Butchers Recovery & Revive Foil review

Name: Butchers Recovery & Revive Foil
Brand: Butchers

77.5/100Excellent

WetAdult

An Excellent tray built for a dog that needs coaxing back to the bowl, in a 150g size that opens fresh each time. Chicken leads at 51%, and the label measures its gut additives down to fractions of a percent. It carries more rice and less broth than the tin it mirrors.

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 eating little and often, as each 150g tray is opened new
Dogs putting condition back on: fat runs to 35.0% of dry matter
Owners who like the animal content written down, chicken at 51% and broth at 33.5%
Unsettled digestion. Cooked white rice is the mildest cereal there is, and the only one here
A fussy stretch where a meat-first tray beats a topper

Worth watching

Salmon oil alongside the chicken, so it is no single-animal exclusion diet
Rice at 12.5% rules it out for a grain-free household
A rich tray by design. A dog already in settled condition needs less of it than one rebuilding

The score, in context

Butchers Recovery & Revive Foil 77.5

All one Excellent. Typical wet food: Excellent.

Naming the chicken at 51% and giving the broth its own percentage does most of the lifting for this tray.

What's in it

British and Irish farmed chicken51%The one meat, listed under its plain name, which marks it as fresh.
Broth (water and dried seaweed)33.5%Given its own percentage, which most trays skip. The split between water and seaweed is not printed, and seaweed is a concentrated iodine source.
Cooked white rice12.5%Low in fibre and quickly broken down. More of it here than in the tin.
Salmon oil1%Marine omega oils, and fish with them.
Minerals
Yeast (MOS, beta-glucans)0.15%MOS at 0.05% and beta-glucans at 0.045%, both printed.
Chicory root (FOS)0.05%Prebiotic that feeds the bacteria in the large intestine.
Yucca, paraprobiotic Lactobacillus helveticus0.005% and 0.001%

A fuller panel than the brand's everyday trays: vitamin C at 30 mg and vitamin E at 63 mg per kilo, then vitamins A and D3, manganese, zinc, copper and iodine, each dosed.

Against the range
