Orygo Puppy Pate review

Name: Orygo Puppy Pate
Brand: Orygo

80.3/100Outstanding

WetPuppyAdult

A puppy pate that reaches our Outstanding band on the strength of its first line: 90% fresh meat and fish, opened up into turkey at 58%, salmon at 27% and chicken liver at 5%. The maker lists it for adults as well, so there is no change of food at the end of puppyhood. The one figure to weigh is calcium.

Our view

Likely to suit

Puppies that thrive on a meat-forward bowl
Owners who want each animal's share printed
Staying on one food from puppy to adult
Grain-avoiding homes; sweet potato at 4% and a little tapioca carry the starch
Toy and small pups, at 142 kcal per 100g
Turkey and fish as the main meats, with chicken only as liver

Worth watching

Calcium at 0.65% of dry matter, on the light side for a fast-growing large breed
Three animals plus trout oil, so no single-animal plan and no fish-free one
No trace minerals declared beside the vitamins

The score, in context

Orygo Puppy Pate 80.3

All one Outstanding. Typical wet food: Excellent.

Nine tenths of the can is named animal protein with every part printed, which is why it clears a bar the wet category already sets high.

What's in it

Fresh turkey58%Easy to digest and less common than chicken, which leaves room later if a sensitivity shows.
Fresh salmon27%Brings the marine oils.
Fresh chicken liver5%Vitamin A, B12 and copper.
Sweet potato4%A gentle starch with some fibre.
TapiocaStarch and little else, though there is little of it.
Beet fibreWorks on the gut, not the calorie count.
Orygoformula: yeast fermentation products, turmeric, olive oil, inulin, chicory pulp, quinoa2.6% in allInulin and the yeast products are genuine prebiotics.
Culinary herbs, cranberry and pomegranate extracts, milk thistle, artichoke, aloe vera, egg membraneA flourish at this share, not a working dose.
Trout oil500 mg/kgA trace of a second fish.

Vitamins A, D3 and E each carry a printed figure; no trace minerals are declared.

Calcium converts to 0.65% of dry matter, light for what a giant breed skeleton usually asks for.
