69.6/100Good

DryPuppy

A Good-band growth kibble with the whole animal side on fish, itemised down to the salmon stock. Salmon, haddock and white fish make up 60% of the recipe, and the supplements at the end come with their doses printed. Calcium is declared and converts to 1.41% of dry matter, the figure large-breed rearing turns on.

Our view

Likely to suit

Puppies kept off meat. Fish is the only animal group named anywhere
Large and giant breed pups, with calcium declared and inside the range growth calls for
Early joint support: glucosamine at 170mg/kg and chondroitin sulphate at 125 mg/kg, both printed
Grain-free homes, where sweet potato at 20% and potato take the cereal's place
Pups with unsettled digestion, given FOS, MOS and nucleotides on the list

Worth watching

White fish names no species, and the omega 3 supplement names no source
More starch than the fish headline suggests, with carbohydrate estimated at 42.0% of dry matter
Lean for a growth food at 343 kcal per 100g, so bowls run fuller

The score, in context

Angell Superior Puppy 69.6

All one Good. Typical dry food: Good.

All-round soundness puts it level with the typical puppy kibble, and the detail on the label (broken-out fish, printed doses, declared calcium) is what lifts it.

Pricing & size

Price per kilo: £6.04 (RRP)
Pack: 3kg Pet / Working Dog, 6kg Pet / Working Dog, 13.5kg Pet / Working Dog, 27kg Pet / Working Dog
A 15kg dog eats: 235 g a day
Cost per day, 15kg dog: £1.42

A pup's ration rises as it grows, so the daily cost climbs with it.

Middle of the market for a dry food, and fair value for the quality.
