57/100Good

WetAdult

One recipe, one animal: fresh white fish at 64%, potato for the starch, and a short run of vegetables and supplements behind. It sits in our Good band. What sets it apart from most of the wet shelf is how lean it is, with fat converting to 10.0% of dry matter.

Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs that must steer clear of chicken, beef and lamb. White fish is the only animal
Owners who want the animal share printed
A lean regime, at an estimated 71 kcal per 100g
Grain-free homes, with potato and peas in place of cereal
Dogs that never drink enough, at 80.0% moisture

Worth watching

White fish is never named to a species
Glucosamine and chondroitin come undosed, from an unnamed animal
Fat at 2.0% as fed may need topping up for a hard-working or underweight dog

All one Good. Typical wet food: Excellent.
