James Wellbeloved Puppy Wet Loaf Can: Chicken, Rice & Vegetables review

Name: James Wellbeloved Puppy Wet Loaf Can: Chicken, Rice & Vegetables
Brand: James Wellbeloved

61.3/100Good

WetPuppy

A Good-band chicken loaf for puppies, and the short list is the reason to buy it. Nothing but the chicken came from an animal, so a single-protein plan can use it without an asterisk. Protein converts to 37.9% of dry matter.

Our view

Likely to suit

Puppies on a strict single-protein plan
Fish-free homes. Linseed oil carries the omega 3
Feeding wet alongside kibble, with 81.0% moisture bringing water to the bowl
Pups who eat better from a loaf than from chunks in gravy

Worth watching

Calcium at 1.68% of dry matter, higher than large-breed growth plans usually allow
Only 81 kcal per 100g against 106 typical, so it feeds in volume

The score, in context

Chicken 61.3

All one Good. Typical wet food: Excellent.

It holds its place in the strongest field we look at without leading it, with one animal entry carrying the whole recipe.

Named ingredients

Chicken* (45%), rice (4%), carrots (3.5%), minerals, peas (0.5%), dried beet pulp (0.5%), potato starch, linseed oil (0.3%), alfalfa (0.1%), seaweed. *Natural ingredients

Against the range

One chicken loaf with ten entries. Chicken at 45% is the only animal ingredient, and nearly every plant beneath it carries a percentage, led by rice and carrots. Linseed oil supplies the omega 3, so there is no fish anywhere.
