Lakes Collection Lakes Heritage Grain Free Puppy: Chicken with Carrot review

1. Chicken 70.1
2. Salmon 69.2

Two recipes across Excellent and Good. Typical dry food: Good.

The two finish a whisker apart, and the ingredient work earns the position: nothing hides behind a category name.

Chicken, turkey and salmon all in the bag, so no single-protein or fish-free plan.

The richer of the pair, and the higher scorer, for a pup with no poultry concerns.

Each recipe opens on a 60% meat or fish block and itemises it, fresh and dried. Sweet potato and potato carry the starch with no cereal, beet pulp adds fibre, and linseed sits beside an omega 3 supplement whose source is not named. Moisture is declared at 8%, and calcium is printed on both inside the growth range.

The supplement tail is shared and dosed: glucosamine and methylsulfonylmethane at 170 mg/kg each, chondroitin sulphate at 125 mg/kg, FOS at 96 mg/kg and MOS at 24 mg/kg, with nucleotides. Rosemary extract is the preservative.
