Flavour

Puppy jelly tins with a better analysis than ingredients list, sitting in our Average band. Protein converts to 44.0% of dry matter and carbohydrate to 13.2%, about level with the typical puppy tin. Most of the recipe, though, is in broad categories, and liver is the ingredient to be pleased about.
