Our view

Likely to suit

Puppies who take to a tin more readily than biscuit, with water in every meal at 76% moisture
Owners who want calcium checked on a wet growth food. It sits inside the growth range
Households already feeding the brand's kibble and wanting a matching tin
Pups whose stools want a little more form, with fibre at 5.0% of dry matter

Worth watching

An unnamed meat line past the 21% chicken, and cereals with no grain named
A starchy tin: carbohydrate near 37.9% of dry matter, against 13.6% typical
Oils and fats with no source given

The score, in context

Hill's Science Plan Puppy <1 41.8

All one Average. Typical wet food: Excellent.

Nothing is hidden in the analysis; four umbrella terms on a five-line list are what keep it well behind a typical puppy tin.
