GreenAcres Puppy review

Name: GreenAcres Puppy
Brand: GreenAcres

60.3/100Good

DryPuppy

A turkey-led puppy kibble with a tidy, fully named list. Energy is declared at 371 kcal per 100g, so it is a printed figure, and protein converts to 30.8% of dry matter. It sits in our Good band, and the missing calcium figure is the one thing a large-breed owner needs to chase.

Where to buy: coming soon

Live retailer links are coming soon. Once we have them from UK retailers, where to buy and the best price will appear here.

Our view

Likely to suit

A pup who does well on poultry but not on chicken
Owners who want everything named, from the barley at 7% to the rosemary extract
A stomach still steadying, with FOS declared at 0.2%
Steady growers: 371 kcal per 100g against 376 for a typical puppy kibble
Early joint care. Glucosamine is declared at 0.03%

Worth watching

Salmon oil at 1% puts fish in the recipe
No calcium figure, so ask the maker before a large or giant pup starts
Barley, oats and two rices, so it is not grain-free

The score, in context

GreenAcres Puppy 60.3

All one Good. Typical dry food: Good.

A fully named list earns the transparency, while pea protein and an ordinary starch share set the limit on how far it climbs.

What's in it

Turkey meal29%Rendered and dried, so its protein largely survives into the kibble. Leaner than chicken.
White rice22%Gentle starch.
Pea proteinPart of the 28.0% protein is plant, with a weaker amino acid balance for a growing dog.
Barley, oats7%Fibre with selenium and copper. The 7% is the barley.
Turkey fat
Linseed, salmon oil1%Plant and marine omegas. The 1% salmon oil brings fish in.
Brown rice4.5%
Turkey digestA little broken-down turkey for taste.
Dried peas, beet pulp, alfalfa, seaweed mealFibre, with iodine from the seaweed.
FOS, glucosamine, yucca, rosemary extract0.2% down to 0.02%Each small entry carries a printed figure, bar the rosemary.

Printed doses throughout, with vitamin E at 190 mg per kilo and zinc at 100 mg.

No calcium figure, and ash at 11.0% of dry matter says there is plenty of mineral. Ask the maker before a large or giant pup starts.
