Brand: Aatu

80.1/100Outstanding

WetAdult

Flavour

A meat-heavy, grain-free wet range that finishes ahead of the typical wet food, three recipes in our Outstanding band and two a shade under in Excellent. The 90% animal headline holds up: 60% named meat and 30% of its own broth, both declared. Only the animal changes from one recipe to the next.

Our view

Likely to suit

Owners who want the animal content itemised to the percent
Dogs on a single protein. The Angus Beef and Chicken each keep to one animal
Grain-avoiding homes, with sweet potato and tapioca carrying the starch
Rotation feeders: five recipes, one construction
Dogs that drink less than they should, as about three quarters of each serving is moisture

Worth watching

The 90% includes broth. The named animal itself is 60%
The joint trio is dosed only on the Tuna & Salmon
One 400g size, so a small dog's opened food needs covering in the fridge

Against the range

Meat: Duck 30%, turkey 30%, turkey broth 30%; Beef and chicken keep to one animal.
Protein, dry matter: 46.2%; 40.0% to 49.5% across the five.

The natural next step for a dog happiest on poultry but tired of chicken.

Every recipe declares 90% animal content: 60% named animal and 30% broth from the same animal, each with a percentage. Below that sits the same plant base, sweet potato, carrots, peas and chickpeas with tapioca binding, and no cereal on any label. A long tail of fruits and herbs runs at trace level, and glucosamine, chondroitin and MSM close every list.

What changes is the animal: beef, chicken, duck and turkey, tuna and salmon, or pork and wild boar. Protein runs from 40.0% to 49.5% of dry matter.
