Carnilove Pate Pouches for Puppies review

Name: Carnilove Pate Pouches for Puppies
Brand: Carnilove

76.7/100Excellent

WetPuppy

A short, meat-first pate for puppies that sits in our Excellent band. Turkey at 44% and salmon at 26% are effectively the whole recipe, and nothing on the seven-line list is vague. It is rich for a wet food, at 136 kcal per 100g, so a pouch goes further than most.

Our view

Likely to suit

Puppies that take to poultry and fish
Owners who read the whole label: seven plain ingredients
A water top-up alongside kibble, at 72.5% moisture
Small pups with small stomachs, at 136 kcal per 100g against 106 typical
Grain-free feeding, with pea flour and pea fibre the only thickeners from plants

Worth watching

Calcium at 2.55% of dry matter, above what large-breed growth plans usually call for
Turkey and salmon together, so not a single-protein food
Declared figures that add up past the whole pouch, so the dry-matter column is indicative only

The score, in context

Carnilove Pate Pouches for Puppies 76.7

All one Excellent. Typical wet food: Excellent.

Finishing clear of the middle mark in a part of the market this strong is the real compliment, and the short, meat-led list is why.
