Name: Harringtons Dry Puppy: Rich In Turkey & Rice
Brand: Harringtons

58.5/100Good

DryPuppy

Flavour

A familiar British growth kibble in three recipes that share almost everything except the meat on the front. All three land in our Good band. The extras are small but printed with their doses, and the fats come from a named blend.

Our view

Likely to suit

A pup with a straightforward appetite and no particular sensitivities
Households happy with cereal in the bowl
Owners who like the small extras dosed, seaweed at 1000mg/kg and yucca at 100mg/kg
A fat and omega top-up, with chicken fat at 5% and the omega blend at 1.8%

Worth watching

No calcium figure on any label
Freshly prepared chicken in the salmon and turkey bags too, so none suits a pup kept off chicken

The score, in context

Rich in Salmon 61.2
Rich in Chicken 59.6
Rich In Turkey 58.5

All three Good. Typical dry food: Good.

The range holds the middle of a crowded puppy field; unnamed meal and the missing calcium figure keep the ceiling down.

What's in it

Turkey and meat meals33%Dried turkey at 7% and freshly prepared chicken at 4% named inside.
MaizeSecond on the list, the base of the kibble.
Rice5.6%
Oats15.5%
Chicken fat5%Chicken again, whatever the front of the bag says.
Omega blend: salmon oil, vegetable oil, linseed1.8%Named, which most blends are not.
Minerals
Seaweed, FOS, yucca extract1000mg/kg, 1000mg/kg, 100mg/kgSmall, but dosed.

Vitamins A and D3, vitamin E at 100mg rather than 150mg, and the same dosed trace elements.

No calcium figure on the label, the first number to look for on a growth food for a big pup.

Named ingredients

Turkey and Meat Meals 33% (Including: Dried Turkey 7% & Freshly Prepared Chicken 4%), Maize, Rice (5.6%), Oats (15.5%), Chicken Fat (5%), Omega Blend (Salmon Oil, Vegetable Oil & Linseed 1.8%), Minerals, Seaweed (1000mg/kg), FOS (1000mg/kg), Yucca Extract (100mg/kg)

Against the range

Fat: 14.0%; 13.0% on the other two.
Crude ash: 8.0%; 8.5% on the other two.
FOS: 1000mg/kg; 100mg/kg on the other two.
Base: No maize protein; oats at 15.5%; Maize protein and oats at 15%.

A touch richer, with ten times the prebiotic dose of its stablemates.

Each bag opens with 32% or 33% of meat meals, only a slice of it named to an animal, and freshly prepared chicken at 4% sits inside all three. Maize builds the base, with rice at 5.6% and oats behind it. Chicken fat and a named omega blend of salmon oil, vegetable oil and linseed look after the fats.

Protein is 30.0% on every recipe, 32.6% of dry matter. Seaweed and yucca extract are dosed on all three, and none prints calcium.
