DryPuppy

Flavour

Two Excellent grain-free puppy kibbles that spell out exactly what sits behind the 60% on the front of the bag. Each label separates fresh meat from dried, so you can see where the protein really comes from. The joint and prebiotic extras are printed with doses.

The score, in context

Steam Cooked Fish 75.3
Chicken 72.6

All two Excellent. Typical dry food: Good.

Itemisation earns the band on both, with the fish edging ahead of the poultry.

What's in it

Freshly prepared chicken, chicken meal20%, 14%The meal arrives dry, so it gives more protein than its share suggests.
Freshly prepared turkey, dried turkey7% each
Freshly prepared salmon, dried salmon7%, 3%Fish in a poultry-led recipe.
Chicken stock2%
Sweet potato, potatoSweet potato 19%The binding, with no cereal.
Linseed, beet pulp, omega 3 supplementPlant omega 3 and a well tolerated fibre.
Minerals, vitamins
Carrot, peas, vegetable stock25g and 8.5g per kilo of product: garnish, and the label says as much.
Glucosamine, methylsulfonylmethane, chondroitin sulphate170, 170 and 125 mg/kgReal working doses, a habit worth forming in a dog that will get big.
Nucleotides, FOS, MOSFOS 92 mg/kg, MOS 23 mg/kgFeed the gut bacteria from two directions.

No separate additive panel: vitamins, minerals and the omega 3 supplement are named inside the composition, without doses.

No calcium figure on the label, though the recipe is offered up to giant breeds. Ask before rearing a big pup on it.

Named ingredients

Chicken Turkey & Salmon 60%, (including 20% Freshly Prepared Chicken, 14% Chicken Meal, 7% Freshly Prepared Turkey, 7% Freshly Prepared Salmon, 7% Dried Turkey, 3% Dried Salmon & 2% Chicken Stock), Sweet Potato 19%, Potato, Linseed, Beet Pulp, Omega 3 Supplement, Minerals, Vitamins, Carrot (equivalent to 25g per Kg of product), Peas (equivalent to 8.5g per Kg of product), Vegetable Stock, Glucosamine (170 mg/kg), Methylsulfonylmethane (170 mg/kg), Chondroitin Sulphate (125 mg/kg), Nucleotides, FOS (92 mg/kg), MOS (23 mg/kg)

Against the range

Animals: Chicken, turkey, salmon; Salmon, blue whiting and haddock only on the fish.
Sweet potato: 19%; 14% on the fish.
Fat, as declared: 15.0%; 14% on the fish.

The poultry recipe, and with salmon running through it, not the fish-free one.

Both recipes put a 60% animal share on the front and break it into fresh, dried and stock parts. The fresh meat loses its water in the oven while the dried arrives without any, which is how 60% yields 28.0% declared protein. Sweet potato and potato bind both, with no cereal, and the joint and prebiotic doses are identical.

Carbohydrate converts to 42.1% and 42.9% of dry matter, above the 39.0% typical for puppy kibble. Neither label prints calcium.
