68.8/100Good

DryPuppy

A growth kibble that gives more of the bag to meat than most, and it sits in our Good band. Turkey makes up 56.3% of the recipe, split into fresh, dried, fat and gravy, and no other meat is named. Calcium at 1.63% of dry matter is comfortable for small and medium pups and a shade high for big ones.

Our view

Likely to suit

Puppies reared on turkey, the one meat the label names
Busy, fast-moving young dogs, with fat at 18.0%
Owners who like the meat itemised: 28.5% fresh, 22% dried, 4.2% fat, 1.6% gravy
A pup that suits less starch. Carbohydrate is 37.4% of dry matter against 39.0% typical
Toy, small and medium breed puppies

Worth watching

Calcium at 1.63% of dry matter is a shade above the target for a large or giant grower
Salmon oil and whole egg, so turkey is not the only animal here
Generous fat, so weigh a laid-back pup's portions

The score, in context

Symply Puppy Fuel 68.8

All one Good. Typical dry food: Good.

The meat share and the itemised turkey push it up; a calcium figure a shade high for big pups is what holds it back.

What's in it

Turkey56.3%Fresh 28.5%, dried 22%, fat 4.2%, gravy 1.6%, all off the same bird. The dried share gives more finished protein than its percentage suggests.
Sweet potato11.7%The main starch.
Potato8.8%
Whole oats8.7%Keep their fibre and bring B vitamins, though this is not a cereal-free bag.
Pea starch, peas, alfalfa
Salmon oil1.8%A second animal on the label.
Whole eggA little protein of about the most complete kind.
Cranberry, carrot, apple, broccoli, marigold, bilberry, spinachGarnish level.
Fructooligosaccharides, peppermint0.04% FOSPrebiotic to feed the gut's own bacteria.

Vitamins A, D3 and E, with zinc as oxide and as an amino acid chelate, plus copper, iodine and selenium.

Calcium at 1.63% of dry matter sits a little above the level a large or giant breed growth plan usually works to.
