Amazon Wet Chunks in Gravy: Beef review

Name: Amazon Wet Chunks in Gravy: Beef
Brand: Amazon

30.6/100Average

WetAdult

Flavour

A large own label can of chunks in gravy, in beef and poultry, and both read the same on the back. Only 4% of the animal content is tied to a species, which is what holds both in our Average band. Nothing in the gravy is troubling, and protein converts to a respectable 37.5% of dry matter.

Our view

Likely to suit

Larger dogs: the guide runs up to a 60 kg dog and the can holds 1.24 kg
Dogs that eat better with gravy to lick up
More than one dog to feed
Dogs that drink less than you would like, at 80.0% moisture
A moderate bowl, with fat at 22.5% of dry matter

Worth watching

Only 4% of the 28% animal content is named, so neither tin can carry an elimination diet
Unnamed cereals, and carbohydrate at an estimated 25.5% of dry matter against 15.8% typical
Various sugars on the list

All two Average. Typical wet food: Excellent.

The analysis is decent enough, and the score turns on how little of the animal content the tins pin to a species.

Against the range

Named animal: Beef, 4%; Poultry, 4%, on the other can.
Analysis: Protein 37.5%, fat 22.5% of dry matter; Identical on the poultry.

The name on the front is the whole of the difference, and beef is the more specific of the two.

Both cans carry the same five entries, the same analysis and the same dosed additive panel. Meat and animal derivatives make up 28%, with 4% tied to the named animal, and unnamed cereals, vegetable protein extracts and various sugars follow. Only the named species changes.
