Nourish Grain Free Puppy Small Breed: Turkey With Duck, Sweet Potato, Dill & Camomile review

Name: Nourish Grain Free Puppy Small Breed: Turkey With Duck, Sweet Potato, Dill & Camomile
Brand: Nourish

64.9/100Good

DryPuppy

A lot packed into a small kibble: a 60% bird block broken out line by line, the highest energy in the Nourish puppy line, and a calcium figure that lands inside the growth range. Read it as a turkey food with a duck accent. It sits in our Good band.

Our view

Likely to suit

Small breed puppies, the size the listing and portions were written for
Busy pups, at 389 kcal per 100g against 376 for the typical puppy dry food
Owners who want calcium printed. It converts to 1.52% of dry matter, inside the growth range
Cereal-free homes; potato and sweet potato carry the starch
Early joint support, with glucosamine and methylsulfonylmethane at 170 mg/kg each

Worth watching

Turkey, duck and turkey fat together, so no bird-free plan
Duck at only 4% despite the billing
Potato protein high on the list, so part of the protein comes from a plant
Fat at 19.6% of dry matter, rich enough to measure portions for a quiet pup

The score, in context

All one Good. Typical dry food: Good.

Squarely in the pack on standing while doing several things better; potato protein high on the list and a small duck share pull the other way.
