Cold pressedPuppyAdult

A cold-pressed puppy food that lands in our Outstanding band, two bands clear of the middle of the cold-pressed field. Fresh salmon leads at 53% with fresh turkey at 32%, and calcium converts to 1.46% of dry matter, inside the range a large breed puppy needs. The label covers grown dogs too.

Our view

Likely to suit

Large breed puppies. Calcium converts to 1.46% of dry matter, a figure you can actually check
Puppies that eat faster than they think: the pellets crumble in liquid and never swell
A home feeding a puppy and a grown dog from the same box
Puppies that thrive on fish, with fresh salmon at 53% heading the list

Worth watching

Salmon, turkey, trout oil and egg membrane all on one label, so no fish or egg exclusion
A starch that is never traced to a plant, which matters if one grain is off the menu
