55.3/100Good

DryPuppy

A Good, plain puppy kibble for small breeds that leads with maize and keeps everything else simple. Chicken meal is declared at a minimum of 26%, enough to bring protein to 25.0% of dry matter. The catch for a growing dog is calcium: the label does not print it.

Our view

Likely to suit

Small breed puppies, the size Trophy lists it for
One named meat. Chicken meal, chicken fat and fresh chicken are the only animal entries
Pups happy on cereal
Owners who read the additive panel, with taurine at 385 mg/kg and L-carnitine at 190 mg/kg in print
A gentle first bag with nothing exotic on the label

Worth watching

No calcium figure anywhere. Ask Trophy for it before a fast-growing pup goes on it
Maize leads the recipe
Prairie Meal names no source, which matters on a strict exclusion diet
At 360 kcal per 100g a lively pup may need a slightly fuller bowl than the chart's first line

The score, in context

Trophy Lifestyle Sensitive & Shine 55.3

All one Good. Typical dry food: Good.

Nothing here falls over; the recipe leads with maize and the protein and nutrition readings show it.

What's in it

MaizeWhere most of the kibble comes from. Most dogs do perfectly well on it.
Chicken mealmin. 26%The water has already gone, so this share survives into the kibble much as printed.
Chicken fat
Ricemin. 5%
Freshly prepared chicken, full fat linseed, oats
Prairie MealNames no source at all, the one opaque line on the label.
Lucerne, peasDried forage and peas: fibre with a little plant protein.
YeastSource of mannan oligosaccharides, food for the bacteria in the lower bowel.
Minerals
Carrot, seaweed, milk thistle, nettle, turmeric, ginger and other herbsmin. 0.4% herbs, min. 4% vegetablesA finishing touch that gives the range its name.

Vitamins A, D3 and E with taurine and L-carnitine dosed, and trace minerals mostly as sulphates, with some zinc as a glycine chelate.

No calcium figure on the label. For a growing pup it is the number to have, so ask Trophy for it.
