69/100Good

DryPuppy

A large breed growth kibble kept to one fish, and it settles in our Good band. The line that matters most is printed: calcium converts to 1.41% of dry matter, inside the growth range. The joint supplements are dosed well above what a standard puppy food carries.

The score, in context

Edmondson's Puppy Large Breed 69.0

All one Good. Typical dry food: Good.

A single named meat and an in-range calcium figure lift it; the starch share and a deliberately moderate protein line hold it steady.
