Name: Harringtons Grain Free Wet Puppy Trays
Brand: Harringtons

78.7/100Excellent

WetPuppy

A short, open label with the meat high. Chicken is 73% of the tray and no other animal meat goes in. Nutritional balance and transparency both read Outstanding, and once the water is out the protein sits at 37.5% of dry matter.

Our view

Likely to suit

Puppies kept to one meat, as chicken is the only animal meat in the recipe
Grain-free homes. The vegetables are fresh potato, peas and carrot
Pups that drink little: the tray is declared at 76.0% moisture
Owners who like every small addition printed, green tea and rosehip at 0.01% included

Worth watching

No calcium figure, so a large-breed growth plan has nothing to work from
Salmon oil at 0.4%, which rules out a fish-free elimination diet
Cassia gum at 2,500mg per kilo, a thickener some owners like to know about

The score, in context

Harringtons Grain Free Wet Puppy Trays 78.7

All one Excellent. Typical wet food: Excellent.

It clears the typical wet puppy food comfortably, carried by a label that names its meat and prints a figure beside nearly everything.

What's in it

Freshly prepared chicken73%The only meat. Weighed with its water in, so the dry-matter protein of 37.5% is the fairer test, and it holds up.
Vegetables: fresh potato, peas, fresh carrot20%Given as a group, then itemised. Carbohydrate lands at 14.6% of dry matter, close to the 13.6% typical.
Vitamins and minerals
Salmon oil0.4%Brings fish into a single-meat recipe.
Dried tomato, seaweed0.15%, 0.08%
Chicory, parsley, basil0.05% eachGarnish, each printed to the decimal.
Green tea, rosemary, rosehip0.01% each

Vitamins A, D3 and E with zinc, iron, manganese, copper, iodine and selenium, all dosed in print, plus cassia gum as the thickener.

No calcium figure on the pack. For a large-breed pup, ask the maker or your vet.

Salmon oil means this is not a fish-free tray, though chicken is the only meat.
