64.5/100Good

DryAdult

A Good grain-free chicken kibble sized down for little mouths. The meat is counted dry, chicken protein at 30%, and potatoes and sweet potatoes carry the starch. Almost every minor ingredient behind them has its own percentage on the label.

Our view

Likely to suit

Toy and small breed dogs, the sizes the bag is shaped for
A meat figure with the water already out of it
Little dogs kept off cereal: potatoes, sweet potatoes and chickpeas do the starch work
Small breeds that stiffen early, glucosamine printed at 0.1%
Owners who read the small print

Worth watching

Chicken in the protein, the fat and the hydrolysed liver, so not one for a chicken sensitive dog
Salmon oil on the list, though no fish is named on the front
Adult only; a small breed puppy needs a growth food first

The details

Dog fit

Listed for toy and small adult dogs. The label asks 100 to 170 grams a day between 5kg and 10kg, and a few extra grams is a big overfeed at that size, so weigh the portion.

The score, in context

Pooch & Mutt Superfoods Small Adult Dry Food 64.5

All one Good. Typical dry food: Good.

A dried meat lead and a label that prints nearly every percentage carry it to the middle of the shelf, with nothing clever flattering the result.
