50.6/100Good

DryPuppy

A plain, traditional British growth kibble in our Good band. Poultry meal at 28.0% heads the list with white rice at 26.0% behind it, and the analysis is sound for growth at 29.0% protein and 17.0% fat. Where it runs short is the label: no moisture and no calcium figure.

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

Small and medium breed pups, whose growth asks least of an unprinted calcium line
Homes with several dogs, as one recipe covers pups of every adult size
Puppies that suit rice as their main grain
Omega 3 from three places: fish meal, whole linseed and salmon oil
Pups that do better on steady energy, at 371 kcal per 100g

Worth watching

No calcium figure. Owners of large and giant pups should ask the maker for it
Poultry meal and poultry oil name no bird, no help on an exclusion diet
Maize gluten meal lifts the protein from a plant source

The score, in context

Cobbydog Premium Puppy 50.6

All one Good. Typical dry food: Good.

A respectable analysis, held level by unnamed poultry, a plant protein lifting the total and a growth label without moisture or calcium.

What's in it

Poultry meal28.0%The backbone. Meal is already dried, so nearly all of it survives into the kibble. Poultry names no bird and can change between runs.
White rice26.0%The main grain.
Whole maize
Poultry oilThe energy.
Maize gluten mealPlant protein raising the total. It lacks the amino acid balance a growing dog draws from meat.
Sugar beet pellets
Fish meal, whole linseed, salmon oilMarine and plant omega 3.
Brewers yeastB vitamins and a flavour dogs take to.
Yucca schidigera extract
Chicory root extract0.3%Named as a source of prebiotic FOS, a tidier declaration than most.

Vitamins A, D3 and E with zinc, iron, manganese, copper, iodine and selenium, every one dosed in print.

No calcium figure on a growth label. Ask Cobbydog before a large or giant pup grows on it.
