63.3/100Good

WetAdult

Flavour

Three soft, light jelly cans in one case, and an honest label on each: a percentage against every animal in the tin. Chicken does most of the work, liver is in all three. They sit in our Good band, with nutritional balance reading Outstanding.

Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs that change their mind about flavour, with three recipes in the case
A percentage beside every meat, liver included
Dogs carrying a little extra weight. A full bowl brings fewer calories than most
Dogs that drink too little, at 83% moisture
Grain-free households

Worth watching

Chicken leads all three, so none suits a poultry-sensitive dog
Liver and tripe not pinned to an animal, and salmon oil in every can, so no clean elimination start
One case size only

The score, in context

With Beef 63.3
With Chicken 63.3
With Tripe 63.3

All three Good. Typical wet food: Excellent.

The three score the same; the meat share, about half the tin, is what keeps them below the strongest wet recipes.

What's in it

Chicken42%
Tripe4%Tempts a reluctant eater. No species given.
Liver4%Dense in trace nutrients, so a small share does real work. The animal is not named.
Salmon oilIn every can, with no percentage.
Plant fibresOrigin not named.
Vitamins and minerals
Chicory root, MOSPrebiotics at trace level: inulin from the chicory, MOS from yeast cell walls.

Vitamins A, D3 and E with zinc, manganese and iodine, each with a figure per kilo. No calcium figure is printed.

Named ingredients

British and Irish Farmed Meats (Chicken 42%, Tripe 4%, Liver 4%), Salmon Oil, Plant Fibres, Vitamins and Minerals, Chicory Root, MOS.

Against the range

Second meat: Tripe 4%; Beef in one can, none in the chicken.
Chicken: 42%; 46% in the chicken can.

Open this one first for a dog that has been picking at meals.

Three jelly cans under one British and Irish farmed meats heading, every animal given its own percentage. Chicken carries the bulk in all three, liver sits at 4% throughout, and beef or tripe joins in on two. The tail is identical: salmon oil, plant fibres, chicory root and MOS.

All three print the same analysis. Moisture is 83% and energy 82 kcal per 100g, protein converts to 44.1% of dry matter and estimated carbohydrate to 13.5%, with no cereal on any list.
