Our view

Likely to suit

Puppies that will finish small, the size the maker had in mind
Owners who check the calcium line before buying a growth food
Pups kept off chicken. Turkey and duck are the only animals on the list
Busy little pups, at 390 kcal per 100g against 376 for a typical puppy dry food
Grain-free homes
Early joint support, with glucosamine, methylsulfonylmethane and chondroitin each dosed

Worth watching

Two birds in the one recipe, so a strict single-protein plan is out
An omega 3 supplement with no source printed. Ask the maker if your pup is kept off fish
One bag size only, which means frequent restocking with more than one pup
