Our Verdict
Yumwoof Air-Dried product range is made up of two recipes which each receive the Dog Food Advisor’s rating, 3.5 stars.
These foods combine coconut oil and omega-3 fatty acids to relieve skin allergies and support your dog’s digestion. However it has a high fat-to-protein ratio which means it is more suitable for active dogs/working breeds.
Pros
- Non-GMO ingredients
- USDA meat
- Gently air-dried so the natural nutrients remain
Cons
- High fat-to-protein ratio

Ingredients Analysis
The first ingredient is fresh cage-free chicken. Chicken is considered “the clean combination of flesh and skin… derived from the parts or whole carcasses of chicken”.1
Chicken is naturally rich in the 10 essential amino acids required by a dog to sustain life.
The second ingredient is whole eggs. Eggs are easy to digest and have an exceptionally high biological value.
The third ingredient is organic coconut oil, a natural oil rich in medium-chain fatty acids.
Medium-chain triglycerides have been shown to improve cognitive function in older dogs.2
Because of its proven safety3 as well as its potential to help in the treatment of canine cognitive dysfunction syndrome (CDS) and chronic skin disorders, MCT can be considered a positive addition to this recipe.
The fourth ingredient is organic coconut glycerine. Glycerine is used in the food industry as a natural sweetener and as a humectant to help preserve the moisture content of a product.
The fifth ingredient is organic flaxseed, one of the best plant sources of healthy omega-3 fatty acids. Provided they’ve first been ground into a meal, flax seeds are also rich in soluble fiber.
However, flaxseed contains about 19% protein, a factor that must be considered when judging the actual meat content of this dog food.
The fifth ingredient is carrots. Carrots are rich in beta-carotene, minerals and dietary fiber.
The sixth ingredient is gluten-free oats. Oats are rich in B-vitamins, minerals and dietary fiber.
The next two ingredients are blueberries and cranberries, both are a good source of vitamins, minerals and dietary fiber.
The ninth ingredient is chia seed, an edible seed nutritionally similar to flax or sesame. Provided they’re first ground into a meal, chia seeds are rich in both omega-3 fatty acids as well as dietary fiber.
However, chia seeds contain about 17% protein, a factor that must be considered when judging the meat content of this dog food.
From here the list goes on to include a number of other items. But to be realistic, ingredients located this far down the list (other than nutritional supplements) are not likely to affect the overall rating of the product.
This recipe has two notable exceptions.
First, seaweed. Seaweed is rich in vitamins and minerals.
Also, since this recipe contains a number of organic ingredients, we feel compelled to grant this review a more favorable status as we consider its final rating.
That’s because organic ingredients must comply with notably more stringent government standards — standards which significantly restrict the use of any synthetic pesticides, herbicides, insecticides, hormones or antibiotics.
Nutrient Analysis
Based on its ingredients alone, Yumwoof Perfect Kibble Coconut Chicken looks like an above-average dry product.
The dashboard displays a dry matter protein reading of 30.4%, a fat level of 29.8% and an estimated carbohydrate level of 16.7%.
As a group, the brand features a protein content of 29.1% and a mean fat level of 28.5%. Together these figures suggest a carbohydrate content of 15.7% for the overall product line, alongside a fat-to-protein ratio of 98%.
This means this Yumwoof air-dried range contains near-average protein, near-average carbohydrate and above-average fat, when compared to typical dry dog food.

Our Rating of Yumwoof Perfect Kibble Dog Food
Yumwoof’s Perfect Kibble air-dried range is made from high-quality ingredients and incorporates organic produce. However, it received a lower star rating than the ingredients would suggest due to its high fat-to-protein ratio.
About
Yumwoof was founded by a husband and wife team in November 2020. It’s based in Austin, Texas.
The company produces air-dried dog food personalized to your dog’s needs, but it is unclear whether it operates its own processing plant or relies on a third-party manufacturer.
