Eden Semi-Moist: Duck And Tripe review

Name: Eden Semi-Moist: Duck And Tripe
Brand: Eden

Flavour

Soft food built like a dry one: three recipes that pour from the bag and lean hard on named meat. All three sit in our Good band. Dried meats do much of the work, putting more animal into each piece than a fresh line would.

Our view

Likely to suit

Older dogs and tender teeth. Every piece stays soft straight from the bag
Owners who want each meat named and pinned to a figure
Dogs that do better without cereal
Stiffening seniors, with the joint trio on all three labels
Rotation between a red meat medley, a duck recipe and a fish-led one

Worth watching

Country Feast has four meats and Salmon & Quail has pork, so neither suits a single-protein plan
Seaweed and green lipped mussel on two of the labels, if fish and shellfish are out
Semi-moist pieces hold more water than kibble, so weigh the first few meals

The score, in context

Country Feast 65.4
Duck 63.5

All three Good. Typical wet food: Excellent.

They land close together, so pick by the animal that suits your dog; the order of the names tells you very little.

What's in it

Duck40%Fresh, at the front.
Sweet potato (dried)
Duck (dried)15%
Vegetable glycerine, tapiocaSoftness and structure.
Tripe4%Stomach lining, full of the savour that wins over a doubtful eater.
Lucerne
Poultry liver (dried)2%The one entry not tied to a named bird.
Chickpeas, coconut oil, pumpkin, pea fibre
Seaweed, apple, garlic, green lipped mussel, cranberry, spirulina, chicory0.07% and below
Glucosamine, MSM, chondroitin sulphate0.03%, 0.03%, 0.02%Slightly less chondroitin than the other two.

Taurine at 1000 mg per kilo with chelated trace minerals and selenised yeast.

Dried poultry liver names no bird, so this is close to, but not quite, a single-bird label.

Named ingredients

40% Duck, Sweet Potato (dried), 15% Duck (dried), Vegetable Glycerine, Tapioca (dried), 4% Tripe, Lucerne (dried), 2% Poultry Liver (dried), Chickpeas (dried), Coconut Oil, Pumpkin (dried), Pea Fibre, 0.07% Seaweed (dried, rich in DHA), 0.07% Apple (dried), Garlic (dried), 0.07% Green Lipped Mussel (dried), Cranberry (dried), Spirulina (dried), Chicory (dried), 0.03 % Glucosamine, 0.03% Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM), 0.02 % Chondroitin Sulphate.

Against the range

Meat: Duck 40% fresh, 15% dried, tripe 4%; The simplest list of the three.
Protein, dry matter: 29.3%; Country Feast is 26.8%, Salmon & Quail 29.9%.
Fat, dry matter: 15.9%; The other two are 17.1%.

The closest the range comes to a single bird, with tripe to tempt a doubtful eater.

Moisture is declared at 18% on all three, held in the piece by vegetable glycerine, so the bag still pours and stores like a dry food. Every meat is named with its percentage, and no cereal appears: sweet potato, tapioca and chickpeas carry the starch.

In dry matter, protein runs from 26.8% to 29.9% and carbohydrate from 38.5% to 41.4%. Glucosamine, MSM and chondroitin close each list, and the added panel is shared, except that Salmon & Quail doubles the zinc.
