WetAdult

Flavour

A wet range you can explain in one breath: half of every can is a single named meat, with a matching set of vegetables or fruits beside it. The build repeats can for can, and only the animal and its partners change. The vitamin panel is short and dosed in print.

Where to buy: coming soon

Live retailer links are coming soon. Once we have them from UK retailers, where to buy and the best price will appear here.

Our view

Likely to suit

Owners who want one named meat doing the work, half of every can
Dogs kept off grain, as no cereal turns up on any label
Rotation households: swap the meat and nothing else moves
Adult dogs of every size, toy to giant

Worth watching

Salmon oil in every flavour, so none is fish free
Glucosamine and chondroitin carry no dose. A bonus, not a joint plan

The details

Dog fit

Listed for adults of every size. A 15 kg dog fed on cans alone gets through upwards of two a day, so many owners pair them with a dry food.

The score, in context

Duck 75.6
Turkey 75.6
Chicken 74.9

All three Excellent. Typical wet food: Excellent.

All three sit within a few points of each other, the duck and turkey a touch ahead, so choose by the meat your dog fancies.

The sideways step for a dog weary of the everyday poultries.

Half of every can is one named meat, declared at 50%, and protein converts to between 42.1% and 45.0% of dry matter. Each flavour gets its own three vegetables or fruits at 4% apiece, then sunflower, salmon and flaxseed oils and a tail of kelp, chicory root, MOS and trace herbs. No cereal appears on any label.

Carbohydrate ranges from 3.5% to 12.2% of dry matter by flavour. Glucosamine and chondroitin sit at the end of every list without a printed dose.
