Flourish Grain Free Puppy: Chicken, Turkey & Salmon review
73.3/100Excellent
DryPuppy
Flourish Grain Free Puppy is an Excellent-band growth food that gets the boring things right. Meat content is 60%, given as chicken, turkey and salmon. Each one has its fresh share and its dried share printed. Sweet potato carries the starch. Calcium is declared and inside the growth range, which matters more than anything else in a large-breed puppy food. The label prints its workings all the way down to the prebiotic doses.

Our view
Likely to suit
Growing pups need their calcium right and their label honest, and this one manages both.
- Large-breed puppies especially, with calcium declared and converting to 1.30% of dry matter, inside the range growth needs
- Grain-free households, as sweet potato and potato hold the kibble together
- Owners who like the fresh and dried meat shares printed separately rather than lumped into one number
- Pups whose owners like a dosed joint package from the start, with glucosamine and MSM at 170 mg/kg and chondroitin at 125 mg/kg in print
Worth watching
One practicality and one recipe fact are worth knowing before the first order.
- It comes in a single 15kg bag, a generous first purchase for a small pup, so plan storage and check the dates
- Chicken, turkey and salmon are all in the one recipe here. That rules out a single-protein or poultry-avoidance plan

The score, in context
This food sits in our Excellent band, while the typical puppy dry food lands in our Good band. For a growth food, the gap is earned on meat share and declared calcium, with a clean starch base underneath.

Ingredient notes
The 60% meat headline is unusually well itemised. Seven sub-entries carry percentages. The fresh and dried shares are separated, and the 2% chicken stock is declared in its own right. Dried meat carries more protein weight per gram than fresh, so the split matters and this label lets you see it.
Calcium is the headline act in any puppy food, and here it converts to 1.30% of dry matter, inside the range large-breed growth needs. Oversupply is the classic failure in big-breed rearing, and a printed, in-range figure is exactly what you want to see.
Sweet potato at 22% with potato behind it carries the energy. Beet pulp adds gentle fibre, and linseed with a named omega 3 supplement covers the fats a growing coat and brain want.
At the tail sits a quietly sensible puppy package: nucleotides, FOS and MOS, the gut and immune support pairing that better growth foods include, all dosed. The joint trio arrives at 170 mg/kg for glucosamine and MSM and 125 mg/kg for chondroitin, in print.
Price and value
£4.27 a kilo, from the single 15kg bag. A puppy's portion changes fast with age and with the weight the pup is heading for. Feed to the growth chart and not to a daily cost figure, and let the waistline arbitrate between the bands on the bag.
