Likely to suit

Medium breed puppies that eat more willingly from a wet bowl
Pups that need richness while they grow
Feeding little and often, each portion sealed at 140g
Mixing into kibble. At 78.4% moisture it brings water to the meal
A meat-led analysis, with protein at 38.9% of dry matter

Worth watching

Seven broad categories, so the contents can change between batches without the wording changing
No animal or grain named, which rules it out for an exclusion diet
No calcium figure to anchor the growth side
Oils and fats second on the list. Measure portions for a pup that gains easily

The score, in context

Royal Canin Medium Puppy Chunks In Gravy 41.0

All one Average. Typical wet food: Excellent.

The analysis reads like a rich meat-based wet food; what holds the score down is what the pack declines to say.

What's in it

Meat and animal derivativesThe largest part by weight. Which animals, and which parts, the wording does not say.
Oils and fatsUnusual in second place, and why fat converts to 27.8% of dry matter.
CerealsNo grain named.
Vegetable protein extracts
MineralsNo calcium percentage printed.
Derivatives of vegetable origin
Yeasts

A brief panel: vitamin D3 at 150 IU per kg with zinc, iron, copper, manganese and iodine, plus clinoptilolite at 2 g as a technological additive.

No calcium figure on a growth food, so a plan that leans on the mineral side has nothing to work from.

Named ingredients

Meat and animal derivatives, oils and fats, cereals, vegetable protein extracts, minerals, derivatives of vegetable origin, yeasts.
