Our view

Likely to suit

Small-breed adults, for whom the kibble is shaped and portioned
Busy little dogs: fat at 16.3% of dry matter and 358 kcal in every 100g
Dogs kept off the usual meats. Insect is the only animal ingredient
A properly declared joint entry, with chondroitin at 500mg/kg

Worth watching

Naked oats are a cereal, so this is not for a strictly grain-free plan
A rich kibble. Keep the scoop honest for a quieter small dog

The score, in context

Yora Superfood Small Breed 56.6

All one Good. Typical dry food: Good.

The analysis does the lifting, with carbohydrate held to 42.0% of dry matter, and a label that quantifies even its smallest entries earns the transparency pillar its Outstanding.

What's in it

Insect: meal, freshly prepared, oil43% (27.5%, 8.5%, 7%)Black soldier fly larvae. The meal goes in dry, so its full share reaches the bowl; the oil is why fat reads high.
Potato20%
Naked oats18%Hulless, so one of the easier cereals on a dog's digestion.
Beet pulp5%Gentle, fermentable fibre.
Vegetable stock, minerals, brewer's yeast
LinseedThe omega source. No fish anywhere on the list.
Potato proteinLifts the protein total; the larvae are the figure that counts.
Seaweed meal, chicory root extract0.5%, 0.1%Iodine and minerals; prebiotic FOS.
Chondroitin500mg/kgFor the joints, dosed on the label.
Carrot, spinach, blueberry, nettle, parsley, rosemary, yucca, turmeric0.05% down to 0.005%Yucca is the practical one, to soften stool odour.

Vitamins A, D3 and E, copper, iodine and selenium, with zinc twice: as an oxide and as an amino acid chelate, the form dogs take up more easily.

No moisture figure on the label, so the dry-matter figures rest on an assumed 8%.
