64.1/100Good

WetPuppy

A soft puppy food whose pieces are easy on a young mouth, sitting in our Good band. Fresh chicken leads at 41%. Calcium is added on purpose and printed, which is the detail that matters most on a growth food.

Our view

Likely to suit

Puppies of every size, toy to giant
Large-breed pups: the declared calcium sits where slow, even growth wants it
Cupboard storage and a scoop, with no fridge and no defrost
Pups still finding their adult teeth
A staging post off milk and mush

Worth watching

Dried poultry protein and hydrolysate that do not name the bird
Fish oil on the list
Soft pieces carry more energy than their size suggests, so weigh portions

The score, in context

Wolf Of Wilderness Soft Junior 64.1

All one Good. Typical wet food: Excellent.

There is no semi-moist cohort to compare against, so the band rests on the label: named chicken and printed calcium pull up, the potato base and unnamed poultry hold it back.

What's in it

Protein hydrolysate (from poultry)1.5%
Dicalcium phosphateAdded deliberately for a growing skeleton.
Fresh chicken liverFew denser natural sources of copper and B12.
Yeast extract, chicoryMannan oligosaccharides, beta glucans and inulin.
Dried wild berries, nine dried herbs0.3%, 0.2%

A full vitamin run and trace minerals each with a dose, zinc twice, once as an oxide and once as an amino acid chelate that absorbs more readily.
