An easy senior dinner in 100g pouches: small chunks in gravy, rice in the mix and yeast for the gut. The analysis is kinder than the list, with protein at 47.1% of dry matter and only 83 kcal per 100g. One animal is named at 4% per recipe and the rest stays behind a category term. It finishes in our Good band.

Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs of eight and over
Tender teeth. The chunks are small and sit in gravy
A senior who eats little and often, with a fresh pouch each time
Older guts, helped along by mannan-oligosaccharides at 0.1%
Dogs that put weight on easily: 83 kcal per 100g against 97 for typical adult wet food

Worth watching

The cereal beyond rice is never named, so it can change without the pack changing
Chicken, turkey and lamb across one box, so check each sleeve for a dog avoiding one meat
Cassia gum at 1904 mg per kilo holds the gravy together

The score, in context

Poultry 50.4

All one Good. Typical wet food: Excellent.

A perfectly reasonable senior dinner that tells you very little about itself: the analysis is strong and the meat side of the label holds it back.

Against the range

Small chunks in gravy, with the chunk typically 46% of the pouch and meat and animal derivatives at 89% or 90% inside it. Turkey, chicken or lamb is named at 4% depending on the recipe, and that is all the label says about the animal. Rice is the one grain named, inside a cereals entry that is never broken down.
