Product Information

Without knowing more, it’s impossible to judge the quality of an item so vaguely described. However, compared to a named animal fat, a generic vegetable oil cannot be considered a quality ingredient. Royal Canin Mini Puppy in Gravyhas been specially developed to satisfy even the fussiest of dogs. The tasty chunks in gravy are tailored in texture and size for small breed puppies, boosting appetite with its irresistible flavour. This wet food provides your puppy with a positive sensory experience and is ideal for combining with Royal Canin Mini Puppy dry food.

This inexpensive plant-based ingredient can significantly boost the total protein reported on the label — a factor that must be considered when judging the actual meat content of this dog food.

The second ingredient mentions brewers rice. Brewers rice is a cereal grain by-product consisting of the small fragments left over after milling whole rice.

And below-average carbs when compared to a typical dry dog food. Compared to meat, glutens are inferior grain-based proteins lower in some of the essential amino acids dogs need for life.Thirdly, this recipe contains fructooligosaccharide, an alternative sweetener 1 probably used here as a prebiotic.

But ingredient quality by itself cannot tell the whole story. We still need to estimate the product’s meat content before determining a final rating. Your puppy’s growth period is an important life stage; it’s the time of discovery and change. While your puppy is still growing, it’s important that its diet supports optimal health.The shape of the kibble is small and easy to chew, perfect for your puppy’s small mouth, and both the smell and flavour are optimised to tempt even the fussiest of dogs; it also helps to support its dental health and general oral hygiene But to be realistic, ingredients located this far down the list (other than nutritional supplements) are not likely to affect the overall rating of this product.

The fourth item is corn. Corn is an inexpensive and controversial cereal grain of only modest nutritional value to a dog. Some denounce beet pulp as an inexpensive filler while others cite its outstanding intestinal health and blood sugar benefits.Next, we find no mention of probiotics, friendly bacteria applied to the surface of the kibble after processing to help with digestion. What’s more, the intense energy content in ROYAL CANIN® Mini Puppy in Gravy will meet the high energy needs of your small breed puppy. The seventh ingredient is beet pulp. Beet pulp is a controversial ingredient, a high fiber by-product of sugar beet processing.
