DryPuppy

A small-breed growth kibble that opens on 55% dehydrated chicken, with chicken fat straight after it. Oats, wheat and corn fill in the starch. It is rich, at 22.2% fat in dry matter, which suits a small pup growing fast, and it sits in our Excellent band.

Our view

Likely to suit

Small-breed pups, the size the feeding chart is written for
Owners who want the meat share declared on the front
Quick little metabolisms, at 405 kcal per 100g against 376 for a typical puppy dry food
Joint support dosed in print: glucosamine at 260 mg/kg and chondroitin sulphate at 180 mg/kg

Worth watching

Calcium at 1.67% of dry matter, above what large-breed growth plans aim for. Keep this for the little ones
Wheat and corn behind the oats, and fat at 20.0%, so watch a cereal-sensitive pup or an easy gainer

The score, in context

Brit Premium by Nature Junior S 73.5

All one Excellent. Typical dry food: Good.

The dried chicken at the front carries the score; the cereals and the heavy mineral load are what hold it back.
