62.5/100Good

DryPuppyAdult

A grain free salmon kibble that takes its own name seriously, with five joint ingredients printed with their percentages. It carries more fat and less starch than most of the shelf. Our scale reads it Good, and that joint panel is the reason to look at it.

The score, in context

Pooch & Mutt Wellbeing Joint & Mobility Dry Food 62.5

All one Good. Typical dry food: Good.

Better than typical where a joint food should be, giving ground on fresh salmon's water weight and some help from pea protein.
