Name: Devini Wet Food: Chicken & Lamb
Brand: Devini

75.7/100Excellent

WetPuppyAdult

Flavour

Small pots of counted meat, and all three recipes hold our Excellent band. Every label puts its animal first with a figure, and the fruit and vegetables are measured in single digits. The catch is one name: the Chicken & Lamb declares turkey.

Where to buy: coming soon

Live retailer links are coming soon. Once we have them from UK retailers, where to buy and the best price will appear here.

Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs that eat little and often
Owners who want the meat counted at the head of the list
Every size and age, from a puppy to an older dog
Grain-avoiding homes
Rotation feeders, with boar and trout alongside the poultry
A joint extra in the bowl, from green-lipped mussel

Worth watching

Green-lipped mussel, a shellfish, in all three
Turkey as the meat in the recipe sold as Chicken & Lamb
85 g pots, so a big dog gets through several at a sitting

Against the range

Meat: Turkey 65%; Chicken and wild boar, or turkey and trout
Energy: 114 kcal per 100g; The richest; 93 in the Turkey with Trout
Added oil: Safflower; Linseed in the other two

A single-bird recipe in practice, whatever the name on the front.

Three wet recipes in 85 g pots, each opening on its meat with a percentage beside it and closing on green-lipped mussel. The plant side never rises above 3% for any single entry, and no cereal, potato or pulse appears. Protein converts to 42.9% to 48.1% of dry matter.

Linseed or safflower oil carries the added fat, and seaweed covers iodine. The added panels are short, with a figure on every entry.
