Scrumbles Grain Free Veggie review

Name: Scrumbles Grain Free Veggie
Brand: Scrumbles

38.1/100Average

WetPuppyAdult

A meat-free tray that lands in our Average band for reasons of construction, not concern. Lentils, chickpeas, peas and sweet potato carry it, and methionine and lysine are added by name. That top-up is the detail a plant-based recipe most needs to get right.

Our view

Likely to suit

Homes feeding meat-free by choice, wanting a complete tray
Dogs working through a long list of meat reactions with their vet. No animal ingredient appears
A percentage beside every main ingredient
Amino acids topped up: methionine at 500mg and lysine at 50mg per kilo
Cutting back on meat, used in rotation with a meat tray

Worth watching

Protein at 17.9% of dry matter, well below a meat-led wet tray
Carbohydrate estimated at 62.5% of dry matter, as a pulse recipe will be
Vegetable oil with no plant named
Fat at 8.9% of dry matter, so a hard-working dog may need something richer alongside
