Nutriment Complete Puppy review

Name: Nutriment Complete Puppy
Brand: Nutriment

79.3/100Excellent

RawPuppy

The brand's adult shape tipped further towards the animal: 90% fresh meat, offal and bone against 10% vegetables and superfoods. It sits in our Excellent band. The organ share is the standout, with tripe, heart, liver and kidney all named and percentaged.

Our view

Likely to suit

Owners who want a puppy bowl weighted hard towards meat
Growing dogs that benefit from real organ meat
Homes already feeding Nutriment to an older dog. Same plan, puppy version
Puppies of any eventual size, toy to giant

Worth watching

Chicken, beef, salmon oil and wheatgerm oil, so it cannot narrow down a suspected intolerance
No calcium figure, which large and giant breed owners most want
Freezer space, a fridge thaw the night before and a clean-up after

The score, in context

Nutriment Complete Puppy 79.3

All one Excellent. Typical raw food: Outstanding.

Puppy raw is a fierce category, and the step below its middle is a matter of degree with no fault to point at.

What's in it

Chicken with bone60%Easy to start a young dog on. The bone in the grind carries the calcium.
Beef green tripe10%Never cleaned or bleached, so it keeps its enzymes and friendly bacteria.
Beef heart10%Dense muscle meat.

Carrot, butternut squash, broccoli, kaleThe vegetable side of the tenth.
Sesame, chia and sunflower seeds
Salmon oilLong-chain omega 3 for brain and eye development. Fish is in the bowl.
Wheatgerm oilFrom wheat, whatever the 0% grain line on the pack says.
Chicory powder, blueberry powder, spirulinaChicory's inulin is a soluble fibre and a prebiotic.

No bone percentage or calcium figure is printed. For a large-breed puppy, ask Nutriment for it.
