Denes Adult Tins: Chicken with Tripe review

Name: Denes Adult Tins: Chicken with Tripe
Brand: Denes

58.8/100Good

WetAdult

Flavour

Two everyday tins on one frame, each named for a 4% garnish meat that sits behind the wheat. Rabbit in one, beef tripe in the other, and both are good meats to meet. The pair sit together in our Good band, with a comfortable analysis for a settled adult dog.

Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs that enjoy a mixed-meat tin
A first taste of rabbit or tripe
Main meats given percentages: chicken at 33% on one tin, 30% on the other
One recipe from the smallest toy breed to a giant
Alternating flavours without changing the construction

Worth watching

Wheat ahead of the named meat, and it is one of the cereals dogs most often react to
Chicken and pork in both, so neither suits an elimination diet avoiding them
Garnish meats at 4%, a seasoning more than the flavour name suggests

All two Good. Typical wet food: Excellent.

Named meats with figures pull one way, and the unweighed wheat and short additive panel pull the other.

What's in it

Chicken30%
Pork10%Suits a dog that has been round the usual poultry and beef.
WheatThird, with no percentage. For a dog that reacts to grain, the one entry to know about.
Beef tripe4%Unglamorous, rich in protein and fat, and famously good at coaxing a dog back to the bowl.
CarrotsA little fibre and beta carotene.
Minerals
Herbs: kelp, garlic, parsleyGarlic in the small amounts Denes has always used.

Vitamins A, D3 and E with copper as cupric sulphate at 3.4mg/kg; zinc, iodine, manganese and selenium carry no figures.

Named ingredients

Chicken 30%, pork 10%, wheat, beef tripe 4%, carrots, minerals, herbs (kelp, garlic and parsley).

Against the range

Garnish meat: Beef tripe, 4%; Rabbit, 4%, on the other tin
Other animals on the label: Chicken, pork and beef; Chicken, pork and rabbit
Carbohydrate, dry matter: 25.0%; 22.7% on the rabbit tin

The one for a reluctant eater, since tripe gives the tin its smell.

Both tins share one frame: chicken first, pork at 10% behind it, wheat third with no percentage, and a 4% garnish meat that gives each its name. The animal share comes to a little under half of each tin.

Protein converts to 36.4% of dry matter and fat to 22.7% on both. The added panel is thin on each, with vitamins A, D3 and E and copper, and no figures for zinc, iodine, manganese or selenium.
