Harringtons Superfood Grain Free Puppy review

Name: Harringtons Superfood Grain Free Puppy
Brand: Harringtons

67.5/100Good

DryPuppy

A grain-free puppy kibble in our Good band, with all of its meat from chicken and a label that doses every extra in print. The chicken is split three ways and adds up to 35%. What holds it back is the analysis: no calcium figure on a bag sold from toy to giant.

Our view

Likely to suit

Puppies kept to one meat. Chicken is the only animal meat, and 26% of the bag is dried chicken
Homes keeping grain out, with sweet potato at 26% doing the starch work
Owners who like the extras dosed: FOS, yeasts and seaweed at 1000mg/kg each
A pup whose coat needs work, from 4% linseed and 2% salmon oil
Anyone who checks mineral forms. The selenium is the organic kind

Worth watching

No calcium is declared, so a big pup's growth plan has to be settled with the maker or your vet
Salmon oil at 2% puts fish in the recipe, so a fish-free exclusion diet will not work
Moisture is left off the panel, and our dry-matter figures rest on an assumed 8%

The score, in context

Harringtons Superfood Grain Free Puppy 67.5

All one Good. Typical dry food: Good.

The ingredients read better than the score, and it is the analysis, with no calcium declared, that holds it down.

What's in it

Dried chicken26%The biggest of the three chicken parts, with no water left to lose in the oven.
Chicken fat, freshly prepared chicken5%, min 4%These make up the rest of the 35% chicken headline.
Sweet potato26%Carries the starch in place of grain.
Potato, peas, beans8%
Linseed4%Plant omega 3 with gentle fibre alongside.
Beet pulp4%A well tolerated fibre.
Salmon oil2%The marine omegas linseed cannot supply. It also puts fish in the bag.
Minerals
Rosemary, spinach, pomegranate, blueberries1500mg/kgThe botanical blend, dosed as one.
FOS, yeasts, seaweed1000mg/kg eachFOS is a prebiotic, and the yeasts do related work in the gut.

Vitamin D3 at 1600 iu, vitamin E at 150mg and taurine at 1000mg per kilo, with zinc at 75mg and selenium in its organic form, the better absorbed choice.

No calcium declared on a growth food sold up to giant breeds. Ask Harringtons or your vet before a large pup grows on it.
