[2026 Latest] Natural Puppy Dry Food Comparison & Recommendations | Nutritional Comparison of 12 Major Brands

Which puppy food is best?

Hello everyone! Following our previous When Should a Puppy Switch to Adult Dog Food article, we hope all mums and dads now have a basic understanding of dog food. Haven’t read it yet? Then do click through to take a look, thank you! There are many different brands of natural puppy food on the market, and every brand says it’s good — but is there really any standard? We often get asked by customers: “Which puppy food is right for my dog?”, “Which puppy food is best?”, or “Do you have any puppy food recommendations?”. To help all new mums and dads, we’ve compiled the popular puppy food brands on the market so that new parents have a clearer comparison. As they say, numbers don’t lie: we’ve done our best to find the published ingredient information from manufacturers / distributors, organised it, and produced this purely comparative article. We hope you find it useful, and thank you for your support of BC Pets!

Thank you so much for visiting BC Pets website! We are your one-stop pet food and accessories shop. This blog compares the well-known puppy food brands in Hong Kong. We address the questions like ”Which type of dog food is good for my puppy?” or “Do you have any recommendations on puppy food?”. To save your time on “Learn By Doing”, we gathered all the published information, from the pet food manufacturer to the authorized distributor in Hong Kong. The goal is to provide you with complete and unbiased information so that you can have a better idea of what your new furry friend is going to eat. So let’s rumble!

What information should I consider?

From the moment they are born, puppies grow rapidly into “dog babies”, and what they need most is protein, fat and fibre, so let us first look at how much of these three main ingredients each brand contains:
Since the day our new furry friend was born, they are having a metabolic burst so they can grow quickly from palm-size into adult dogs in only 12 months. For this reason, the most important things are crude protein, crude fat, and crude fibre. Please click the thumbnail below to view the full-size chart.

OK, Feeling a bit dizzy after reading the above detailed charts?🥴

In fact, every bag of food has a different description — how do you know whether it’s grain-free? Whether it’s single protein? Whether the flavour of the food suits your dog? Which brand has the lowest phosphorus? Which brand’s food is richest in Omega-3? Don’t worry, we’ve put together a single page that clearly lays out all the questions on your mind~ Hmm… still not quite clear? You can simply tap the bouncing green WhatsApp button at the bottom right to message us, and our colleagues will be happy to answer your questions!
The simplified chart is shown below (such as the flavor of the food; whether it’s grain-free or not) to help you choose the best fit for your puppy! For example, the AATU puppy food has the highest Omega-3 content while it’s the only Single Protein Diet on the list! Or, are you looking for the puppy food that contains the lowest Phosphorus? Let’s click the link below to find out:

What is the daily cost for my puppy? And how long will that bag of puppy food last?😉

Actually, some brands’ food is so pricey per bag — wouldn’t the daily food expense alone be rather dear? For large breeds, because they burn a lot of energy, they need a bit more to top up, so the daily cost is indeed a touch higher; but compared with the cost of our own three meals a day, the money you’d spend is actually less than you’d imagine! We’ve prepared a comparison chart for you, setting out how much of each puppy food should be fed per day, how much that works out to per day, and roughly how many days a bag lasts, so that every mum and dad has a clear idea (please note: we’ve calculated based on the appetite of a puppy about 6 months old weighing 5 lbs); in fact, looking back at the figures, a pricey bag of food doesn’t necessarily have the highest daily cost! (laugh)😂
Let’s look at the chart below. When you compare the daily cost of puppy food to their regular diet food, you will be surprised to discover how cheap is the daily expense. The chart shows that the weight of a 6-month old puppy is about 5 lbs. We understand that every puppy is unique. You will get a better idea of the costs across different brands in the chart.

Isn’t that a lovely surprise? A dog’s daily food actually costs just a few dollars to a dozen or so dollars — unbelievably good value, isn’t it? 🤣😂
So you will see, the daily cost for your puppy is much less than your breakfast! Phew! What a relief… heh! 😻🤩
