Our view

Likely to suit

Puppies who eat more willingly from a soft, jellied bowl
A fussy pup, beef and chicken alternating through the same pack
Wet alongside kibble, bringing water into the bowl
Pups who need a lot from a small volume, fat converting to 36.8% of dry matter

Worth watching

No calcium figure, the number that works hardest while a skeleton forms
Only 4% of the meat entry is named
Fish oil in both recipes, whatever is on the front
