Our view

Likely to suit

Active pups and juniors, at 378 kcal per 100g with fat at 18.0%
Grain-free households. Not a cereal on the list
Owners who like small inclusions quantified
A named bird, with the meat meal at least 95% chicken
Pups that benefit from a little gut support from beet pulp, brewer's yeast and beta-glucan

Worth watching

No calcium figure, the line a large-breed puppy's growth plan leans on
Pea protein fairly high in the order, topping up the protein total
Poultry fat with no species named, which matters on a strict exclusion diet

The score, in context

Skinner's Get Out & Go Puppy & Junior 52.8

All one Good. Typical dry food: Good.

Its transparency is the strength, and the thin analysis block is what holds the rest of it to the middle of the puppy field.

What's in it

Poultry meat meal (min. 95% chicken)28.5%Already dry, so the printed share is close to what sits in the kibble.
Sweet potato chips17%
Poultry fatNo bird named, the one vague entry on the list.
Potato flake, pea proteinThe pea protein lifts the protein total; refined plant proteins trail meat for digestibility.
Brewer's yeast, whole linseed, beet pulpB vitamins, plant omega 3, then fibre.
Peas, dried eggEgg adds a complete protein.
Carrots, apple, parsnips1.2% eachA real if modest contribution of fibre and antioxidants.
Marine algae meal, celluloseThe marine omega 3, with no fish.
Kale, broccoli, spinach; yeast (beta-glucan)0.5% each; 0.1%
Blueberries, cranberries, yucca, fennel200 to 150mg/kgGarnish, and the label shows exactly how much.

Vitamins A, D3 and E dosed in print, with each trace element given twice, once as a plain salt or oxide and once as a protein hydrolysate chelate.

No calcium figure on the label. For a large or giant breed pup, ask Skinner's for it.

No moisture is printed, so the dry-matter figures rest on an assumed 8%.

Against the range

One grain-free growth kibble. Chicken meal leads, potato flake and sweet potato carry the starch with no cereal at all, and the produce list is weighed down to the milligram. Omega 3 comes from linseed and marine algae, with no fish on the label. The analysis prints neither moisture nor calcium.
