WetPuppyAdult

Flavour

A smooth pate in three formats, the mixed pack and trays in our Good band and the cans in Average. The label puts them there, and the analysis does not: only 4% of each recipe is a named animal. There is no cereal on any of the three lists.

Where to buy: coming soon

Live retailer links are coming soon. Once we have them from UK retailers, where to buy and the best price will appear here.

Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs that eat a smooth pate more happily than chunks
Puppies, grown dogs and older ones under one roof
Owners keeping cereal out of a wet food
Small dogs and toppers, with a 100 g size
Rotating flavours: lamb, fish, beef, chicken and turkey over one base

Worth watching

Only 4% of each recipe tied to a named animal, so an elimination diet is out
Fish versions with no species beyond the flavour on the front
Fat at 35.7% of dry matter in the cans, rich for a dog inclined to gain weight

Three recipes across Good and Average. Typical wet food: Excellent.

The distance from the typical wet food is almost entirely about naming; the analysis reads well across all three formats.
