WetPuppy

An Excellent-band puppy pouch whose whole label can be read on the shelf. Beef is 70% of it and the only animal on the list. Calcium is declared at 1.5% of dry matter, inside the window growing bone works to, which is the line most wet labels leave off.

Our view

Likely to suit

Puppies kept to one animal. The oil is linseed, not fish
Large and giant breed pups, with calcium printed and in range
Fast-growing young dogs. Protein converts to 47.5% of dry matter
A mixed bowl, where the pouch adds water and appeal to kibble

Worth watching

Brown rice at 4%, so not grain free
Fewer calories than a typical puppy pouch, 95 kcal per 100g against 106, so the bowl runs fuller

The score, in context

Calibra Dog Life Pouch Pup&Jnr Beef 10x150g 79.7

All one Excellent. Typical wet food: Excellent.

Arithmetic more than anything clever earns the place: a big meat share, a tiny starch entry and a calcium figure printed where many wet labels stay silent.

What's in it

Linseed oil0.2%Plant omega 3 for skin and coat while the adult coat comes in.
Powdered beetroot juice, Mojave yuccayucca 0.02%Small touches; the yucca is there for stool odour.

Named ingredients

Beef 70 %, brown rice 4 %, minerals, dried brewer´s yeast 0.2 %, linseed oil 0.2 %, powdered beetroot juice, Mojave yucca 0.02 %.

Against the range

One beef puppy pouch with a very short list. Beef at 70% is effectively the whole recipe, brown rice at 4% is the only cereal, and the rest is minerals, yeast, linseed oil and two trace extras. Calcium is declared.
