Scrumbles Turkey Dry Dog Food 7.5kg vs Pooch & Mutt - Primal High Protein Grain Free Dry Dog Food (Small Sized Kibble), Lamb And Ostrich Flavour, 1.5kg

Pros

• ✓50% free-run turkey as primary ingredient — no by-products or vague meat derivatives
• ✓Excellent digestive outcomes reported: firmer stools, reduced upset stomachs, especially in sensitive breeds
• ✓High palatability — fussy dogs eating immediately, including small breeds
• ✓Added probiotics and slippery elm provide meaningful gut health support beyond basic nutrition

Cons

• ✗One reviewer noted a perceived drop in meat quality, suggesting possible batch or recipe variation over time
• ✗Not formulated for puppies — adult and senior only, limiting household versatility
• ✗At least one dog showed skin itching, though likely environmental rather than dietary in that case
• ✗Premium price point typical for this ingredient tier may not suit all budgets

Best For

Pros

• ✓80% named meat from four distinct protein sources (lamb, ostrich, chicken, salmon) — no vague 'meat derivatives' or by-products
• ✓Small kibble size well-suited to toy and small breeds
• ✓Free from grain, gluten, soy, dairy, artificial additives, and GM ingredients — strong hypoallergenic credentials
• ✓Functional additions: prebiotics, glucosamine, chondroitin, spirulina, and turmeric support gut, joint, and immune health

Cons

• ✗Grain-free diet association with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) remains an open debate; not recommended as sole long-term diet without veterinary guidance for predisposed breeds
• ✗One reviewer reported digestive upset in a sensitive-stomach dog — the high-protein, novel-protein formula may not suit all dogs during transition
• ✗Premium price per kg (approx. £10–13/kg for 1.5kg pack) limits value for larger dogs or multi-dog households
• ✗Fulfilment inconsistency noted: at least one customer received large kibble instead of small as ordered
