🦴 Protein Score: ⭐ 2.5/5
Crude Protein: 23% (Good but on the lower side for adult dogs)
Main Sources: Chicken meal, chickpeas
Why not higher?
Chickpeas appear in the top five, contributing plant-based protein that slightly lowers digestibility compared to all-meat sources.
Protein percentage could be higher.
🔥 Fat Score: ⭐ 2.5/5
Crude Fat: 13% (Great level for adult dogs)
Fat Sources: Poultry oil, fish oil (Fish oil too low in quantity to qualify as balanced mix)
Omega-6 to Omega-3 Ratio: estimated 7:1—within the acceptable range for adult maintenance
🥩 Ingredient Quality Score: ⭐ 3.5/5
Transparency: Mixed—vague terms like “poultry oil,” “natural flavouring,” and “vegetable mix”
Filler Alert! Wheat and sorghum high in ingredient list
Functional Boost! Fish oil, chicory root, antioxidants
⚡ Caloric Density Score: ⭐ 5/5
Calories: 356 kcal/100g (Ideal for adult dogs)
⭐ 3.5 / 5
Not bad, not brilliant—like a supermarket chook, it’ll fill the bowl, but don’t expect fine dining. Clean enough for daily feeding, but the vague bits and filler fluff keep it from rising to the top shelf.
The Quick Bite
This chicken kibble’s a decent all-rounder—chicken meal leads the charge, and there’s enough fish oil, prebiotics, and antioxidants to tick the functional box. It’s got a decent omega balance (7:1) and calorie count (356 kcal/100g), making it fine for daily feeding. But it’s not winning any transparency awards—generic poultry oil, vague "natural flavours," and a “seasonable veg mix” raise a few eyebrows. Toss in wheat, sorghum, and some chickpeas for padding, and you’ve got a feed that does the job—but won’t blow your socks off.
What It Gets Right
✔️ Named meat meal (chicken) as the primary protein
✔️ Functional support from fish oil, prebiotics, and antioxidants
✔️ Moderate calorie level (356 kcal/100g)—suitable for most adult dogs
✔️ No flagged artificial preservatives or colorants
Where It Falls Short
❌ Chickpeas appear early in the ingredient list, slightly reducing protein purity
❌ Poultry oil is a generic fat source—low transparency and possible quality concerns
❌ Contains moderate fillers like wheat and sorghum
❌ Vague terms like “natural flavouring” and “seasonable vegetable mix” reduce clarity
