Name: Bakers Edward Baker Puppy
Brand: Bakers

49.8/100Average

DryPuppy

A turkey-led puppy kibble built on wheat and corn, sitting in our Average band. Turkey meal at 27% is the only named meat, and the dried form means that share survives the oven. Chicory root and fish oil are genuine additions, though small ones.

Our view

Likely to suit

Pups that get on with turkey, the one meat named, at 27% in dried form
Owners who like the prebiotic side measured: dried chicory root at 0.5%
Steadier pups with a modest appetite. Our energy estimate of 354 kcal per 100g sits under the 376 typical of puppy dry food
Fish oil on a growth label, for omega 3
A pup that does well on a plain grain-based kibble

Worth watching

Wheat, corn and soya meal, for a pup already reacting to grain or soya
Animal fats and digest with no species, so no use for an elimination diet
No calcium figure, though the food is offered for pups up to giant size
Carbohydrate at an estimated 42.8% of dry matter against 39.0% typical

The score, in context

Bakers Edward Baker Puppy 49.8

All one Average. Typical dry food: Good.

An even result: no single line drags the score down, the shape of a grain-led recipe with one meat at the top does.

What's in it

Turkey meal27%Dried, so the share holds through cooking. Leaner than chicken and easy on the digestion.
Wheat, cornWheat is the ingredient intolerance turns up against most often.
Soya mealPlant protein a dog uses less well than meat, so part of the declared protein is not turkey.
Animal fatsEnergy, with no animal named.
Wheat middlings, rice
Dried beet pulpFibre.
DigestThe flavouring. No species given.
Dried chicory root0.5%A proper prebiotic for the bacteria in the lower gut.
Minerals, fish oilFish oil brings marine omega 3 for skin, coat and brain.
Dried carrot, spinach, parsley0.07% eachSeasoning, little more.

Vitamins A, D3 and E with iron, iodine, copper, manganese and zinc as standard salts, and selenium as sodium selenite.

No calcium figure on the label, and the food is sold for pups of every adult size. Ask Bakers before rearing a large breed on it.

Against the range

One growth recipe with one named meat. Turkey meal at 27% opens the list, then wheat, corn, soya meal and more cereal fill the upper half. Animal fats and digest name no animal, and the small additions at the end (chicory root, fish oil, a pinch of vegetables) are named and measured.
