Overview

This recipe pairs real chicken with non-GMO ingredients and an omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acid ratio that Nutro formulates specifically to support skin and coat health, alongside general digestive and immune support claims.

The 5 lb bag is priced at $15.97, a smaller and more affordable size than larger bags in the Nutro lineup, which makes it easy to store and keeps kibble fresher for a single small dog eating modest portions.

With 6,858 ratings averaging 4.7 stars and roughly 4,000 units bought in the past month, this smaller bag size is clearly just as well liked and frequently repurchased as bigger formulas in the same line.

Pros

  • Real chicken and non-GMO ingredients in a brown rice recipe
  • Added omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids formulated for skin and coat health
  • Smaller 5 lb bag size is easy to store and keeps kibble fresher for a single small dog
  • 4.7 stars across nearly 6,900 ratings with about 4,000 units bought last month

Cons

  • Not a grain-free formula
  • 5 lb bag will need frequent reordering for anything beyond one small dog
  • Guaranteed analysis and calorie counts aren't listed here, check the bag
