44.5/100Average

WetAdult

Flavour

The smooth end of the Cesar shelf, a terrine with no chunks and no gravy. The analysis is strongly meat-shaped, with protein just over half of dry matter and carbohydrate an estimated 12.2%. What the label will not say is which animals make up most of that meat.

Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs who find chunks hard work
Older dogs and dogs with dental trouble, as nothing in the tray asks to be chewed
A meat-forward tray: protein at 51.0% of dry matter
One small dog, for whom a 150g tray is a portion in itself

Worth watching

Only 4% of the 56% meat share pinned to a named animal on each recipe
Cereals with no name, so the plant side can move between batches
Lamb, turkey, chicken, game and beef across the selection pack, so read every sleeve on an avoidance list

The score, in context

Beef 46.4

All two Average. Typical wet food: Excellent.

The numbers are genuinely good and the label is what holds both trays back: the food is better than the label lets you prove.

The rest of that share is never identified. Vegetables carry a 4% figure, while the cereals and derivatives of vegetable origin carry no name. Cassia gum at 2100 mg per kilo gives the terrine its set.
