80.5/100Outstanding

WetAdult

A festive can with an unusual idea behind it: carp, and only carp, at 70% of the tin. If you have tried every ordinary meat and got nowhere, the single freshwater fish is the reason to look. It lands in our Outstanding band, a step above the typical wet food.

Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs that need a novel protein. Carp rarely turns up in a bowl
A strict avoidance list, as nothing hides behind a category term
Adults of any build, toy to giant
Grain avoiding households
Dogs that leave the water bowl alone: about four fifths of the can is moisture

Worth watching

Carp is the whole animal content, so a fish-reactive dog has nothing to fall back on
Estimated carbohydrate of 30.0% of dry matter against 15.8% for typical adult wet food
A light can at an estimated 82 kcal per 100g
