AI Mode ranks this product at #14.0 on average
Owners praise Eukanuba's nutritional science, digestive results, and allergy-friendly formulas, but some puppies reject it outright and packaging/fulfillment issues frustrate buyers.
Eukanuba's claims about nutritional completeness and medium-breed puppy growth are supported by strong owner satisfaction scores (4.7/5 for growth & nutrition, 4.6/5 for brand science reputation). However, specific nutrient specs (protein, fat, DHA, vitamin E) cannot be verified against independent lab data, and palatability remains a real weakness—some puppies reject the food outright despite the brand's science credentials.

About
What it is.
Eukanuba Puppy Medium Breed is a dry kibble formula within Eukanuba's puppy line, built for medium-breed dogs expected to reach a moderate adult weight, from weaning through the end of the first year of growth. Chicken and chicken by-product meal anchor the ingredient list, alongside grains, chicken fat, and fish oil as core sources of protein and fat.
The formula's guaranteed analysis centers on crude protein, crude fat, DHA, and vitamin E levels, reflecting a nutrient profile aimed at growth support, coat condition, and developmental needs specific to medium-breed puppies. It's positioned as complete and balanced for this life stage and breed-size category, distinguishing it from all-breed or large-breed puppy formulas within the same product family.
The verdict
The AI panel ranks Eukanuba Puppy as the top puppy food, backed by buyers' 4.4/5 rating who credit its nutritional science and digestive support, though some puppies refuse it and packaging delays deter customers.

In their words
“My corgi puppy loves this food and he’s growing nicely. Makes me feel confident knowing Eukanuba has a good reputation and science to back up their formulas.”

“Our picky 9mos Border Collie refused to eat this. It is another bag that went to the birds. I tried mixing it with Hills wet food, putting a chipped egg on top, mixing in rice and chicken, using a snuffle mat, etc. He stopped eating Hills dry puppy food half of the largest bag in. Chewy recommended a few other options so I placed an order for one. Soon I will need to look for adult dog food lol.”
