Yora Superfood Large Breed review

Name: Yora Superfood Large Breed
Brand: Yora

56.4/100Good

DryAdult

Yora's insect kibble adjusted for a bigger frame, and it sits in our Good band. The oil share comes down, and the energy with it, while the joint support doubles up: MSM at 1000mg/kg beside chondroitin at 500mg/kg. Insect is 37.5% of the bag.

Our view

Likely to suit

Large breed adults, the only size Yora writes this bag for
Hips and elbows that need looking after, with both joint figures printed
Big dogs inclined to put on weight. Fat is held to 13.0% of dry matter
Feeding one animal only, since larvae are the sole animal source

Worth watching

Naked oats, so this one is not grain free
Potato protein part way down, a plant top-up that cannot do the larvae's job

The score, in context

Yora Superfood Large Breed 56.4

All one Good. Typical dry food: Good.

A three-part insect declaration and two dosed joint supplements earn the placing; the nutrition side is sound, close to the typical dry food on carbohydrate.

What's in it

Insect: insect meal, freshly prepared insect, insect oil37.5%Split 24.5%, 8.5% and 4.5%. Black soldier fly larvae, which also bring glucosamine the label credits without a figure.
Potato18.5%
Naked oats16.5%A hulless oat that sits easily with most dogs, but still a cereal.
Sweet potato, beet pulp8.5% and 5%
Minerals, vegetable stock, brewer's yeast, linseed
Potato proteinLifts the protein figure. Well down the list, so it is only topping up.
Seaweed meal, chicory root extract0.5% and 0.1%Minerals and iodine, then a prebiotic.
MSM, chondroitin1000 and 500 mg/kgThe point of the recipe for a dog whose later years will ask a lot of its hips.
Carrot, spinach, blueberry, nettle, parsley, rosemary, yucca extract, turmeric0.05% down to 0.005%Seasoning; yucca keeps the smell of the garden down.

Vitamins A, D3 and E, zinc as both oxide and an amino acid chelate, plus copper, iodine and selenium, all dosed.

No moisture on the label, so the dry-matter figures assume 8%.
