Name: Seven Pet Seven Grain Free Puppy Large Breed
Brand: Seven Pet

70.6/100Excellent

DryPuppy

One fish and one job: bringing a big pup on slowly. The joint pack is dosed at roughly double the rest of the brand's puppy range, and declared calcium converts to 1.41% of dry matter, right where growth wants it. Protein and fat are kept deliberately moderate.

Our view

Likely to suit

Large breed puppies, the whole purpose of the recipe
Owners who check the calcium line first. It is declared, at 1.41% of dry matter
Pups whose joints will one day carry a lot of dog, given glucosamine and MSM at 355 mg/kg each
Homes keeping poultry and red meat out, as salmon is the one animal named
Grain-free feeders

Worth watching

Moderate protein by design, so set a very busy pup's portion against condition
Starchier than the typical puppy kibble, at an estimated 51.1% carbohydrate in dry matter
One bag size only, so a fussy pup cannot try a smaller one first

The score, in context

Seven Grain Free Puppy Large Breed 70.6

All one Excellent. Typical dry food: Good.

The fish and the declared calcium earn its place, and the starch share with a broad vegetables heading is what keeps nutritional balance from matching them.

What's in it

Salmon: freshly prepared, dehydrated, digest60%38%, 20% and 2%. The dehydrated share carries most of the protein into the kibble.
Vegetables: sweet potato, potato, peas, carrots19% sweet potato, 0.2% peasA broad heading, though the maker names what is inside it.
Digestive care pack: beet fibre, FOS, MOS96 mg/kg FOS, 24 mg/kg MOSNamed and dosed.
Vitamins and minerals
FlaxseedPlant omega 3 beside the fish oil.
Joint care pack: glucosamine, MSM, chondroitin sulphate355, 355 and 250 mg/kgClose to double the brand's other puppy recipes. The standout on the list.
Fish oilSpecies not named, worth asking about if you count fish strictly.
Nucleotides

Vitamins A, D3 and E, L-carnitine at 480 mg per kilo, and a full set of trace elements from zinc down to iodine.

Calcium declared and converting to 1.41% of dry matter, inside the range a large-breed puppy needs.
