WetAdult

A fish sausage in our Good band, with fresh fish at 94% and almost nothing else. Protein converts to 51.4% of dry matter and estimated carbohydrate to 1.5%, a serious analysis for something sold in slices. What the pack will not say is which fish.

Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs that do better on fish than on meat
Owners after a high protein wet food
Dogs kept away from grain: beet fibre is the only plant entry of any size
Adult dogs from toy breeds to giants
Rotating proteins, as a change of pace from meat

Worth watching

No species on the fish, so a dog reacting to one particular fish gets no steer
Collagen names no animal, which loses the fish-only reading on a strict elimination diet
Dense for a wet food at 149 kcal per 100g against 97 typical, so portions are smaller than they look

The score, in context

Alpha Spirit Imperial Wet Sausage Wild Fish 63.2

All one Good. Typical wet food: Excellent.

It sits inside a strong field without leading it, and the unnamed fish is the single thing keeping protein and processing a step down.
