DryPuppyAdult

Canagan's flagship chicken recipe rebuilt for big dogs, from puppy to adult. The joint supplements are stepped up, and calcium is declared at 1.52% of dry matter, inside the window growth diets aim for. It earns a place in our Excellent band.

Our view

Likely to suit

Large breed puppies, as the label covers growth explicitly
Heavy adults whose joints deserve a head start: glucosamine and MSM at 1,450 mg/kg each
Chicken-loving dogs kept off grain
Households that get through bags quickly; there is one 12kg size

Worth watching

Chicken runs through the meat, the fat and the gravy, so a chicken-sensitive dog is better on another protein
Salmon oil at 1.2% keeps a little fish in the recipe
No trial pack, so plan a gradual changeover

The score, in context

Canagan Large Breed Dry Puppies/Adult 74.2

All one Excellent. Typical dry food: Good.

A step clear of the typical adult dry food on a simple case: half the recipe is named chicken and the growth figures are on view.
