Yarrah Sensitive review

Name: Yarrah Sensitive
Brand: Yarrah

42.8/100Average

DryAdult

A deliberately short organic recipe: paddy rice at 66.5%, dried chicken at 20% and a handful of small entries. One grain and one meat is the whole idea, and for a dog whose digestion has been unpredictable that plainness is the point. It lands in our Average band, with protein and fat both on the gentle side.

Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs with a sensitive stomach, the brief the recipe was written to
Dogs that get on with chicken and rice, the pairing most often reached for when digestion is fragile
Owners who want a short list where every entry has a job
Households buying organic. Nearly all the agricultural content is certified

Worth watching

Rice is two thirds of the recipe
MSC fish oil and an unnamed hydrolysed liver, the gaps for a formal elimination trial
A gentle 300 kcal per 100g, so bowls run a little larger than a richer kibble

The score, in context

Yarrah Sensitive 42.8

All one Average. Typical dry food: Good.

Rice taking two thirds of the bag holds it back, and on a food bought for a delicate stomach a short declared list is worth more than a long impressive one.

What's in it

Paddy rice66.5%The grain with its husk on, so more fibre than polished rice. The easy-ride cereal for a touchy gut.
Dried chicken20%The only meat, declared dried so the figure means what it says.
Rice protein
Chicken fat
Hydrolised liverNo species named. Broken small enough that most sensitive dogs handle it without noticing.
Minerals
MSC fish oilMarine omega 3s, and a second animal in the recipe.
Seaweed, spirulinaMinerals including iodine, and a dense green source of micronutrients.

Vitamins A, D3 and E with iodine, copper and selenium, printed as bare numbers with no unit, so no dose can be read off them.
