Our view

Likely to suit

Puppies fed on chicken, the only meat here
Grain-free homes, with carrot, beans, spinach and apple on the plant side
Owners who want joint and gut entries named, down to a chicory root extract source of FOS at 0.032%
Hungry, fast-growing pups, at 145 kcal per 100g against 106 for a typical puppy wet food
Pups that need more water with their food

Worth watching

No calcium figure, so ask Skinner's before feeding a large or giant breed puppy
Egg powder behind the chicken, so not a single-protein base for an elimination trial
Joint and botanical entries at fractions of a percent, a light touch at most

The score, in context

Skinner's Get Out & Go Wet Foods Flying Start Puppy 82.9

All one Outstanding. Typical wet food: Excellent.

It clears a strong wet puppy average by a comfortable margin, and earns it with a high meat share and a label that weighs itself honestly.
