71.4/100Excellent

WetAdult

One can, one meat, and an Excellent band. Rabbit at 70% heads a list that runs to five short entries after it. It is a lean, quiet recipe aimed at dogs that react to the usual meats.

Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs that react to the common proteins. Rabbit is a meat most have never been fed
An exclusion trial on land animals, with rabbit the only meat
A leaner dinner, fat converting to 13.6% of dry matter
Digestion that upsets easily, the dog this recipe was written for
Adult dogs of every size

Worth watching

Salmon oil at 1% and dried algae at 0.2%, so the sea gets in twice
Pea flour with no percentage beside it
Light at 90 kcal per 100g, so a larger dog gets through a fair few cans

The score, in context

Calibra Life Sensitive Monoprotein Cans 71.4

All one Excellent. Typical wet food: Excellent.

It earns its band on what a sensitive diet is bought for, and a lean recipe with carbohydrate worked out by difference stops it going higher.
