Symply Adult Small Breed review

Name: Symply Adult Small Breed
Brand: Symply

60.9/100Good

DryAdult

A turkey kibble shrunk to a size a little mouth can manage, sitting in our Good band. Turkey is declared at 47.3% and the label itemises that figure right down to the gravy. Sweet potato, potato and whole oats split the starch almost three ways.

Our view

Likely to suit

Toy and small breed adults; the feeding table starts small
A dog that suits turkey more than chicken. Every gram of meat is turkey
Owners who like to see how a meat figure is built
Small dogs with a good appetite, at 24.0% protein and 14.0% fat

Worth watching

Salmon oil and whole egg, so no good for a dog held to one protein and no fish
Whole oats put grain in the bag
An estimated energy figure. Watch the waistline alongside the table

The score, in context

Symply Adult Small Breed 60.9

All one Good. Typical dry food: Good.

The openness of the label does most of the lifting, with not one unnamed animal entry anywhere on it.
