Nulo Functional Granola Bars Omega Treats
Treat complementary
Is Nulo Functional Granola Bars Omega Treats a good dog food?
This is a treat, not a complete diet, so it is not scored on our 1-100 scale. The ingredient breakdown below shows what is in it; a treat should be fed alongside, not instead of, a complete diet.
Only part of the analytical constituents are declared, so the nutritional picture is incomplete.
100% of this recipe has no printed percentage. Estimated shares are model estimates, not label facts.

Complementary treats for dogs of all life stages, with oats, honey and oat flour as the main ingredients.
Why you might choose it
The data we hold shows no standout strengths for this product.
Why you might not
- A treat, not a complete diet: feed as an extra, not the whole diet.
- Low in protein: 14% protein on a dry-matter basis.
- Meat makes up an estimated 0% of the dry matter; carbohydrates dominate.
What the label tells us
- The label lists 15 ingredients.
- Lists no artificial colours or preservatives.
- Prints no ingredient quantities.
Why is this treat not scored?
Our 1 to 100 rating applies to complete diets, so treats and complementary foods are presented as what the label tells us rather than a number that would invite comparison with complete meals.
What should I look for on a treat label?
A short ingredient list, named animal sources instead of generic terms, and no artificial colours or preservatives. Printed quantities are a good transparency signal, though few treat labels provide them.
These points are derived from the published ingredient list, not a rating.

Who is this food for?
Suits
- Labelled by the manufacturer for all lifestages
- Doesn't list chicken, beef, turkey, lamb, fish, venison, pork, duck as ingredients
Consider something else if:
- Your dog avoids grain: the label lists oats
- You need more protein than this: 13.6% on a dry-matter basis is in the low band

This is not a complete diet, so the 1-100 rating does not apply to it. Read the recipe breakdown above as ingredient-quality context only.
Score history across model versions
