Brand: Harley & Marley

69.5/100Good

DryPuppy

A growth kibble that commits to fish and never blinks: 71% of the recipe, and no other animal anywhere on the label. Sweet potato, potato, tapioca and pea starch keep grain out. Calcium is declared at 1.46% of dry matter, inside the growth range, and the food reaches our Good band.

Our view

Likely to suit

Pups raised on fish, with nothing else on the label
Large and giant pups, as the calcium figure is printed and lands where growth needs it
Grain-free homes
Hungry pups with energy to burn, at 400 kcal per 100g against 376 for a typical puppy dry food
Owners who want taurine named and dosed, here at 500mg/kg

Worth watching

Dehydrated fish at 17% names no species, which matters if one fish is the one you avoid
Ash at 12.0% is high for a kibble, from the fish and its bone
Tapioca and pea starch are there as binder, with little beyond starch

The score, in context

Harley & Marley Puppy Fish Cuisine 69.5

All one Good. Typical dry food: Good.

The whole label pulls one way: a high fish share, a printed calcium figure fit for big pups and a declared moisture that lets the dry matter be worked honestly.
