Abound Grain-free is a small line of two recipes, one kibble and one wet food, and neither contains grain. Both recipes use more than one animal protein. The kibble lists deboned salmon and chicken meal first and also includes turkey. The wet food leads with chicken and adds beef, chicken liver and egg.
The kibble shows 25% protein, 15% fat and 41% estimated starch as fed. The catalog average for kibble is 26.9% protein and 37.4% estimated starch, so this recipe is a little lower in protein and a little higher in starch. The wet food shows 8% protein, 5% fat and 82% moisture, close to the wet food catalog average of 8.3% protein.
The trade-offs are clear on the label. Both recipes include peas or lentils and a potato ingredient, and the kibble lists sweet potatoes, garbanzo beans and peas among its first five ingredients. With only one recipe per format, the line offers no choice of protein level or flavor within kibble or within wet food.
