67.4/100Good

DryPuppy

A growth kibble made almost entirely of salmon: fresh, as meal, as oil and as a digest coating. Potato and pea starch fill the space a richer recipe would give to meat. The analysis is printed in full, moisture included, and transparency reads Outstanding.

Our view

Likely to suit

Puppies that thrive on fish, with salmon making up the bulk of the recipe
Busy, quick-growing pups, at 391 kcal per 100g against the 376 typical
Grain-free homes. Potato at 18% and pea starch at 17% do the binding
Owners who like a marine tail, krill, seaweed and algae each named and measured

Worth watching

Krill and green lipped mussel are shellfish, so this is not a single-fish recipe
No calcium figure, so have your vet check the plan for a big pup

The score, in context

Fish4Dogs Superior Puppy Complete 67.4

All one Good. Typical dry food: Good.

The fish earns the score; the starch pair taking over a third of the label is what holds it back.
