77.5/100Excellent

WetAdult

A sausage built on two birds that says which: 93% poultry meat, broken down as turkey at 52% and chicken at 41%. The word poultry heads the entry, and the bracket underneath leaves nothing to the imagination. It lands in our Excellent band.

Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs that do well on turkey, the largest single share at 52%
Owners wary of the word poultry. The two named birds account for the full 93%
Adult dogs on a grain-free plan; there is no cereal on the label
Dogs that need a rich bowl to hold their weight, with fat at 36.5% of dry matter
Adults of every size, toy breeds to giants

Worth watching

Chicken in the sausage alongside the turkey
Vegetables and natural spices grouped under one 5% heading, not itemised
At 162 kcal per 100g it carries far more energy than the 97 typical of adult wet food

The score, in context

Alpha Spirit Mediterranean Diet Wet Sausage Poultry 77.5

All one Excellent. Typical wet food: Excellent.

The distance above the typical wet food comes down to how little of the recipe is anything other than named bird.

What's in it

Turkey52%The lead meat: gentle on digestion and naturally lower in fat than chicken.
Chicken41%Very palatable, and for the same reason the meat dogs most often stop tolerating. Together the two birds make the full 93%.
Vegetables and natural spices5%The only plant entry, grouped, so the contents can change without a reprint. Carbohydrate is an estimated 4.4% of dry matter.

Every additive carries a figure, vitamin A at 7954 IU per kilo down to iodine in milligrams, which is not a given on a wet label.

Named ingredients

93% Poultry Meat (52% Turkey + 41% Chicken), 5% Vegetables and Natural Spices.
