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

Chicken 72.6

All two Excellent. Typical dry food: Good.

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

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

60% Salmon, Haddock & Blue Whiting, (21% Freshly Prepared Salmon, 16% Salmon Meal, 11% Freshly Prepared Blue Whiting, 10% Freshly Prepared Haddock & 2% Salmon Stock), Sweet Potato (14%), Potato, Beet Pulp, Peas, Linseed, Omega 3 Supplement, Vitamins & Minerals, Vegetable Stock, Asparagus (0.2%), 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: Salmon, blue whiting, haddock; Chicken, turkey and salmon on the other.
Sweet potato: 14%; 19% on the poultry.
Fibre, as declared: 3.0%; 2.3% on the poultry.
Energy: 373 kcal per 100g; 361 on the poultry.

The one when poultry is off the menu, and the higher scorer of the two.

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.
