Fromm Nutritionals is built around purpose named recipes: three kibbles and three pâté toppers sold for mobility, digestive support, sensitive skin and stomach, or immunity. Every recipe contains grain, and none of the six lists peas, lentils or potato. Fish and egg appear in all three kibbles, and chicken appears in all three toppers.
The kibbles run 24% to 26% protein and 40% to 48% estimated starch as fed, against a catalog kibble average of 26.9% protein and 37.4% starch. Calories range from 329 to 389 kcal per cup, all below the catalog kibble average of 394.6. Two kibbles start with a hydrolyzed protein, chicken in one and salmon in the other. The toppers carry 7% to 9% protein at 78% moisture, compared with a catalog topper average of 18.6% protein.
The trade-off is a kibble lineup that leans on oats, barley and rice, giving more starch and a little less protein than the typical kibble. Owners looking for grain free or high protein food will not find it here. Owners who want grain inclusive, pea free recipes sold for a specific purpose have a clear set to choose from.
