Denes Adult Tripe Mix Tins review

Name: Denes Adult Tripe Mix Tins
Brand: Denes

71.5/100Excellent

WetAdult

The meatiest tin Denes makes, and the only one with no cereal at all. Leaving the cereal out is what lifts it: carbohydrate converts to just 3.2% of dry matter, and protein reaches 47.4%. Tripe leads, which most dogs take as a very good sign.

Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs that love tripe, at 22% and leading the label
Grain-avoiding households. No cereal of any kind appears
Working and hard-going dogs that need their calories in a modest volume
Owners who want every meat named with a percentage
A dog coming out of a fussy patch, as tripe is about as persuasive as tinned food gets

Worth watching

Four animals in the tin, so an exclusion trial has nothing to anchor to
Fat at 36.8% of dry matter, a lot for a dog inclined to put weight on
Garlic in the herb blend, at the small culinary level used across the brand

The score, in context

Denes Adult Tripe Mix Tins 71.5

All one Excellent. Typical wet food: Excellent.

The strongest of the Denes tins on our reading, a strong performer inside a strong field of wet food.

What's in it

Beef tripe22%A ruminant's stomach lining, rich in protein and fat and easy on the digestion.
Chicken19%A lighter, leaner backbone.
Turkey14%
Pork6%Still relatively novel for most dogs.
Minerals
Herbs: kelp, garlic, parsleyGarlic at the small culinary level that runs through the brand.
SeaweedWith the kelp, a natural source of iodine and trace minerals.

Vitamins A, D3 and E with copper as cupric sulphate, and nothing further; zinc, iodine, manganese and selenium carry no printed figures.

A short additive table, so the trace mineral side rests on the minerals entry and the seaweed.

Named ingredients

Beef tripe 22%, chicken 19%, turkey 14%, pork 6%, minerals, herbs (kelp, garlic and parsley), seaweed.

Against the range

Four meats, each with its own figure, make up 61% of the tin, led by beef tripe. No cereal and no vegetable bulk follow them, only minerals, a herb blend of kelp, garlic and parsley, and seaweed. The printed additive panel is short: vitamins A, D3 and E with copper.
