Chappie Wet Food: With Chicken & Rice review

1. Original 50.4
2. With Chicken 39.1

Two recipes across Good and Average. Typical wet food: Excellent.

Both sit behind the typical wet food because the bulk of each is cereal, with fish and chicken for flavour and body.

No manganese and less D3 on the Original.

The same loaf with a little rice named, a shade lighter in energy.

Both cans share one construction and one declared analysis. Fish and fish derivatives lead with white fish at 14%, then cereals. Meat and animal derivatives with chicken at 4% follow, then oils and fats naming sunflower oil at 0.3%, minerals and unnamed herbs.

At 71.0% moisture this is a denser loaf than most wet food, and cereal fills the difference. What varies is the rice named in one can, the energy and the added panel.

A 15kg dog eats (our estimate)

685 to 840 g a day, 765 in the middle

Cost per day, 15kg dog

£2.39

Denser than most wet food, so a 15kg dog needs a smaller daily weight than the can count suggests.

Budget end of the market for a wet food, though the analysis is modest for the money.
