Our view

Likely to suit

Fast-growing, hard-playing pups. 409 kcal per 100g against the 376 typical
A lower-footprint protein without giving up meat
Pups that will finish large or giant, with calcium inside the growth range
Homes raising pups of different eventual sizes on one bag
Owners who like doses printed, glucosamine and chondroitin included

Worth watching

Real energy density, so level the scoop for a steadier pup and check the ribs weekly
Oats at 26%, for anyone feeding grain free
Chicken as dried meat, hydrolysate and fat, so a poultry-free pup is not covered

The score, in context

Brit Care Dog Sustainable Puppy 74.5

All one Excellent. Typical dry food: Good.

It holds the Excellent band comfortably, and nothing is propped up by a single figure: fat, energy and a below-average starch share do the work together.

What's in it

Chicken: dehydrated, hydrolysed40%No water left in the dried form; the hydrolysed part absorbs easily and tempts a pup.
Oats26%The starch, cooked soft.
Dehydrated insect14%A complete animal protein most pups have never eaten, made on a fraction of the land and water meat needs.
Chicken fat
Dried apple pulpGentle fibre.
Natural flavour, brewer's yeast
Salmon oil2%Marine fats for a young coat and nervous system.
Hydrolysed yeast, pea flour0.5% (yeast)
Glucosamine, chondroitin sulphate300 mg/kg, 230 mg/kgJoint support, dosed.
FOS, MOS, yucca, milk thistle, beta-glucans, motherwort, sea buckthorn, Lactobacillus helveticus230 mg/kg down to 60 mg/kgEvery one at its own printed level.

A full vitamin run with taurine, L-carnitine and L-tryptophan, and zinc, manganese, copper and iron in organic form.
