Skinner’s Field & Trial Puppy – Complete Dry Food, Sensitive, Supports Gut Health, Key Nutrients, 15kg

Product Information

Lamb & Rice: Whole rice (38%), lamb meat meal, naked oats, sunflower oil, pea protein, linseed, whole peas, brewer’s yeast, beet pulp, sunflower expellers, whole dried egg, vitamins, minerals and trace elements. The only downside of wet puppy food, in general, is that it is more expensive than dry food (for obvious reasons) – typically around three to four times more expensive. However, if you want to provide your puppy with a completely natural and less processed food, Skinner’s Field & Trial Puppy food is a fantastic choice.

Carb-rich ingredients: includes all ingredients derived from grains, pseudo-grains, potatoes and other starchy root vegetables, sweet potato and legumes (except whole peas which are categorised under fruit and veg) except for isolated protein and extracted oils. Also includes fibre supplements. According to the marketing blurb, Skinner’s wet puppy food is made from 100% natural ingredients, contains a full range of vitamins and minerals, contains moderate amounts of protein and fat, is easy to digest, is highly palatable, is grain-free, and is perfect for puppies who are fussy eaters.

Nutrition

Our Grain-free wet food range can be fed as a complete diet or as the perfect topper to add some more textures and flavours which will help even the fussiest eaters enjoy their meal. For this reason we've calculated the approximate 'as fed' percentages for the main ingredient categories in the finished product. Well, when trying to decipher whether or not a puppy food is going to be a healthy choice for your little four-legged friend, the main factor that needs to be considered is protein and fat levels – in addition to where the protein(s) and fat(s) come from, i.e. how much protein and fat is there and do they come from high-quality sources?

But as you mentioned kibble density & bloat I felt I had to put my view over as well as felt it was hopefully helpful. Like the vast majority of puppy food manufacturers, Skinner’s also offers wet food for puppies – so let’s see how this performs. As we always do when we review animal foods, we’ll start by casting our eye over the marketing blurb of the products before analysing the ingredient profile and analytical constituents to see if they do indeed ‘walk the walk’ after ‘talking the talk’ in the aforementioned advertising spiel.

RETURNS

Puppy food should contain at least 24% protein, and, in an ideal world, the protein:fat ratio should be somewhere around 1:.75. Plus, the protein should largely come from high-quality sources, i.e. meat, eggs, etc. This dry puppy food is made to a wheat-free and maize-free recipe that’s great for sensitive digestion.
