Wet food in a puppy's diet
Pâté is handy in the first weeks after a puppy moves to a new home: the soft texture and strong smell help the youngster eat more willingly, and it mixes easily with softened kibble. Later it can stay in the diet for variety or as a reward. On feeding puppies by age, see what to feed a puppy by age.

How to feed a puppy
Most often the pâté is added to puppy kibble — a spoonful or two per meal, with less kibble. Serve at room temperature. If you want to make it the main food, follow the amount on the tin for your puppy's weight and track growth by weighing. Fresh water should always be available. For dry puppy food, see for example Brit Premium Junior L for large breeds.
Using it as a treat
Soft pâté is handy in training: offer a little from a spoon or squeeze it into a treat toy. It keeps your puppy busy for longer while you reinforce good behaviour. Remember to count these treats in the daily ration. More in training treats for dogs.
Storage
Keep unopened tins somewhere cool and dry. Cover opened food and refrigerate it, letting portions warm up before feeding. The best-before date and batch number are on the pack.
Other By Nature pâtés
For adult dogs the range includes, for example, By Nature Beef with Tripe and Lamb with Buckwheat. All wet foods are in the canned dog food section.
Who it suits
Puppies and young dogs of any breed that are moving to a new food or eating without appetite; owners who want to add variety to a puppy's dry diet; and anyone needing a soft training treat. It doesn't suit puppies allergic to chicken.
Verdict
Brit Premium By Nature Turkey with Liver is a turkey and liver meat pâté for puppies and young dogs: grain- and salt-free, with chamomile and salmon oil, and handy as a kibble topper or treat. The downsides are 22% chicken and a modest energy level, so a puppy's diet is best built on a dedicated puppy food.
