Yarrah Adult Vega review

Name: Yarrah Adult Vega
Brand: Yarrah

37.4/100Average

DryAdult

A fully plant-based kibble, organic almost line by line, with no animal ingredient anywhere. It lands in our Average band because there is no animal protein to reward. Yarrah tops the recipe up with taurine and the other nutrients a meat-free bowl needs most.

Our view

Likely to suit

Meat-free households that want their dog on the same principle
Dogs that have reacted to the usual meats
Households buying organic
Dogs kept off fish. There is no fish oil or fish meal

Worth watching

Soy beans lead the list, if your dog has had trouble with soy
Lupin is in the peanut family, for a home already careful about legumes
Vitamin and trace element figures printed with no units, so they cannot be read as doses

The score, in context

Yarrah Adult Vega 37.4

All one Average. Typical dry food: Good.

Nearly all the gap to the typical adult dry food traces back to the missing meat; the analysis itself is steady.

What's in it

Soy beansDo the heavy lifting on protein.
Green peas
TapiocaThe binder, starch with very little else.
Coconut fatThe only fat named, so nothing marine.
Rice proteinA third protein source, grain derived.
LupinSame family as peanut.
Sunflower seed husksPush crude fibre to 7.9% of dry matter.
Minerals, brewer's yeastYeast is a good natural source of B vitamins.
Baobab, dried seaweedSeaweed for iodine.

Taurine is added, which counts for more on a meat-free food, along with vitamins and trace elements printed without units.

The vitamin and trace element panel gives bare numbers with no units, so the doses cannot be checked.
