Name: Ruff's Recipes Puppy Trays: Puppy's Turkey Roast
Brand: Ruff's Recipes

76.3/100Excellent

WetPuppy

Flavour

Single-serve 150g puppy trays that are mostly meat: a 61% meat block, protein at 52.6% of dry matter and very little else. Calcium is declared at 1.58% of dry matter, which is why the maker lists them from toy to giant without hedging. Both sit in our Excellent band.

Where to buy: coming soon

Live retailer links are coming soon. Once we have them from UK retailers, where to buy and the best price will appear here.

Our view

Likely to suit

Puppies heading for a large or giant frame, with calcium printed and in range
Pups that do well on a meat-heavy bowl
Starch kept to a whisper, with no cereal in either tray
Wet feeding through the day: moisture is 81.0%

Worth watching

Each tray mixes poultry with a red meat, so neither suits a single-protein plan
A bigger pup gets through several trays a day

The score, in context

Puppy's Turkey Roast 76.3
Puppy's Chicken Hotpot 74.9

All two Excellent. Typical wet food: Excellent.

Both clear the typical puppy wet food, the turkey tray by a comfortable margin, because what is named on the label and what the analysis shows agree.

What's in it

Pork10%Red meat alongside two birds.
Potato4%
Broccoli4%
Minerals
LinseedPlant omega 3, less potent than a marine oil but a real contributor.
Dried herbs and botanicals: seaweed, nettle, chamomile, reishi mushroom, valerian root and others0.2%Seasoning with a wellbeing nod.
ChicoryA source of inulin for the gut's useful bacteria.
Dried blueberry

Zinc and manganese as amino acid chelates, copper and iodine as simple salts. No vitamins are printed, though minerals are on the list.

Declared crude fibre of 6.0% is far above normal for wet food and matches the fat figure exactly, so do not compare its carbohydrate estimate with other foods.

Named ingredients

Turkey, Duck & Pork (61%) (Turkey 37%, Duck 14%, Pork 10%), Potato (4%), Broccoli (4%), Minerals, Linseed,Dried Herbs & Botanicals (0.2%) (Seaweed, Nettle, Rosemary, Bay, Dill, Mint, Oregano, Thyme, Chamomile, Turmeric, Reishi Mushroom, Valerian Root), Chicory (a source of Inulin), Dried Blueberry.

Against the range

Meat: Turkey 37%, duck 14%, pork 10%; Chicken and lamb on the other.
Vegetables: Potato, broccoli; Sweet potato and spinach on the other.
Fibre, as declared: 6.0%; 0.3% on the chicken tray.

The more varied of the two, and useful for a pup that has already met chicken and lamb.

Both trays open with a 61% meat block broken out animal by animal, then one vegetable pairing at 4% each, linseed, a herb blend at 0.2%, chicory and dried blueberry. There is no cereal on either list.

The analysis is shared: protein 52.6% of dry matter, fat 31.6%, moisture 81.0% and calcium 1.58% of dry matter, inside the range every size of puppy can be reared on. The meats and the vegetables are what change.
