“A respectable mid-tier option for dogs needing grain-inclusive, gentle nutrition, but premium pricing isn't justified by the modest protein content or ingredient hierarchy.”
Our Review
Rachael Ray's Nutrish Chicken & Brown Rice formula offers decent mid-range nutrition with visible whole ingredients and no artificial colors or flavors. The kibble size works well for small to medium dogs, and most dogs find it palatable. However, the protein content sits at a modest 22%, which is below premium standards, and chicken meal appears as the third ingredient rather than fresh chicken. The brown rice base provides solid carbohydrate sourcing, and the added veggies and fruit are genuinely present, not just marketing fluff. The two-bag pack offers convenience, though pricing per pound runs higher than comparable brands with similar nutritional profiles.
What We Like
- No artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives; uses mixed tocopherols as natural preservative
- Visible whole food ingredients with identifiable vegetables and fruit pieces throughout kibble
- Good digestibility for dogs with mild sensitivities; brown rice is gentle on most systems
Watch Out For
- Protein level at 22% is underwhelming for an adult dog food; chicken meal is third ingredient rather than primary protein source
- Price-per-pound significantly higher than store brands with comparable nutritional values
The Verdict
“A respectable mid-tier option for dogs needing grain-inclusive, gentle nutrition, but premium pricing isn't justified by the modest protein content or ingredient hierarchy.”
