Wainwright's Grain Free Puppy Dry Food review

Name: Wainwright's Grain Free Puppy Dry Food
Brand: Wainwright's

68.4/100Good

DryPuppy

A turkey-led, grain-free puppy kibble with an unusually detailed front label: turkey at 40.5%, split four ways with a figure on each. No other meat appears on the list. Potato flake and sweet potato carry the starch, the label declares its own 370 kcal per 100g, and the recipe reaches our Good band.

Our view

Likely to suit

Puppies kept on turkey, the one meat this recipe names
Grain-free homes. Potato flake and sweet potato at 14% replace cereal
Owners who want the meat claim itemised, down to the 2% turkey digest
Everyday appetites: 370 kcal per 100g sits close to the 376 typical
A measured prebiotic, chicory root extract at 0.1% for FOS

Worth watching

No calcium figure on a bag sold for toys and giants alike
Salmon oil puts fish in the bowl, despite turkey being the only meat
Turkey fat at 7.5% counts inside the headline, so the meat share and the muscle meat share differ
No moisture declared, so our dry matter figures assume 8%

All one Good. Typical dry food: Good.

A sensibly built recipe on a label that gives you plenty, holding the centre of a crowded puppy field.
