Flavour

Some of the barest wet recipes you will find, with meat taking up nearly the whole label. Each one pairs two named animals at printed shares and stops there, bar minerals and a short line of extras. All three sit in our Excellent band.

Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs that eat best when dinner is simply meat
Grain-free feeding: nothing starchy is named anywhere in the range
Owners who want the animals counted, such as duck and herring at 35% each
Dogs bored of chicken and beef. Goose, rabbit, pheasant and herring are all here
Seniors as well as adults in their prime
Light drinkers, with moisture from 76.0% to 79.0%

Worth watching

Goose & Rabbit opens with turkey at 40%, ahead of the goose and rabbit at 15% each
Green-lipped mussel on every label, so shellfish is in all three
One 400 g size only, which leaves a small dog with an open tin to use up

Against the range

Meat: 35% duck, 35% herring; Pheasant and salmon split the same way; the turkey recipe runs 40%, 15%, 15%.
Protein, dry matter: 45.5%; 40.8% on the pheasant, 49.5% on the turkey.
Energy: 105 kcal per 100g; Between the turkey's 95 and the pheasant's 119.
Copper: 1.5 mg; 2.5 mg on the pheasant.

The middle of the three, with a familiar bird and an oily fish.

Three wet recipes that are almost all meat: two animals each, declared with percentages, then 1% minerals and four supplements at 0.1%. No vegetable, fruit or cereal appears on any list, and carbohydrate converts to an estimated 8.2% to 8.8% of dry matter. Protein runs from 40.8% to 49.5% of dry matter and fat from 25.7% to 35.4%, so these are rich as well as meaty.

Green-lipped mussel closes every label, with no dose beside it. The vitamin lines differ: two print vitamin A and the third vitamin D3.
