68.4/100Good

WetPuppy

A wet puppy food built on pork, a meat few dogs ever meet, and it sits in our Good band. Moisture is declared at 67%, drier than most wet food, so the energy comes out dense at 150 kcal per 100g. Nothing on the list carries a percentage and ash is left off the panel, so a fair amount rests on trust.

Our view

Likely to suit

Puppies who have never had pork, which makes it a handy novel protein
Small stomachs. 150 kcal per 100g against the 106 typical of a puppy wet food
Mixing with kibble, as a food this dense goes in without swamping the bowl
Fussy young eaters, given a soft texture and a meat-led list
A delicate digestion: psyllium husk on the list, beta-glucans from the yeast

Worth watching

No calcium figure, which matters most for a large or giant pup
Maize and rice, so it cannot sit in a cereal-free plan
Fish oil in a pork food, ruling out a fish-free plan

The score, in context

Specific CPW Puppy all breeds 68.4

All one Good. Typical wet food: Excellent.

Disclosure holds it a step behind a strong wet puppy field; a handful of printed percentages would move it up.

What's in it

PorkAppealing, easily digested and rarely used, which is what a novel protein should be.
MaizeSecond on the list, so the starch is cereal.
Egg powderProtein of about the highest quality there is.
Sunflower oilVitamin E along with the fat.
Rice
Minerals, vitamins and trace elementsSome trace elements chelated, the easier form to absorb.
Cellulose powderPurified plant fibre, mostly bulk.
Fish oilMarine omega 3 for brain and coat.
Psyllium huskA soluble fibre that steadies digestion.
YeastFor its beta-glucans.

No calcium figure printed. For a large or giant pup, ask the maker before relying on this food.

Ash is not declared, so the panel cannot be fully put on a dry-matter basis.
