Ingredient Review
Our review of Under the Sun Grain-Free Puppy Chicken Formula Canned Dog Food begins with a detailed look at the food’s ingredients.
The first ingredient is Chicken. Chicken is meat from the domesticated bird of the same name. In pet food, chicken is used as a primary protein source.
The second ingredient is Chicken Broth. Chicken broth is made by boiling chicken meat, skin, and bones to obtain nutrients including fat, vitamins, and minerals. In pet food, chicken broth increases moisture and improves flavor.
The third ingredient is Dried Egg. Dried egg is a broad term that can refer to dried egg yolks, dried egg whites, dried whole eggs, eggshells, or any combination of different parts of the egg. In pet food, dried egg is typically used as a source of protein, although it also has thickening and binding properties.
The fourth ingredient is Peas. Pea is a general term to describe whole, split, or milled peas, which are a grain-free, gluten-free source of protein, fiber, and carbohydrates. In pet food, pea products serve as an energy source as well as a supplementary source of vitamins and minerals.
The fifth ingredient is Salmon Oil. Salmon oil can be a good source of Omega-3 fatty acids. In pet food, salmon oil may help support your companion’s joint health while contributing to healthy skin and a soft, shiny coat.

Nutritional Analysis
A puppy needs plenty of calories to support their growth and development. In general, puppy foods are much higher in calories to help support all of the extra energy that goes into growth. Depending on your pup’s breed, they may need to continue eating puppy food for between 6 and 24 months. Small breeds tend to mature more quickly than large breeds. Make sure to ask your veterinarian how long your puppy should remain on a puppy formula.
