Edmondson's Puppy: Chicken, Turkey & Salmon review

Name: Edmondson's Puppy: Chicken, Turkey & Salmon
Brand: Edmondson's

76.6/100Excellent

DryPuppy

An Excellent-band growth kibble that itemises its meat where most labels round it up. Chicken, turkey and salmon are broken into fresh and dried parts, so you can see that 24% of the recipe is meat that keeps its weight through the oven. Calcium is declared and lands where a growing skeleton wants it.

Our view

Likely to suit

Puppies of any expected adult size: calcium converts to 1.3% of dry matter, inside the growth range
Owners who want the meat broken out, six named entries plus a stock
Pups who get on with poultry and fish together
Grain-free homes, with sweet potato at 22% and potato doing the binding
Owners who like supplements weighed, glucosamine and methylsulfonylmethane at 170 mg/kg each

Worth watching

Chicken, turkey and salmon in one bag, so no single-protein option
No source named for the omega 3 supplement or the vegetable stock
An ordinary starch load for a kibble, at 39.3% of dry matter
