WetPuppy

A seven-entry puppy pouch where chicken is 70% of the recipe and calcium is printed, converting to 1.5% of dry matter. That is a figure a grower can plan around. It sits in our Excellent band, above the middle of the puppy wet shelf.

Our view

Likely to suit

Puppies kept to chicken alone. No second animal appears and the oil is linseed
A pup that will finish big, with calcium declared and in range
Picky young dogs, who often take to a soft, meat-heavy pouch
Owners who read every entry, all seven of them

Worth watching

Chicken draws more reactions than any other meat, so check your pup's history first
Brown rice at 4%, so not grain free
