Bob & Lush Puppy Wet: Hypoallergenic 70% Lamb with Carrots (pouches) review

Name: Bob & Lush Puppy Wet: Hypoallergenic 70% Lamb with Carrots (pouches)
Brand: Bob & Lush

56.6/100Good

WetPuppy

Flavour

About as short an ingredients list as a growing dog is likely to meet, and the tinned form sits in our Outstanding band. Five entries, one animal, offal named and the growth calcium actually printed. The pouches carry the same recipe and land in Good, because their label publishes less.

Where to buy: coming soon

Live retailer links are coming soon. Once we have them from UK retailers, where to buy and the best price will appear here.

Our view

Likely to suit

Puppies kept to a single animal. Even the broth is lamb
Owners who like offal named, with heart, liver and tripe printed inside the 70%
Small and medium breed puppies, well served by the declared calcium
Topping up a dry diet with something wetter

Worth watching

Calcium at 1.67% of dry matter is above where large and giant breed growth plans usually aim
Rich at 33.3% fat in dry matter, so weigh portions for a settled pup
On the pouches, no additive panel and an estimated energy figure

The details

Dog fit

Listed for puppies of every size, but the calcium level suits small and medium pups best. For a pup expected to finish big, work that figure into the feeding plan first.

The score, in context

Bob & Lush Puppy Wet 80.0
Hypoallergenic 70% Lamb 56.6

Two recipes across Outstanding and Good. Typical wet food: Excellent.

The tins and pouches hold the same food, and the gap in score comes from what the pouch label leaves out.

Choosing the pouch is choosing a format, not a different food.

One recipe in two formats. Lamb makes up 70% as meat, heart, liver and tripe, lamb broth another 23%, then carrots at 5% with minerals and linseed oil at 1% each. Lamb is the only animal, broth included. Calcium is declared at 1.67% of dry matter, and carbohydrate converts to just 6.7%. The tins print their additive panel and energy figure; the pouches print neither.
