Opti Life Prime Puppy review

Name: Opti Life Prime Puppy
Brand: Opti Life

46.2/100Average

DryPuppy

A grain-free growth recipe that buys its chicken dried, so the 45% headline carries through to the bowl. Carbohydrate stops at 23.6% of dry matter and calcium is printed inside the growth range. It sits in our Average band because animal fat and hydrolysed animal proteins name no species.

Our view

Likely to suit

Chicken-fed pups, with dehydrated chicken at 45% leading outright
Grain-free homes: potato at 15% and peas do the starch work
Pups heading for a heavy adult frame, with calcium at 1.43% of dry matter
Fast-growing, hard-playing pups, at 41.8% protein in dry matter
Joint cover written into the recipe, with glucosamine at 500 mg/kg

Worth watching

Animal fat and hydrolysed animal proteins with no species, so a formal elimination trial cannot lean on it
Krill and salmon oil, which bring fish into a chicken-led recipe
A rich bag at 20.0% fat as fed, so weigh portions for a placid pup

The score, in context

Opti Life Prime Puppy 46.2

All one Average. Typical dry food: Good.

The dried meat share and a light starch load lift it, while the run of animal entries with no species named holds it back.
