The Quick Bite

A rich, muscle-fuelling, fat-powered feast that delivers big energy in a small scoop. With whole Aussie chicken, no plant protein, and a powerhouse blend of oils, this one’s built for performance and long-haul vitality. It’s got strong joint and gut support, a lovely omega profile, and a mostly clean label — just dinged slightly for some vague rice wording and a mild carb load. Still, it’s cluckin’ impressive.

What It Gets Right

✔️ Top protein levels (30%) – all protein comes from whole chicken and organs.
✔️ Huge fat content (34%) – supports endurance, condition, and brain health.
✔️ Excellent fat profile – algae oil, flaxseed, sunflower, and evening primrose.
✔️ Balanced omega ratio (~3.8:1) – ideal for coat, joints, and inflammation support.
✔️ Strong functional support – includes glucosamine, postbiotics, taurine, EPA/DHA.

Where It Falls Short

❌ Moderate carb load – white rice appears early, slightly diluting protein density.
❌ Label clarity could improve – phrases like “rice (including brown rice)” and “natural antioxidants” knock down transparency.
❌ High calorie content (475 kcal/100g) – not a flaw, but needs careful portioning, especially for less active dogs.
