67.1/100Good

WetPuppyAdult

A small pack built on three weighed meats with almost no starch, in our Good band. Lemon balm at 0.5% gives the recipe its name, at a dinner amount and not a medicine one. The gut fibres are named outright.

Our view

Likely to suit

Owners who want each meat weighed
A dog that copes better with almost no starch; carbohydrate is 3.5% of dry matter
A worrier, for an owner who likes a botanical nudge in the bowl
A delicate gut, with MOS and FOS both listed
Every life stage in one house, large breed puppies included, with calcium at 0.87% of dry matter

Worth watching

Three animals, so an elimination trial wants a shorter label
Pea protein at 2%, a small plant stand-in for meat
Lemon balm and hemp oil sit beside a good dinner and replace nothing a vet has prescribed
A bigger dog will open several 150g packs a day
