Flavour

Three puppy trays that keep their meat named and their plant side small, and all three print a calcium figure, more than most growth foods manage. Each leads with a fresh named animal. Our Excellent band takes every one of them.

Our view

Likely to suit

Puppies of any size, from the smallest breeds up to giant
Owners who want the lead meat named and weighed
Grain-free homes. None of the three lists carries a cereal
Pups that need water coming in with their food, with moisture in the high seventies
Owners who check the calcium line first

Worth watching

The animals change from tray to tray, and two carry an entry that names no species, so an elimination plan is hard to run
Salmon oil in two of the three
Calcium varies widely between trays, so read each one for a pup that will finish large

The score, in context

Wildways Puppy Wet 75.6
Beef 74.8
Duck 71.1

All three Excellent. Typical wet food: Excellent.

Steady across the board: no single tray carries the others, and all three keep company with the better half of a strong category.

Named ingredients

Fresh Turkey (53%), Salmon (14%), Blackberries (4%), Pea Flour (2%), Lignocellulose (0.7%), Salmon Oil (0.5%), Calcium Carbonate (0.3%), Dried Rosemary (0.01%)

Against the range

Meat: Turkey 53%, salmon 14%; Duck and chicken in one, chicken, beef and venison in the other
Energy: 109 kcal per 100g; Highest of the three; the others are 99 and 91
Calcium, dry matter: 1.14%; 2.37% in the beef, 0.91% in the duck
Plant side: Blackberries and pea flour only; The beef tray carries the most plant material

The plainest built of the three, and the straightforward pick for a pup that will grow into a big adult.

Every tray opens with a fresh named animal and a second named meat behind it, and pea flour does what little binding is needed. No cereal appears on any of the three lists. The analysis is declared in full, moisture included, and every label prints a calcium figure.

What varies is the animals, the plant side and the minerals. Protein runs from 35.8% to 43.2% of dry matter and fat from 18.2% to 32.3%. Calcium spans 0.91% to 2.37% of dry matter, so the tray you pick shifts the mineral picture far more than the flavour name suggests.
