-sensitive dog
Grain in the bowl from the dehulled oats
The raw-piece percentages describe the pieces, which are typically 3% of the product

The score, in context

Nulo Raw Medley Small Breed Adult 72.5

All one Excellent. Typical dry food: Good.

For a small-breed recipe, where energy density often crowds the meat out, this is a genuinely meat-forward panel.
