🦴 Protein Score: ⭐ 3/5
Crude Protein: 25% (Great for Small Dogs)
Main Sources: Chicken Meal, Turkey Meal
Why Not Higher?
Protein content could be higher.
Protein is not first ingredient listed, suggesting a carb heavy formula.
Food uses chicken meal as the primary protein, the secondary meat source (turkey meal) appears further down the list, meaning it likely contributes less to overall protein content.
🔥 Fat Score: ⭐ 2/5
Fat Content: 9% (Too Low for Small Dogs)
Fat Sources: Chicken Fat, Sunflower Oil
Omega-6 to Omega-3 Ratio: estimated 11:1 (Slightly high, causing a penalty)
⚠️ While 9% fat is safe, it may not be the most optimal for long-term weight control due to potential hunger, slowing metabolism and a less ideal fatty acid balance.
🥩 Ingredient Quality Score: ⭐ 3.5/5
Ingredient Transparency: Mostly clear apart from 'Natural flavour'
Filler Alert! Contains sorghum (moderate filler).
Functional Boost! Includes Green Lipped Mussel (Joint Support), L-Carnitine (Metabolism), Chondroitin & Glucosamine (Joint Health).
⚡ Caloric Density Score: ⭐ 4/5
Calories: 345 kcal/100g (Good for a weight management formula).
⭐ 3.4 / 5
Like a chicken sanga on thin bread—light, reliable, and does the trick, but won’t keep ya full 'til dinner.
The Quick Bite
If your little mate’s carrying a bit of extra cargo, this formula’s got the basics to help lighten the load. With 25% protein from chicken meal, green-lipped mussel for joint support, and L-carnitine to kickstart the metabolism, it’s built for trimming down. But with only 9% fat and high carb content (rice is first ingredient), some pups might be left staring at the empty bowl, and the omega ratio (11:1) doesn’t quite nail coat and skin support. A decent choice for weight loss, just not the most balanced for the long haul.
What It Gets Right
✔ Decent protein (25%)—supports lean muscle mass while losing weight.
✔ Joint & metabolism support—Green Lipped Mussel, L-Carnitine, and Glucosamine are great additions.
✔ Moderate calorie content (345 kcal/100g)—designed for weight management.
Where It Falls Short
❌ Very low fat (9%) and high in carbs—won't keep dogs full for long.
❌ Slightly high omega-6 to omega-3 ratio (11:1)—not the best for inflammation control.
❌ Contains sorghum (moderate filler)—not a completely filler-free option.
❌ Protein is not first ingredient (rice is first).
