Our read The label

A rich cup built for growing puppies

The number

120g

Approximate weight of one cup. A kitchen scale keeps portions consistent as your puppy grows and its daily needs change.
  1. Is a cup a normal cup?

    Calorie dense

    Each cup has about 21% more calories than the average dry food we list, so measure portions as your puppy grows.

  2. Where do the calories come from?

    Fat leads

    Fat contributes about 42% of the calories, more than protein or carbohydrate. That fuels growth but raises the stakes for overfeeding.

Feed it to
Growing puppies with sensitive skin or digestion that tolerate fish and grains and need calorie rich food.
Skip it for
Adult dogs, puppies allergic to fish, and puppies whose vets prescribe a low fat diet.

    One honest caveat. These figures are what a label will tell us: protein, starch, the top of the ingredient list, flagged additives and the brand’s recall record. They cannot tell you whether your dog will do well on this food. Allergies, gut sensitivity, age and health conditions all matter more than any of it, and none of them are printed on a bag. If your dog is thriving on a food whose figures read lower than this one, that is not a mistake, and we would not switch on our say-so.
