WetPuppyAdult

A short label done carefully, and two Excellent-band tins. Each is 65% of one named animal with nothing vague behind it. Protein converts to 42.0% of dry matter on the beef and 46.4% on the turkey.

Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs kept to one land animal
No cereal on either label
A printed meat figure: 65% on both
Every life stage, puppy to senior
Stiffening joints, as green-lipped mussel brings glucosamine and chondroitin

Worth watching

Green-lipped mussel is a shellfish, so a strict elimination trial cannot count these as one animal
Small 85g tins, so a large dog gets through several at a sitting
No calcium figure, if a growing puppy eats wet food alone

The score, in context

Beef 76.5
Turkey 74.7

All two Excellent. Typical wet food: Excellent.

The 65% single-animal share earns both their place, the beef a shade ahead of the turkey.

What's in it

Beef65%The only meat.
Carrots3%Beta carotene and soluble fibre.
Blueberries2%
Minerals
Linseed oilPlant omega 3.
Seaweed, yucca extractIodine, then yucca for digestion and garden odour.
Green-lipped musselGlucosamine and chondroitin, no dose printed. A shellfish.

Vitamin D3, zinc, manganese and iodine, each dosed; no copper on this tin.

Carbohydrate reads 19.6% of dry matter by difference, which overstates it: there is no starch source on the list.

Named ingredients

Beef 65%, Carrots 3%, Blueberries 2%, Minerals, Linseed Oil, Seaweed, Yucca Extract, Green-Lipped Mussel (Source of Glucosamine and Chondroitin).

Against the range

Fruit and veg: Carrots 3%, blueberries 2%; Apples and pumpkin on the turkey
Oil: Linseed, omega 3; Safflower, omega 6, on the turkey
Energy: 121 kcal per 100g; 103 on the turkey
Copper: Not listed; Added on the turkey

The richer tin and the higher scorer, so portions run a little smaller.

Each tin is 65% of one named animal, beef or turkey, with no second meat, no meat and animal derivatives and no unnamed fat. A fruit or vegetable at 3% and another at 2% follow, then a named oil, seaweed, yucca extract and green-lipped mussel. Neither label has cereal. The vitamin panel is short on both, with no vitamin A, E or calcium figure, though both print their own energy value.
