Suitable for puppies of all diets, this food is free from grains, cereals and gluten, and artificial additives too. Pooch & Mutt is a small and multi-award-winning British company that is also accredited by PETA and The Ethical Companies Organisation. By purchasing this product, you're providing the best to your puppy from the start and also supporting small businesses!

Let's be honest – the packaging of this product is so adorable that you'll want your puppy to try this brand immediately! However, more importantly, the wet food inside is made with 70% British salmon along with only sweet potato, peas and slippery elm, nothing more and nothing less.

While salmon contains plenty of protein and amino acids, it's also gentle for your puppy to digest. Slippery elm is a natural stomach soother too, so along with the grain-free recipe, you'll never have to worry about your puppy having an upset stomach again. This food is suitable for dogs of all ages, so you can continue to feed it to your pet as they grow. 

As a company that has over 100 years of experience in making pet food, you can tell Wellness Core care about your puppy just as much as you do. This particular product is specially formulated for your growing puppy and contains higher protein and fewer carbohydrates to ensure optimum growth and well-being. 

Wellness Core has also added extra omega 3 extracted from salmon oil which promotes the healthy development of the brain and eyes. Only packed with the most important nutrients and quality ingredients, your puppy is sure to grow into a healthy and beautiful adult dog with this food in its bowl. 

This might be a dry food, but besides lamb meal it also contains lamb fat and gravy, both essential for taste and your puppy's diet. While grains are used, white and brown rice and barley can be easily digested, so even if your puppy has an upset stomach from one thing or another, it'll still be able to consume nutrients with this product. 

With pomegranate, green tea and rosemary added to this complete food, it will support your puppy's immune system giving you the peace of mind they'll fight off any signs of illness. It's also one of the more budget-friendly options on our list!

We know all dogs love wet food, so why not start from the moment they're weaning? As the only wet food suitable for 4+ weeks, you can spoil your puppy from a very young age. We're sure they won't complain about it! 

If you're keen to know where the meat you're feeding your pets is sourced, we can tell you that with Butcher's food, it's all from trusted British and Irish farmers. As well as supporting a local company, you can guarantee the quality of your puppy's food is excellent. 

Made here in the UK in Devon, this product contains 75% duck meat which will provide sufficient protein for your puppy's growth. It also has the highest meat content on this list and probably one of the highest on the market too!

As well as being suitable for sensitive stomachs, there are natural herbs added too; chamomile will help to calm your puppy down, and rosemary aids better absorption of nutrients. Depending on the size of the expected adult dog weight, you'll need to portion this product accordingly and make sure you don't underfeed or overfeed your puppy. 

It's rather rare that puppy food contains both poultry meat and fish meal, so choosing this food means your puppy will be consuming a great mix of nutrients and protein! You'll see your puppy growing with strong bones and teeth and with great skin health, and that's the best any owner can ask for. 

As it contains wheat and maize, some puppy's stomachs might not be able to handle this food too well, while others may love the flavour and see no reaction at all. So, you might want to keep an eye on your pup and see how they get on with this food.

It's always good news for owners when you find a great bulk-buy at an affordable price, let alone one from a trusted brand with various flavours for your puppy to choose from. With this multi-pack, it'll be an exciting experience for your puppy too!

Developed with the Waltham Petcare Science Institute, Pedigree ensures your puppy's food contains all the essentials. Some owners have expressed that the feeding guide can be confusing, so it might take some time to work out the best portion sizes for your puppy.

With 4 flavours to choose from each with all the essential vitamins and minerals needed, your puppy will surely enjoy having a different variety each mealtime. As these are packaged in 400 g cans, it is a perfect way to feed multiple pups at once whilst saving money!

If you only have one puppy, however, you'll have to manually portion out each meal and store the open can somewhere where it won't spoil. It may not be the most convenient, but if you're looking to cut costs this can't be beaten.

Who doesn't love petting a growing puppy with a beautiful shiny coat? Not to mention, a healthy coat is a sign of a healthy dog. Many customers report that this product helps their puppy to achieve just that! Start feeding your puppy with this product at an early age to waste no time on providing the right nutrients for healthy skin and fur. 

Though there is a good amount of protein, it's not specified what kind of grains are used in this product. While cereal isn't particularly harmful to your puppy's health, it has no particular nutrition value for canines either.
