In detail
Tesco: the closer look
The range
Seventeen products, eleven wet and six dry. The wet side runs pouches, cans, pate trays and the Kingswood recipe, with the mixed selections at three products each. The dry side holds adult and senior Complete and Balanced Nutrition kibble, Kingswood dry and a puppy food. Fourteen labels are adult.
Ingredients
Chicken leads on nine products, with lamb on four and beef on two. Two recipes are grain free and one is single protein. Five labels are flagged for weight management. Taurine appears on the pouches and on the Kingswood dry, which also lists linseed, salmon oil and yucca.
Nutrition
The wet food runs about 7.5% to 10.0% protein as fed, with energy of roughly 78 to 105 kcal per 100g. Most of the kibble is 21.0% to 25.0% protein and 336 to 370 kcal. Nutritional balance is Outstanding on eleven recipes and Poor on five.
Strengths
- Nutritional balance Outstanding on eleven recipes
- Transparency Excellent or better on thirteen
- Wet and dry both covered
Limitations

- Thirteen of seventeen products read Average
- Value reads Average on thirteen products
Where it is less of a fit
- If protein and processing matters most to you, check that pillar first, as it reads Poor on eight recipes
- If you want grain-free food, check the labels, since two products carry that flag
- If you feed a senior dog, check the range, as two labels cover that stage
