Our read The ingredients
An ordinary puppy pouch with a token DHA dose
Signature feature
DHA
With DHA to help support brain development
What it is Fish oil, 17th on the list and just below the salt, supplies the DHA. The pack guarantees at least 0.02% DHA in the pouch.
Our grade
- Marketing
- Modest
- Meaningful
DHA really does help build a puppy's brain and eyes. But 0.02% works out to about 20 mg a pouch, which is routine for puppy food rather than an edge.
Modest Real, but smaller than the pack makes it sound.
Wheat gluten, pea protein and corn gluten meal all sit in the top 11. Part of the protein here comes from plants, not chicken.
- 5 Wheat Gluten
- 10 Pea Protein
- 11 Corn Gluten Meal

Is it a high-protein food?

Is it a meal?
Either way
Pedigree's guide feeds it alone or swaps 1 pouch for 1/3 cup of its puppy kibble. For bigger puppies, mixing is the practical route.
- Feed it to
- Small and toy breed puppies, and puppies on kibble whose owners want a wet mix-in.
- Skip it for
- Large breed puppies fed pouches alone, dogs allergic to wheat, corn or chicken, and owners avoiding BHT or added color.
