Our take on barking heads

Written by us, from the labels. Never written, reviewed or paid for by the brand.

Barking Heads writes the funniest packaging in the category - Fat Dog Slim, Golden Years, Puppy Days - and underneath the jokes the recipes are mostly serious.

Across the 24 foods we have rated it averages 80/100 (Very good), ranking 101 of 304. Declared meat is high: a wet food opening "85% Chicken, Sweet Potato, Carrot, Courgette, Peas" is an excellent label by any standard.

The dry side is a step down and worth reading properly. "Chicken 50%, Rice, Oats, Peas, Barley" is a good headline followed by three cereals, and that 50% is fresh weight, so the finished kibble contains meaningfully less chicken than the number suggests. Still a decent food. Just not the same food as the wet.

That is the pattern across this brand and the reason the spread is 15 points, from 69 to 84: the wet range and the dry range are not equivalent, and the packaging voice is identical across both.

Best here is Barking Heads Big Foot Puppy Days Dry at 84/100. Funny bag, real percentages. Check which half you are buying.
