Honest Kitchen Whole Food Clusters Small Breed vs Nulo FreeStyle Small Breed Salmon & Lentils

Both are grain-free dry foods built for small mouths, but they pull in different directions. The Honest Kitchen uses human-grade, cold-pressed clusters with whole-food ingredients and probiotics, and owners report dogs with sensitive stomachs doing well on it. Nulo FreeStyle is a conventional extruded kibble with higher protein (31% vs 26.5%), higher fat, added omega-3s and L-carnitine, and a salmon base for dogs that avoid chicken. Reviewers praise Honest Kitchen's ingredient quality and kibble size but call the clusters hard and note older dogs may need them softened; Nulo is the leaner, more conventional pick with a strong protein profile.

• Choose the Honest Kitchen Whole Food Clusters if you want human-grade whole-food ingredients, a chicken recipe, and a food that doubles as training treats for a small dog.
• Choose the Nulo FreeStyle Small Breed if you want higher protein and fat, added omega-3s and L-carnitine, or a salmon-based food instead of chicken.
