Alpha Spirit Mediterranean Diet Wet Sausage Iberian Pork review

Name: Alpha Spirit Mediterranean Diet Wet Sausage Iberian Pork
Brand: Alpha Spirit

63/100Good

WetAdult

A Good-band ham sausage with one of the shortest lists we read: 93% fresh meat with ham printed at 90%, then 5% vegetables and natural spices. Pork is a meat plenty of dogs have never eaten. What holds it back is what the label leaves unsaid.

Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs that react to the common meats, as pork stays uncommon in dog food
A high meat share, ham alone printed at 90%
Grain-avoiding households. Nothing here is a cereal
Adult dogs of any size on a single recipe
Dogs that eat better from a sliced sausage than a spooned tray

Worth watching

The sliver of fresh meat beyond the ham has no animal named
Vegetables and spices grouped under one heading, so their makeup can change between batches
Crude ash at 9.4% of dry matter, worth mentioning if your vet manages minerals

The score, in context

Alpha Spirit Mediterranean Diet Wet Sausage Iberian Pork 63.0

All one Good. Typical wet food: Excellent.

The sausage itself does most things right, and the score sits a step under typical wet because less of the label can be checked.
