Name: Alpha Spirit Imperial Wet Sausage Iberian Pork
Brand: Alpha Spirit

75.5/100Excellent

WetAdult

Wet food in sausage form: 96% fresh pork with only beet fibre and collagen behind it. You slice it instead of spooning it, and it carries far more energy per mouthful than a tin. It lands in our Excellent band, with nutritional balance and transparency both reading Outstanding.

Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs kept on pork alone. It is the only meat on the list
Dogs that have reacted to the usual meats, as pork is new to a great many of them
Small appetites. At 160 kcal per 100g it does more with less than the 97 kcal typical of adult wet food
Owners who want something sliceable for training rewards or topping a meal
Dogs that do best on low starch, at an estimated 4.8% carbohydrate in dry matter

Worth watching

Collagen with no species named. Ask before a strict pork-only trial
Fat at 34.5% of dry matter, rich for a dog who gains weight easily
An opened sausage needs wrapping and the fridge, so a small dog leaves part-used food to store
