Our view

Likely to suit

Puppies with unsettled digestion. Carob meal and beet fibre do steadying work
A single animal source: poultry protein and poultry fat are the only meat entries
Young dogs who need energy in a smaller serving, at 392 kcal per 100g against 376 typical
Owners who like a named prebiotic, with chicory root for inulin
Trace minerals dosed in print, including glycine-chelated zinc at 180 mg/kg

Worth watching

No calcium printed, for a bag offered to pups of any adult size
Poultry names a group of birds, so confirm the species with the maker for an elimination diet
Maize leads, and carbohydrate converts to an estimated 44.7% of dry matter
Protein at 27.2% of dry matter, the lean end for a growing dog

The score, in context

JosiDog Junior Sensitive 43.7

All one Average. Typical dry food: Good.

The recipe does what its name promises, and cereal first, a group name for the meat and missing calcium and moisture figures are what keep it a band below the puppy dry middle.

What's in it

Whole grain maizeCereal leads by weight.
Dried poultry proteinPoultry stands for chicken, turkey, duck and goose at once.
Poultry fat
Rice
Beet fibreThe gentle everyday sort most dogs handle without a murmur.
Carob mealA long history of firming things up.
Hydrolysed poultry proteinThe third and last animal entry, all poultry.
Minerals
Ground chicory rootInulin, food for the good bacteria lower down.

The most detailed part of the label: vitamin E at 220 mg/kg and the B group printed, with iron at 200 mg/kg and zinc as a glycine chelate, which a gut absorbs better than oxides.

No calcium declared. A big breed rearing plan needs the figure from JosiDog.
