Nutriment Puppy Gently Steamed review

Name: Nutriment Puppy Gently Steamed
Brand: Nutriment

75.8/100Excellent

WetPuppy

An Excellent steamed puppy food that is almost entirely turkey and beef, with the beef arriving mostly as named, measured offal. The plant side is a garnish of pumpkin, broccoli and blueberry, and there is no cereal, legume or potato anywhere.

Our view

Likely to suit

Puppies that do well on poultry and red meat together
Owners who like offal itemised: tripe 11%, heart 7%, liver and kidney 4% each
Topping up a dry diet, as 76.0% moisture brings water and appeal to the bowl
Fussy pups, with almost nothing but meat on the list
Grain-free homes

Worth watching

No calcium figure, the number that governs how safely a big-framed pup grows
Salmon oil alongside the turkey and beef, which rules out a single-protein plan
Cassia gum for thickening, and fibre very light at 2.1% of dry matter

The score, in context

Nutriment Puppy Gently Steamed 75.8

All one Excellent. Typical wet food: Excellent.

Standing out on a strong wet puppy shelf takes something real, and a recipe that is essentially meat and offal does it.

What's in it

Turkey42%The lead meat.
Beef, including tripe 11%, heart 7%, liver 4%, kidney 4%26%Offal is the nutrient-dense end of the animal; tripe is easily digested and dogs tend to fall on it.
Pumpkin1%
MineralsAsh converts to 10.4% of dry matter, but calcium itself is not printed.
Dried broccoli, blueberry0.5% eachThe broccoli is stated as equivalent to 4% fresh.
Salmon oilLong-chain omega 3 for brain and coat, and the reason fish is on the allergen picture.
Chicory0.01%

Vitamins A, D3 and E with zinc, iron, copper, manganese, iodine and selenium all dosed in print, plus cassia gum as the thickener.

No calcium figure on the label. For a large-breed puppy, ask Nutriment for it.
