50.6/100Good

DryPuppy

A plain, cereal-based growth kibble for medium and large breed puppies that gets the one big number right: calcium is declared and converts to 1.3% of dry matter. The micronutrient panel is printed dose by dose. Heavy carbohydrate and an unnamed bird keep it in our Good band.

Our view

Likely to suit

Homes after a short, familiar recipe for straightforward everyday feeding
Medium and large breed puppies, with calcium at 1.3% of dry matter inside the range growth is planned around
Pups that handle cereal well. Whole grain corn and rice carry the starch
Owners who like micronutrients itemised: taurine at 1000 mg/kg and L-carnitine at 250 mg/kg among them
A pup whose digestion likes a prebiotic, from ground chicory root

Worth watching

Poultry with no bird named, so a pup avoiding chicken or turkey cannot be steered by this list
Carbohydrate at an estimated 50.0% of dry matter against 39.0% for a typical puppy kibble, with protein at 27.2%

The score, in context

Josera Kids 50.6

All one Good. Typical dry food: Good.

A starchy build, a meat named only by category and adequate rather than generous protein hold it at Good, though what the label does declare it declares properly.
