71.7/100Excellent

DryPuppy

Flavour

A growth kibble with 65% of each recipe from animals, in our Excellent band. One version leads on free range turkey with pork behind it; the other keeps to salmon alone. Both print a calcium figure that lands inside the growth range.

Our view

Likely to suit

Growing pups of any expected adult size, with calcium declared on both
Owners who judge a food by its meat share
Pups that do well on protein: 44.0% of dry matter in the turkey
Households leaning away from cereal, since no grain is printed on either list
A one-meat pup, on the salmon

Worth watching

Pork alongside the turkey, so that bag is not single protein
Starred botanicals with no percentages
No named binding carbohydrate on either list
Fibre at 4.9% of dry matter in the turkey, a fair amount for a young gut

The score, in context

Free Range Turkey 76.7
Scottish Salmon 71.7

All two Excellent. Typical dry food: Good.

The meat shares and declared calcium carry both into the band above the typical puppy kibble, and the half-printed plant side keeps them from going higher.

Named ingredients

Salmon 65% (Freshly Prepared Scottish Salmon 35%, Salmon 30%), Dill*, Spinach*, Fennel*, Asparagus*, Tomato*, Other Functional Ingredients (chart labels; the starred vegetables carry no printed percentages)

Against the range

Meat: Salmon only, 65%; Turkey and pork in the other
Protein, dry matter: 36.4%; 44.0% in the turkey
Fat, dry matter: 16.3%; 21.2% in the turkey

For a pup kept to one protein, this is the version to take.

Both recipes give 65% to animal ingredients and the rest to vegetables and starred botanicals with no percentages. No grain appears on either printed list, and neither names the carbohydrate holding the kibble together or prints an additive panel.

Both print a calcium figure inside the growth range. Carbohydrate is estimated at 20.7% and 35.9% of dry matter, both under the 39.0% typical for a puppy dry food.
