Country Dog Premium Tins review

Name: Country Dog Premium Tins
Brand: Country Dog

77.9/100Excellent

WetAdultSenior

Two named birds and very little padding. The meat entries account for roughly two thirds of the tin, and protein converts to 40.0% of dry matter with fat at 32.0%. A rich, meat-forward reading for a tin, and it lands in our Excellent band.

Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs that do well on poultry, with chicken and turkey the only animals
Owners who want the meat share printed
Older dogs as well as settled adults
Fussy eaters. Liver and a generous fat level give it plenty of aroma
Multi-dog homes, toy breeds to giants on one recipe

Worth watching

Both birds together, so no elimination trial on chicken or turkey
Rice at 6%, which rules it out for a strictly grain-free home
A rich dinner for a dog watching its waistline
