Yarrah's organic kibble cut down for little dogs, in our Good band. Energy is 385 kcal per 100g, the densest of the maker's dry recipes, which suits a small stomach. Cereals carry most of the list behind a 19% dried chicken lead.

Our view

Likely to suit

Small breed adults, kibble and portions sized to match
Small breed puppies as well, both stages on the label
Organic households
Owners who want MSC certified fish
Fussy little dogs. Hydrolysed liver makes the bowl worth finishing

Worth watching

Wheat and corn both in the recipe
Herring and fish oil, so fish runs right through it
Fat at 18.2% of dry matter, so measure portions for a dog already carrying a bit

The score, in context

Yarrah Adult Small Breed 50.3

All one Good. Typical dry food: Good.

A cereal-led list with plant protein behind it holds the score level with the shelf, while the organic sourcing and energy density do the work for a small dog.

What's in it

OatsThe most useful of the cereals: fibre, manganese, magnesium and B1.
Wheat, cornWheat sits behind more cereal intolerance than anything else.
Chicken fat
Soy husks, sunflower seed husksThere for fibre only.
Rice proteinPlant protein that lifts the protein figure from the plant side.
Peas, soy beans
Dried MSC herring
Hydrolysed liver, brewers yeast, mineralsLiver is the palatant, a well chosen one.
MSC fish oilMarine omega 3 for skin and coat.
