DryPuppy

Half the bag is chicken before anything else gets a word in, and that puts this medium-breed puppy food in our Excellent band. The mineral side is just as sound, with calcium at 1.56% of dry matter. Joints get three supplements, each with a dose on the label.

Our view

Likely to suit

Medium breed pups, the size the recipe is written around
A straight answer on meat: dehydrated chicken declared at 50%
Calcium inside the range that builds bone properly
Pups always on the go. It runs to 398 kcal per 100g against 376 for a typical puppy kibble
Joint support in print, from glucosamine at 260 mg/kg down to glycosaminoglycans at 60 mg/kg

Worth watching

Wheat and corn both in the recipe, for a pup that has shown a cereal intolerance
Chicken as dried meat, fat and hydrolysed liver, so no use on a poultry avoidance plan
A short vitamin list: biotin joins A, D3 and E, with the wider B group unnamed

The score, in context

Brit Premium by Nature Junior M 71.8

All one Excellent. Typical dry food: Good.

The 50% dried chicken lead does most of the persuading; workaday wheat and corn are what keep it from climbing further.

What's in it

Dehydrated chicken50%The water is already out, so this share largely survives into the kibble.
Oats, wheat, cornOats are the pick of the three. Wheat and corn suit most dogs and not a minority.
Chicken fatCarries the energy.
Salmon oil2%The marine fat.
Dried apple pulp, brewer's yeast
Hydrolysed chicken liver, collagenLiver coats the kibble for a distracted pup; collagen fits the joint theme.
Glucosamine, chondroitin sulphate, glycosaminoglycans260, 180 and 60 mg/kgDosed, not just named.
MOS, FOS, Mojave yucca150, 100 and 100 mg/kgGut support.
Chamomile, blueberries, cloves, citrus, rosemary, curcuma90 mg/kg down to 40 mg/kg

Vitamins A, D3 and E with biotin and choline chloride, then zinc, iron, manganese, copper, iodine and selenium.
