Abound Grain-free is a small line of two recipes, one kibble and one wet food, and neither lists grain. Both recipes do contain peas or lentils and potato, which matters for owners who avoid those ingredients.
The Salmon & Sweet Potato kibble leads with deboned salmon and chicken meal, with turkey also listed, and is labeled for all life stages. It shows 25% protein, 15% fat and 41% estimated starch as fed. Against the catalog average for kibble across 1,801 foods (26.9% protein, 37.4% starch), it runs a little lower in protein and higher in starch, with sweet potatoes, garbanzo beans and peas in its first five ingredients.
The Chicken, Beef & Vegetable in Gravy wet food uses chicken, beef and egg and shows 8% protein, 5% fat and 82% moisture, close to the 8.4% protein average across 773 wet foods. The trade-off is range: with one recipe per format, there is no choice of protein or figures within either format.
