How we chose these foods
Trays, tins and pouches go through the same four pillars as dry food, out of 100, so a wet recipe and a kibble can be compared directly. The page lists them by overall score, best first. Our scores come from the label and the declared analysis, and no brand has any say in them.

Complete or complementary
The word to look for on a wet pack is complete. A complete recipe is built to be your dog's whole diet. A complementary one is a topper. It is meant to sit alongside a complete food, and it will not feed a dog on its own.
Both have their place. The trouble starts when a complementary tray quietly becomes dinner, so check the small print on anything you feed every day.

Frequently asked questions
Is wet food better for dogs?
Wet food is neither better nor worse than dry. It suits different dogs and different households. The high moisture helps dogs that drink little, and the softer texture suits older mouths and fussy eaters. It costs more per meal and needs the fridge once opened. The quality of the recipe matters more than the format.
