Named ingredients

85% meat and animal by-products in fillets (8% lamb), 2.7 % pea flour, 1.5 % dried blueberries, 0.9 % lignocellulose, 0.4 % dried cloves, 0.4 % dried citrus, 0.4 % dried rosemary, 0.4 % dried curcuma, 0.2 % calcium carbonate.

Against the range

Fat, as fed: 4.5%; 4% on the adult lamb.
Energy: 83 kcal per 100g; About 77 on the others.

The adult lamb list with a richer analysis for growing.

All six labels share one build: a block of meat and animal derivatives in fillets at 77% to 85% of the serving, a named animal declared inside it. Pea flour follows, then, dried blueberries, lignocellulose and four herbs and spices at 0.4% each. The block can stand for any warm-blooded animal and can change between batches.

What varies is how much of the block each label pins down, from 75% chicken on the Chicken and Tuna down to 5% rabbit. Taurine at 240 mg per kilo is on every label, and fat converts to a quarter of dry matter on most.
