64.5/100Good

DryAdult

A grain-free chicken kibble whose meat is declared dried, which makes the headline 30% an honest one. Cooking cannot shrink a figure that has already been through the oven. The long superfood tail is a pleasant extra; the recipe stands on its chicken and its starch choices.

Our view

Likely to suit

Owners who want the meat counted after drying
Dogs better off without cereal. Sweet potatoes at 17% and chickpeas at 6% carry the starch
Fussier eaters, with hydrolysed chicken liver at 4% to keep the bowl interesting
Dogs starting to slow on the walk, as glucosamine is printed at 0.1%
Homes with dogs of several sizes, toy breeds through to giants

Worth watching

Chicken as protein, fat and liver, no help to a chicken-sensitive dog
Salmon oil and microalgae oil, so the recipe is not fish free
Written for adults only, so a growing puppy needs a bag of its own

The score, in context

Pooch & Mutt Superfoods Adult Dry Food 64.5

All one Good. Typical dry food: Good.

Ordinary things done properly open the gap: a meat figure declared dried, carbohydrate a shade under typical and a percentage on almost every line.

Against the range

Dried chicken protein leads at 30%, with chicken fat and hydrolysed chicken liver behind it, so chicken runs through the whole bag. Potatoes, sweet potatoes and chickpeas carry the starch, with no wheat, maize or rice. Almost every minor ingredient carries its own figure, and salmon and microalgae oils cover the marine omega 3.
