Signature feature
Added vitamins
Natural with added vitamins, minerals & nutrients
What it is Vitamin and mineral supplements are mixed into this chicken, rice and corn puppy kibble. Their ingredient groups sit below salt.
Our grade
- Marketing
- Modest
- Meaningful
The supplements supply nutrients that chicken, rice and corn alone cannot reliably provide. That matters during growth, but fortification is standard in puppy kibble, so this claim gives little reason to switch foods.
Modest Real, but smaller than the pack makes it sound.
Chicken leads, and corn protein meal plus soybean meal sit high enough to contribute to the protein total.
- 1 Chicken
- 3 corn protein meal
- 6 soybean meal

Our read The label
Fat supplies the biggest share of puppy calories
43%
-
Is it high in protein?
About average
Protein sits just above the dry food average on a dry matter basis. This is a growth recipe, not a protein outlier.
-
Is this grain free?
No
Rice, corn and oats sit high in the recipe. A puppy with a diagnosed allergy to one of these needs a different food.
- Feed it to
- Growing puppies that do well on chicken and grains, and owners willing to measure portions through rapid growth.
- Skip it for
- Adult dogs, puppies with chicken allergies, and dogs on a prescribed low fat diet.
