Name: Flourish Grain Free Puppy: Chicken, Turkey & Salmon
Brand: Flourish

73.3/100Excellent

DryPuppy

An Excellent-band growth food that gets the dull things right. Calcium is declared and inside the growth range, which matters more than anything else for a large-breed pup. The label prints its workings all the way down to the prebiotic doses.

Our view

Likely to suit

Large-breed puppies in particular, with calcium at 1.30% of dry matter
Grain-free homes. Sweet potato and potato hold the kibble together
Owners who want fresh and dried meat shares printed separately
A dosed joint package from the start: glucosamine and MSM at 170 mg/kg, chondroitin at 125 mg/kg

Worth watching

One 15kg bag, a big first buy for a small pup, so plan storage and check the dates
Chicken, turkey and salmon together, which rules out a single-protein or poultry-free plan
