WetAdult

Flavour

A soft, savoury tin with an analysis that beats most wet food on starch, held in our Average band by a three-line label. Beef, chicken or turkey is named at 4%, and everything else is meat and animal derivatives. Underneath the name, the three recipes are the same.

Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs that do best on almost no starch: estimated carbohydrate is 2.8% of dry matter
Poor drinkers, since the tins run to 82.0% moisture
Fussy eaters. A soft meat loaf warms easily and stirs into what they already eat
A change of flavour with no change of recipe
Dogs that run on fat, at 36.1% of dry matter
Adults of any size, with no breed or build conditions on the tin

Worth watching

The named animal is only 4%, so none of the three can anchor an elimination diet
Unnamed derivatives mean the beef tin may carry poultry and the chicken tin red meat
Cassia gum as the thickener, an entry some owners prefer to avoid in wet food
No energy figure on the label, so calories and portions here are our estimate

The score, in context

Beef 43.4
Chicken 43.4
Turkey 43.4

All three Average. Typical wet food: Excellent.

The analysis would earn a higher place, and what holds all three tins back is how little the ingredient list commits to.

What's in it

Meat and animal derivatives, with beef4% beefBeef is the only species pinned down. The rest is the legal category, which can be anything from prime cuts to trimmings.
Minerals
Rosemary0.02%A natural antioxidant keeping the fats from turning.

Vitamin D3 at 200 IU with iodine, manganese and zinc, plus cassia gum at 2.6 g as a thickener.

The only red meat in the trio, though the unnamed derivatives may still include poultry.

Named ingredients

Meat and animal derivatives (4% beef), minerals, 0.02% rosemary.

Against the range

Named meat: Beef, 4%; Chicken or turkey at the same 4%.
Analysis: Protein 47.2%, fat 36.1% of dry matter; Identical on all three.

The obvious pick for a dog bored of poultry.

Three tins on one recipe: meat and animal derivatives with a named animal at 4%, minerals, and rosemary at 0.02%. The named animal is the only thing that changes from tin to tin, and the analysis is identical across all three.

Protein converts to 47.2% of dry matter, fat to 36.1% and estimated carbohydrate to 2.8%. The added panel is short and fully printed, with cassia gum at 2.6 g as the thickener.
