75.1/100Excellent

DryPuppy

An Excellent puppy kibble that earns the words on the bag. Salmon makes up 65% of the recipe in four forms, all salmon, and no second animal turns up below. Protein runs to 36.4% of dry matter, ahead of an estimated 35.9% carbohydrate, and calcium is declared inside the growth range.

Our view

Likely to suit

Pups kept to one animal protein, salmon from the fresh fish down to the gravy
Medium, large and giant breed pups. Calcium converts to 1.3% of dry matter, inside the growth range
Growing dogs that do best on a meaty bowl
Grain-free homes: beans and sweet potato carry the starch
Early joint care, with glucosamine and MSM at 178 mg/kg each and chondroitin at 125 mg/kg

Worth watching

Salmon is every scrap of the animal content, so nothing here for a pup that does not get on with fish
The omega 3 supplement gives no source; confirm it with the maker for a strict elimination diet
Beans carry a good share of the starch, worth a thought if legumes have upset your pup before

The score, in context

Scottish Salmon 75.1

All one Excellent. Typical dry food: Good.

Few growth kibbles get protein ahead of carbohydrate in dry matter, and doing it on one fish with the growth minerals printed is harder still.
