Amazon Meaty Selection in Jelly: Senior review

Brand: Amazon

35.9/100Average

WetAdultSenior

Amazon's own-label jelly multipack reads better in its analysis than in its ingredients. Protein converts to 48.6% of dry matter and estimated carbohydrate to 8.0%, against 15.8% for the typical adult wet food. Nearly every line on the list is a legal category, which is why it lands in our Average band.

Our view

Likely to suit

An older dog and a younger one fed from the same box; it is listed for adults and seniors
Fussy eaters, with four flavours arriving together
Dogs that need their protein kept up
Careful portioners, as each pouch holds 100 g
Dogs that drink little: moisture is declared at 82.5%

Worth watching

Only 4% of each pouch is pinned to the named animal, so none of the four can anchor an elimination diet
The oils, plant derivatives and vegetable protein extracts are category terms whose sources can change between batches
Any differences between the four pouches go unpublished

The score, in context

Senior 35.9

All one Average. Typical wet food: Excellent.

The analysis is respectable for a wet food; the Average reading is about how thinly the label describes the meat.

What's in it

Meat and animal derivatives40%Any warm-blooded land animal and any part of it. The 4% beef, chicken, lamb or poultry is the only fixed point.
Oils and fatsNo source named.
Minerals
Derivatives of vegetable origin, including inulin0.4% inulinA soluble fibre that feeds the useful gut bacteria. A gentle nudge at this level.
Vegetable protein extracts

Vitamin D3, vitamin E and biotin with zinc, manganese, copper and iodine, printed once for all four pouches.

Beef, chicken, lamb and poultry all come in the same box, which makes a strict avoidance list hard to run.
