75.2/100Excellent

DryPuppy

Flavour

Three grain-free puppy kibbles with a 65% meat headline, all in our Excellent band. The back of each bag breaks that figure down instead of leaving it whole. The superfood blend gives the range its name, though it is a garnish more than a share of the bowl.

Where to buy: coming soon

Live retailer links are coming soon. Once we have them from UK retailers, where to buy and the best price will appear here.

Our view

Likely to suit

Puppies fed grain free
Owners who want the meat headline itemised
Rearing on one animal, which the beef and salmon bags keep to
Starting joint care early on the beef or salmon, with glucosamine and MSM at 178 mg/kg each
Gut support printed with doses across the range

Worth watching

Turkey and pork together in the turkey bag
No calcium on the turkey label, the figure that matters most for a big pup
A different superfood blend in each flavour, so read bag by bag if a vegetable has caused trouble

The score, in context

Beef 78.1
Turkey 75.7
Salmon 75.2

All three Excellent. Typical dry food: Good.

The three finish close together; the spread comes from the analysis panels, so the meat that suits your pup is a fair way to choose.

Named ingredients

65% Salmon (Freshly Prepared Scottish Salmon (35%), Dried Salmon (22%), Salmon Oil (5%), Salmon Gravy (3%)), Sweet Potato, Beans, Beet Pulp, Omega 3 Supplement, Dried Superfood Blend* (Including Dill, Spinach, Fennel, Asparagus, Tomato), Minerals, Joint Pack (Glucosamine 178 mg/kg, Methylsulfonylmethane 178mg/kg, Chondroitin Sulphate 125 mg/kg), Fructooligosaccharides (175 mg/kg), Mannanoligosaccharides (50mg/kg), Nucleotides, Olive Extract (0.01%)

Against the range

Animals on the label: Salmon only; Beef only; turkey with pork
Protein, dry matter: 36.4%; 39.1% beef, 40.8% turkey
Carbohydrate, dry matter: 35.9%; The highest of the three
Nucleotides: Added; Not on the other two

A real option for a pup raised on fish alone; the analysis, not the ingredients, gives a little ground.

Every bag declares 65% meat on the front and splits it on the back into fresh, dried, fat and gravy from the same animal. Sweet potato and beans do the binding, with beet pulp behind them and no cereal anywhere. FOS at 175 mg/kg and MOS at 50 mg/kg are printed on all three.

What varies is the animal, the dried superfood blend, the joint pack (beef and salmon only) and whether calcium and moisture are declared, which the turkey leaves off.
