The primary ingredient is chicken, offering a good source of animal protein. The formula is inferred to be AAFCO complete, meaning it meets basic nutritional standards.
The score is capped due to the macronutrient profile, specifically high carbohydrate and low fat percentages. It also lacks a declared source of omega-3 fatty acids.
Good fit for owners looking to add a protein topper to their dog's existing food. Less ideal as a standalone meal.

Sniff scored this formula 42/100, landing in D-tier territory. The biggest contributor was AAFCO compliance (+4 points): AAFCO formulation inferred from declared not stated. Verbatim statement not published by retailer. A hard cap of 49 also applied because the guaranteed analysis falls below AAFCO's minimum nutrient profile. Even without the cap, the base component scores sit below the next band. The structural fix would need to address fat quality as well.
