The score, in context

Tripe Mix 75.2
Beef 68.2
Chicken 68.2

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

The Tripe Mix pulls clear on its meat line, and the rich shared analysis keeps all three in good company for a tin.

What's in it

British and Irish farmed chicken44%The poultry led version.
British and Irish farmed beef (tripe, tripe broth)21%The smallest tripe share of the three.
Salmon oilNo percentage, and fish on the label.
Plant fibresRoughage, without saying which plant.
Vitamins and minerals
Chicory root, MOSA small prebiotic pairing: inulin from the root, MOS from yeast cell walls.

Every added nutrient carries a figure, from vitamin A at 1250 I.U. per kilo to zinc at 20mg; calcium gets no number of its own.

Named ingredients

British and Irish Farmed Chicken 44%, British and Irish Farmed Beef 21% (Tripe, Tripe Broth), Salmon Oil, Plant Fibres, Vitamins & Minerals, Chicory Root, MOS.

Against the range

Meat: 44% chicken, 21% beef; Beef 30% on the Beef can, 42% on the Tripe Mix.
Combined meat: 65%; 65% on the Beef can; the Tripe Mix fills the great majority of the can.

The gentler introduction for a dog meeting tripe for the first time.

Every can pairs British and Irish farmed chicken with British and Irish farmed beef, with the tripe and its broth declared inside the beef figure. Each list stops after seven entries, none of them cereal, and all three share one analysis. The balance between the two meats is the only thing that separates the recipes.
