Bonacibo Adult Can: Beef review

Name: Bonacibo Adult Can: Beef
Brand: Bonacibo

34.3/100Average

WetAdult

Flavour

A plain, traditional European tin in beef, lamb and salmon, all three in our Average band. The placement comes from how little the label names, since the analysis itself is respectable. Choosing it means trusting the maker's recipe, because reading it is not on offer.

Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs settled and doing well on a traditional tin
Plain tinned food for a dog that makes no fuss
A larger dog on one 400 g can size
Rotating flavours on one construction
Avoiding heavy starch: carbohydrate estimates between 10.5% and 18.0% of dry matter
A wet meal served beside a dry food

Worth watching

Only 4% of each tin is a named animal, too little to anchor an elimination diet
Unnamed cereals and vegetable derivatives that can change from batch to batch
The salmon tin leads with meat and animal derivatives at 42%; fish and fish derivatives sit at 4%
Ash at 14.0% of dry matter, high for a wet food

The details

Dog fit

Listed for adults of every size. The label's own guide for a dog of 12 to 25 kg is 800 to 1200 grams a day, which is a lot of cans, so most owners will pair it with a dry food.

The score, in context

Beef 34.3
Lamb 32.5
Salmon 32.3

All three Average. Typical wet food: Excellent.

The analysis would place these higher; the score answers to a label that names very little, and none of it is a safety verdict.

What's in it

Against the range

Protein, dry matter: 40.0%; 45.0% on lamb and salmon.
Carbohydrate, dry matter: 18.0% (estimate); 10.5% on the other two.
Energy: 83 kcal per 100g, our estimate; The lightest of the three.

The lightest tin, and a shade ahead of the others on transparency.

Every tin is built on meat and animal derivatives, a legal term that names no animal or part, with the flavour animal guaranteed at a minimum of 4%. Cereals and derivatives of vegetable origin follow, both category terms, then minerals. Moisture is 80% across the three.

On dry matter the panel is respectable: protein 40.0% to 45.0%, fat 25.0% to 27.5%, estimated carbohydrate 10.5% to 18.0%. Ash at 14.0% sits on the high side. The added panel prints vitamins A, D3 and E and one line that reads only as pentahydrate. Calories are our estimate.
