Old Mother Hubbard Classic P-Nuttier ‘N Nanners (Peanut Butter & Bananas)
Graded by The Sniff System
Wellness Old Mother Hubbard Classic P-Nuttier ‘N Nanners is a dry food, flavored with peanut butter and bananas, that appears to be plant-based.
There isn't much to highlight here. The formula is inferred to meet AAFCO standards, but the verbatim statement isn't published, which is the bare minimum for commercial dog food.
This formula is plant-protein dominated, with potato as the first ingredient. It also contains added sugar, cane molasses, which is nutritionally unjustifiable in a complete dog diet. The protein and fat levels are also very low.
Hard to recommend for any dog due to the plant-heavy, low-protein formulation and added sugar.

Concerning grade. 23/100 (F) reflects the structural fit of this formula against The Sniff System's eight scoring components. AAFCO compliance did the heavy lifting (+4 points): AAFCO formulation inferred from declared not stated. Verbatim statement not published by retailer. What capped it: the score can't exceed 49 because the guaranteed analysis falls below AAFCO's minimum nutrient profile. Removing the cap alone wouldn't change the band. Protein quality is the deeper issue.

Standard white potato. Steady carb source, common starch in grain-free recipes.
Position 1: meaningful whole-food inclusion. Source of vitamins, antioxidants, or natural fiber.
- 2legumepeas
Cheap protein bulk. Fine in small amounts, but when peas stack with lentils and chickpeas in the top ingredients, it's the pattern the FDA flagged in its heart-disease investigation. See why →
Position 2. Pulse-family ingredient this high in the deck is a notable build choice. When stacked with other pulses in the top 10, matches the formulation pattern the FDA flagged in its diet-associated DCM investigation.

Added sugar from sugar cane. Used for palatability or texture. Dogs don't need added sugar.

Plant source of omega-3. Helpful for skin and coat, though dogs absorb omega-3 from fish more efficiently.
Position 7: trace fat. Below the level that materially shifts the fat profile.
