Not every puppy needs a strict single-protein diet from day one — some are simply moving from a breeder's mixed food onto something with a bit more structure, and a chicken-and-lamb blend is a gentler step than jumping straight to one meat and rice alone.

Chicken makes up 46% of the meaty chunk here and lamb 31%, alongside a mix of brown and white rice, carrots and peas. It is a complete food for puppies, and James Wellbeloved's stated approach across the range is to exclude beef, pork, soya, eggs, dairy and wheat.

• Complete wet food for puppies, chicken and lamb named as shares of the meaty chunk
• Chicken 46% and lamb 31% of the chunk, which is typically 37.5% of the pouch
• Protein 5.5%, fat 4.0%, crude ash 1.6%, crude fibre 0.50%
• Calcium 0.25% and phosphorus 0.18% for growth
• Contains rice — not a grain-free recipe
• 90G pouches

On what "46% chicken" means. Chicken at 46% and lamb at 31% are both shares of the meaty chunk, which James Wellbeloved state is typically 37.5% of the whole pouch — so as a share of the pouch itself, both figures are considerably smaller than they look at first glance. That's standard for a gravy pouch rather than anything specific to this recipe, but it's easy to read "46% chicken" as meaning nearly half the pouch, which it doesn't.

Who it's for: puppies moving onto a two-meat blend rather than a strict single protein, where no specific sensitivity has been identified yet.
