42.8/100Average

WetAdult

A salmon tin built to sit lighter in the bowl, in our Average band. Fat converts to 17.4% of dry matter and energy runs to 87 kcal per 100g, so the light billing is real. Fresh salmon leads at 35% with broth at 33%, and vegetables and lentils do the rest.

Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs whose vet has asked for a little weight off
Fish leading the list. Salmon at 35% is the only named animal
Cereal-free homes, with sweet potato, swede at 10% and lentils at 5% taking the starch
Dogs that eat a soft, slow cooked texture more willingly than firm chunks
Fuller on fewer calories, with fibre at 7.8% of dry matter
Adults of any size

Worth watching

Broth with no species beside it, a small blank for a strict avoidance list
Carbohydrate at an estimated 33.5% of dry matter against 15.8% for the typical adult wet food
No percentage printed for sweet potato
Bigger portions on a light recipe, so a large dog gets through a 400g tin quickly

The score, in context

Bob & Lush Light & Tasty Wet 42.8

All one Average. Typical wet food: Excellent.

A recipe doing a deliberately lighter job than most of the wet shelf, and the carbohydrate that comes with that holds the score down.

What's in it

Fresh salmon35%The front's 100% fresh salmon describes the form of the salmon. The tin itself is 35% salmon.
Broth33%No species named.
Sweet potatoNo percentage printed. Far more fibre than an ordinary potato.
Swede10%Bulk for very little energy.
Lentils5%Fibre and a little plant protein.
Thickener, minerals1% each

No added vitamin and trace element panel is printed, so there are no doses to read.
