Flavour

Pate trays for small dogs that lead hard with meat, all four in our Excellent band. Three declare their named animal at 60% or more, and the chicken casserole prints chicken at 65%. A puppy recipe with brown rice sits beside the three adult trays.

Our view

Likely to suit

Small adult dogs, the size named on every tray
Dogs kept to one animal: the chicken casserole has nothing else from the animal kingdom
Owners who read for the meat percentage first
A puppy in the house, with a chicken and brown rice recipe made for growth
Stiffening joints. Glucosamine and chondroitin are on all four labels

Worth watching

Fish oil in the lamb hotpot and the puppy bake, so neither suits a strict single-animal trial
Brown rice at 6% in the puppy recipe, if the household stays off grain
A rich hotpot, with fat at 40.0% of dry matter

The details

Dog fit

The adult trays are listed for small dogs, and the puppy bake for small puppies. For the puppy recipe, work from the feeding table printed on the tray, since it is fed to a growth guide.

The score, in context

Chicken 77.4
Puppy Chicken Bake 72.2
Salmon 71.3
Lamb 70.0

All four Excellent. Typical wet food: Excellent.

The printed meat percentages do most of the lifting here, and the salmon falls behind the chicken on its unnamed ocean fish and higher carbohydrate.

Named ingredients

Grain: Brown rice 6%; No other tray carries a cereal

Built for growth, and the analysis shows it.

Every tray opens on a named animal with a percentage beside it: 60% or more on three of the four, and salmon plus ocean fish on the fourth. The plant side stays in single figures. Glucosamine, chondroitin, yucca, cranberry and a prebiotic run through all four labels at small, supportive levels.

What varies is the oil and the grain. Fish oil turns up on the lamb hotpot and the puppy bake, sunflower oil on the other two, and only the puppy recipe carries a cereal. Protein converts to between 32.0% and 48.0% of dry matter across the range.
