Denes Puppy Tins review

Name: Denes Puppy Tins
Brand: Denes

60.7/100Good

WetPuppy

A Good band puppy tin, short and old fashioned. Chicken at 31% and pork at 14% lead, and with the water taken out protein reads 43.2% of dry matter and fat 36.4%. That makes it a rich, meaty tin with very little carbohydrate. The one number it never gives is calcium.

Our view

Likely to suit

Pups who take more interest in a meaty bowl than in dry biscuit
A pup who does better on wet food, with declared moisture of 78.0%
Owners who like a short recipe they can read in one go
Meeting pork for the first time. It turns up in comparatively few dog foods
Growing dogs that need protein density, at 43.2% of dry matter

Worth watching

No calcium figure, and rearing a large or giant breed turns on that number. Ask Denes for it
Wheat third on the list, and garlic named in the herb blend

All one Good. Typical wet food: Excellent.

A meat-shaped dry matter profile from a very short recipe, held back by how little the label declares.

The energy figure is our estimate; the label does not print one.
