The Solid Gold Hund-N-Flocken Line, Reviewed

5 recipes, read label by label

Hund-N-Flocken is built around lamb, chicken or beef paired with brown rice and pearled barley. All five recipes contain grain, and all five also contain peas or lentils. The line has four kibbles and one wet food. Fish appears in every kibble, and egg in three of the four.

The kibbles range from 22% to 28% protein, averaging 24.5%, and from 37% to 48% estimated starch, averaging 43.3%, with 335 to 400 kcal per cup. The catalog average for kibble is 26.9% protein, 37.4% starch and 395 kcal, all figures as fed. That puts the line lower in protein and higher in starch than most kibble. Only the Chicken recipe beats the catalog on both protein and starch. The single wet recipe, Lamb, lists 8.5% protein against a wet catalog average of 8.3%.

The trade-off is a grain-heavy kibble with more starch than typical, and the line's highest-protein option, the Chicken recipe, is listed as discontinued. Owners who avoid peas or lentils will find them in every recipe, and the wet Lamb also contains potato.

A GOOD FIT FOR
  • Owners who want grain-inclusive food with brown rice and barley
  • Dogs suited to moderate protein, 22% to 28% in kibble
  • Owners seeking a lower-calorie adult kibble at 335 kcal per cup
WORTH KNOWING
  • All five recipes contain peas or lentils, and the wet Lamb also contains potato.
  • The Chicken kibble, the line's highest-protein recipe at 28%, is listed as discontinued.
  • Kibble estimated starch spans 37% to 48%, so recipes with similar names differ noticeably.
