Arden Grange Adult Wet: With fresh lamb & rice review

Name: Arden Grange Adult Wet: With fresh lamb & rice
Brand: Arden Grange

75.3/100Excellent

WetAdult

Flavour

Two tins on 70% fresh meat, one chicken and one lamb, both in our Excellent band. Less of each tin is water than in most wet food. That makes a denser, more filling meal than the 395 g size suggests.

Our view

Likely to suit

Bigger dogs and busy ones. At an estimated 129 kcal per 100g these tins carry more energy than most wet food
Owners who want the meat share printed
Older or heavy-framed dogs, with glucosamine and chondroitin on the list
Dogs that do well on a little gentle grain: rice at 5% or 6%
Alternating meats while everything else stays the same

Worth watching

Fish oil and dried seaweed on both labels, so neither suits a dog avoiding fish
No amount printed for the glucosamine or chondroitin
Selenium comes as sodium selenite, which some owners steer around

The score, in context

With fresh chicken 75.6
With fresh lamb 75.3

All two Excellent. Typical wet food: Excellent.

Coming out ahead of the middle in a category that scores this well takes some doing, and the declared meat share with a full printed analysis is what does it.

What's in it

Fresh lamb70%Named and weighed on the label.
Rice6%The only cereal.
Minerals
Dried peas, dried carrotsPeas add some protein and fibre; carrots bring vitamin A.
Beet pulpA steady, gentle fibre most dogs digest without fuss.
Fish oil, dried seaweedOmega 3 from the oil, iodine from the seaweed. Neither tin is fish free.
Glucosamine, chondroitinNo amount printed, so a friendly extra and not a measured dose.
Cranberry extract, yucca extractYucca is there with an eye on how the garden smells.
Yeast extract (high nucleotides)

Fully dosed: vitamins A, D3 and E ahead of zinc, iron, copper, manganese and iodine, with selenium as sodium selenite, the more basic of the two permitted forms.

Named ingredients

Fresh lamb (70%), Rice (6%), Minerals, Dried Peas, Dried Carrots, Beet Pulp, Fish Oil, Dried Seaweed, Glucosamine, Chondroitin, Cranberry Extract, Yucca Extract, Yeast Extract (high nucleotides).

Against the range

Meat: Fresh lamb, 70%; Fresh chicken, 70%
Rice: 6%; 5% in the chicken
Analysis: Identical; Same panel on both

The gentler option for a dog that has had its fill of poultry.

Both tins declare 70% fresh meat, named and weighed, with rice the only cereal and dried peas, dried carrots and beet pulp on the plant side. Fish oil, dried seaweed, glucosamine, chondroitin, cranberry, yucca and yeast extract are on both. The analysis is identical: moisture declared at 70.0%, protein 36.7% and fat 26.7% of dry matter. Only the meat and the rice share change.
