Our read The ingredients

A modest gut fiber in a familiar recipe

Signature feature

Microbiome Balance

Natural prebiotic fiber balances bacteria for gut & immune support

Purina says

What it is Purina's Microbiome Balance comes from dried chicory root, a fermentable fiber ingredient listed just before salt in this chicken, rice and corn kibble.

Our grade

  1. Marketing
  2. Modest
  3. Meaningful

Gut bacteria ferment chicory's inulin, giving Purina's gut claim a real mechanism. Chicory sits just before salt, so expect a modest effect on your dog's gut.

Modest Real, but smaller than the pack makes it sound.

Rice and two corn ingredients fill three of the first four slots, so chicken shares the bowl with substantial grain ingredients.

  • 2 rice
  • 3 corn protein meal
  • 4 whole grain corn
  • 14 Salt

Our read The label

Average protein with a small joint dose

The number

50mg

Minimum glucosamine for a 20 lb adult eating 1.5 cups daily. That adds little for a dog needing joint support.
  1. How was it proven?

    Feeding trial

    Purina fed this recipe to dogs under AAFCO procedures for adult maintenance, a more direct check than meeting nutrient targets on paper.

  2. Is protein especially high?

    No

    Protein is about average for dry food. Corn protein meal also contributes to the total behind the chicken first on the list.

Feed it to
Healthy adults that tolerate chicken and grains and need an everyday food with some gut fiber.
Skip it for
Puppies, dogs with chicken allergies, and dogs on a strict low fat diet.

    One honest caveat. These figures are what a label will tell us: protein, starch, the top of the ingredient list, flagged additives and the brand’s recall record. They cannot tell you whether your dog will do well on this food. Allergies, gut sensitivity, age and health conditions all matter more than any of it, and none of them are printed on a bag. If your dog is thriving on a food whose figures read lower than this one, that is not a mistake, and we would not switch on our say-so.
