Eden Semi-Moist: Salmon & Quail review

Name: Eden Semi-Moist: Salmon & Quail
Brand: Eden

65.5/100Good

WetAdultSenior

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

Salmon 65.5
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

Salmon (dried)26%The only fish-led recipe.
Quail21%Rarely seen in dog food.
Sweet potato (dried), vegetable glycerine
Pork fat6%A third animal.
Venison5%
Tapioca, lucerne
Pork liver2%
Chickpeas, pumpkin
Apple, blackberry, celery, chicory0.07% and belowNo seaweed or mussel on this one.
Glucosamine, MSM, chondroitin sulphate0.03% each

Taurine at 1000 mg per kilo, and zinc at 100 mg, double the dose on the other two.

Pork fat and pork liver sit behind the salmon and quail, so it is not a two-animal label.

Named ingredients

26% Salmon (dried), 21% Quail, Sweet Potato (dried), Vegetable Glycerine, 6% Pork Fat, 5% Venison, Tapioca (dried), Lucerne (dried), 2% Pork Liver, Chickpeas (dried), Pumpkin (dried), 0.07% Apple (dried), 0.07% Blackberry (dried), Celery (dried), Chicory (dried), 0.03% Glucosamine, 0.03% Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM), 0.03% Chondroitin Sulphate.

Against the range

Meat: Dried salmon 26%, quail 21%; The others lead with lamb or duck.
Carbohydrate, dry matter: 38.5%; Lightest in the range; the others are 41.4%.
Fibre, dry matter: 2.4%; Leanest on fibre; Country Feast is 3.7%.
Zinc: 100 mg per kilo; 50 mg on the other two.

The one to try on a dog bored of the everyday meats.

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.
