Our verdict

Is Naturo Adult Dog Chicken Superfoods - Grain Free Dog Food a good dog food?

We score it 75/100 (Good). This reflects the ingredient quality, composition and label transparency of the recipe as declared on the label.

Complete wet paté food for adult dogs, with chicken, vegetables and sweet potatoes as the main ingredients.

How we score

Why you might choose it

  • Meat makes up an estimated 49% of the dry matter (70% as fed).
  • Prints ingredient percentages on the label.
  • Doesn't list grain ingredients.

Why you might not

  • High in fat: 30% fat on a dry-matter basis.

Who is this food for?

Suits

  • Labelled by the manufacturer for adult dogs
  • Grain-free: no grain ingredients listed
  • Doesn't list beef, turkey, lamb, venison, pork, duck as ingredients

Consider something else if:

  • Your dog avoids chicken: the label lists chicken
  • Your dog avoids fish: the label lists salmon oil
  • You want a single-protein recipe: this one lists more than one animal protein
  • You are limiting fat: 29.6% on a dry-matter basis is in the high band

These points are derived from declared ingredients and analysis, not a substitute for veterinary advice. If your dog has a diagnosed condition, food choice is a medical nutrition decision: speak to your vet. Find foods that fit your dog.

Nutritional: declared analysis vs reference ranges

How the declared analysis compares with FEDIAF reference ranges for adult dogs. The label prints as-fed values; we convert to a dry-matter basis before scoring, and the bands are dry-matter ranges. Scores rise to 100 at the band midpoint: the reference is adequacy, not maximisation. Nutrients with a published upper limit taper again above it; fat is policed through calorie density rather than a direct penalty.

NutrientAs fed (label)Dry matter (scored)Score
Protein933.3 (band 21 to 40%)100
Fat829.6 (band 6.416666666666667 to 20%)100
Fibre0.51.9 (band 0.5 to 5%)88
Energy (kcal/100g)126466.7100

Scored over 4 declared nutrients (combined weight 60); undeclared nutrients do not affect the score.

Declared fortification: 7 nutritional additives on the label
  • Vitamin A 2,500 IU
  • Vitamin D3 350 IU
  • Vitamin E 40 mg
  • Zinc (Zinc Sulphate, Monohydrate) 24 mg
  • Iron (Iron (II) Sulphate Monohydrate) 15 mg
  • Copper (Copper (II) Sulphate Pentahydrate) 4 mg
  • Manganese (Manganous Sulphate Monohydrate) 3.5 mg

Medium confidence: the full five-part analysis is on file; where moisture was not declared it was estimated from the food type.

This measures agreement with published reference ranges, not suitability for an individual dog. For medical conditions, follow veterinary guidance.

Transparency: what the label discloses

How much the manufacturer discloses, measured against the FEDIAF Code of Good Labelling Practice and Regulation 767/2009. Mandatory items dominate the weighting.

Evidence: what the brand claims, and what supports it

The claims made on the pack and product page, checked against the declared label. We record claims as stated; "consistent" means our stored label data supports the claim, "contradicted" means it conflicts with it. Functional claims are recorded but never scored.

100/100 · moderate — 1 checkable claim: 1 consistent, 0 contradicted.

  • "Grain-free" — supported by the declared grain-free data.
