Wainwright's Puppy Trays With Superfoods review
One of the shortest lists on any puppy food, and it lands in our Excellent band. Organic chicken at 60% is nearly the whole recipe. Protein converts to 55.6% of dry matter and the carbohydrate estimate comes out at nothing measurable.
Our view
Likely to suit
- Puppies kept to one animal. Organic chicken is the only creature in the tray
- Grain-free households
- Owners who buy organic where they can: the chicken and both vegetables are declared organic
- Delicate digestions, which often settle best on a recipe with this little in it
- Pups that need their protein concentrated
Worth watching
- No calcium figure, so ask the maker before it becomes the everyday tray for a pup that will finish large or giant
- No added vitamins listed, only three trace elements
- Moisture at 82.0%, so at 84 kcal per 100g the portions run larger than the 106 kcal typical of a puppy wet food

The score, in context
- Wainwright's Puppy Trays With Superfoods 70.9
All one Excellent. Typical wet food: Excellent.
The recipe is close to as short and as good as a complete food gets; the paperwork, with no vitamins listed and no calcium figure, is what stops it going further.
What's in it

- Organic pumpkin2%Gentle fibre and colour.
- Organic beetroot2%
- MineralsCalcium is not broken out of the ash.
- Sunflower oilThe only added fat, light on saturates and naturally carrying vitamin E.

A light food at 84 kcal per 100g, so a pup eats a bigger tray-and-a-bit for the same growth.
Premium end of the market for a wet food, and good value for a tray that is this much organic chicken.
