Flavour

A grain-free pair for growing dogs whose digestion needs an easier ride, both in our Good band. One bag is led by fresh venison, an uncommon meat in a growth food, the other by ocean white fish backed with fish meal. Protein is declared at 29.0% on each.

Our view

Likely to suit

Puppies who do better on a single named meat
Owners hunting for an uncommon protein in a growth food
Households feeding no grain at all
Pups whose joints are worth looking after early: glucosamine, MSM and chondroitin on each label
Owners who like to see the extras itemised with their doses

Worth watching

Refined chicken oil in both, so neither anchors a strict chicken-free elimination plan
Krill on both lists, which puts fish into the venison bowl
Calcium printed on the fish bag only, and above the usual large-breed level

The score, in context

Arden Grange Sensitive Grain Free Puppy 57.1
Ocean White Fish 53.0

All two Good. Typical dry food: Good.

The venison edges in front on a fuller label, while the fish recipe carries more finished animal protein through its fish meal.

What's in it

Fresh ocean white fish23%
Ocean white fish meal18%Already dried, so it brings more finished protein than the fresh fish.
Sweet potato, potato16%, 14%No cereal of any kind.
Refined chicken oil, potato proteinThe chicken oil means this is not chicken free.
Beet pulp, fish digestThe digest adds appeal from the same family.
Whole egg, whole linseed, krill, yeast
Minerals, citrus extracts, FOS, MOS, yucca extract0.1% citrus
Glucosamine, MSM, chondroitin
Dried elderberries, rosehips, black pepper, blackcurrants, blackberries340 to 190mg/kgSeasoning, with every dose printed.
Blueberries, raspberries, curcumin, cranberries, nucleotides150 to 100mg/kg

Vitamins A, D3 and E only are printed on this label.

Calcium converts to 1.74% of dry matter, above what large-breed growth plans usually work to. Talk to your vet for a pup expected to finish very big.

Moisture and energy are not printed, so the dry-matter and calorie figures are our estimates.

Against the range

Meat: Fresh fish 23% plus fish meal 18%; Venison: fresh venison 30% only
Calcium: 1.74% of dry matter; Not printed on the venison bag
Carbohydrate, dry matter: 40.8%; Venison 39.6%
Energy: 360 kcal per 100g, estimated; Venison 379, printed

More animal protein in the finished kibble, and the one to pick for a pup that suits fish and will finish small or medium.

Both recipes leave cereal out, with sweet potato at 16% leading the starch and potato behind it. One species leads each bowl, venison or ocean white fish, but refined chicken oil and krill appear on both lists. Potato protein tops up the analysis in each. The tails are unusually well itemised, from elderberries at 340 mg/kg down to curcumin at 100 mg/kg, with prebiotics, nucleotides and a joint set on both.
