Our read The ingredients
Fiber matters here; the probiotic plays backup
Signature feature
Fiber and probiotics
Pumpkin, apples and probiotics help support digestion
What it is Oats and flaxseed sit near the top. Pumpkin and apples come after salt; dried Bacillus coagulans, the probiotic ingredient, is near the end.
Our grade
- Marketing
- Modest
- Meaningful
Honest Kitchen says this supports digestion. Oats and flaxseed supply fiber that adds bulk to stool, while pumpkin, apples and the probiotic sit below salt and likely contribute little.
Modest Real, but smaller than the pack makes it sound.
Chicken leads, but oats and barley follow immediately. Grains make up a major part of this recipe, despite the chicken name.
