Our view

Likely to suit

A puppy meeting one meat at a time: chicken is the only animal in the recipe
Owners keen on organ meat, with heart and liver each carrying a figure
Young dogs with unsettled digestion. Chicory pulp and an added prebiotic do that work
A puppy just off milk, since the soft texture asks nothing of new teeth
Homes that would sooner serve a freshly cooked meal than soak biscuit for a small mouth

Worth watching

No calcium figure on the label. Ask Pets Love Fresh for it before a large breed puppy starts
A feeding guide keyed to bodyweight, so you will be weighing your puppy regularly
Chicken is the meat dogs most often react to, if sensitivities run in the family

The score, in context

Simply Chicken 60.3

All one Good. Typical fresh food: Outstanding.

One animal itemised down to the heart and liver, named plant entries and a protein-forward analysis earn this its place, with the typical fresh puppy recipe reading higher still.
