Eden Sporting & Working Wet: Country Cuisine review

Name: Eden Sporting & Working Wet: Country Cuisine
Brand: Eden

77.5/100Excellent

WetAdult

Flavour

Wet food for hard working dogs, and all three recipes sit in our Excellent band. Meat runs to 70% over a counted broth, and every berry and botanical gets its own figure. The added vitamin panel is the fullest part of the label, with the whole B group dosed.

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

Working and sporting dogs, the group the range is built around
Owners who want everything itemised, broth and botanicals included
Grain free feeding. The starch is peas at 0.3% and sweet potato at 0.2%
Rotation feeders: four animals in one recipe, a bird and a fish in the others
Owners who like a full vitamin panel, with the B group on every label

Worth watching

Glucosamine and chondroitin at 0.01%, some way short of a measured dose
Neither supplement names its source, so shellfish cannot be ruled out
Country Cuisine's four animals make it a poor starting point for an intolerance search
The label's feeding guide runs well above what the declared calories imply

Dog fit

Listed for adults of every size. Watch the waistline over the first fortnight and settle on the amount that keeps your dog level, as the label's guide and its calorie figure disagree.

The score, in context

Country Cuisine 77.5
Turkey 77.0
Original Cuisine 76.9

All three Excellent. Typical wet food: Excellent.

The three finish within a whisker of each other, and an unusually open label for a wet food is how they get there.

What's in it

Lamb, venison20% eachTwo of four animals in the one recipe.
Rabbit, duck15% each
Broth26%Counted as broth, not passed off as water.
Peas, sweet potato, carrots0.3% down to 0.2%The whole starch side.
Blueberries, goji berries0.5% each
Minerals
Linseed oil, turmeric0.2%, 0.1%Plant omega-3 and the botanical finish.
MOS, FOS0.1% eachThe prebiotic pair.
Glucosamine, chondroitin0.01% eachA nod to joints, short of a measured dose. Neither names its source, so shellfish cannot be ruled out.

A full B group beside vitamin D3 and E, with folic acid, biotin and choline, and zinc and manganese as glycine chelates, which a dog tends to absorb more readily than a sulphate.

Named ingredients

Lamb 20%, Venison 20%, Rabbit 15%, Duck 15%, Broth: 26%, Vegetables: Peas 0.3%, Sweet Potato 0.2%, Carrots 0.2%, Fruits: Blueberries 0.5%, Goji Berries 0.5%, Minerals, Oils and Fats: Linseed Oil 0.2%, Botanicals: Turmeric 0.1%, MOS 0.1%, FOS 0.1%, Glucosamine 0.01%, Chondroitin 0.01%.

Against the range

Meat: Lamb, venison, rabbit, duck; A bird at 55% and a fish at 15% in the other two.
Fish: None; The only recipe without one.
Fat, dry matter: 29.1%; Highest here; Original Cuisine is 24.1%.
Protein, dry matter: 46.5%; Up to 50.0% on Turkey & Herring.

The most unusual plate of the three, and the one for a dog kept off fish.

All three recipes run 70% meat over a declared broth at 26%, and every ingredient down to the turmeric carries a percentage. Country Cuisine splits its meat four ways across lamb, venison, rabbit and duck; the other two lead with a bird at 55% and add a fish at 15%.

The plant side is tiny: peas, sweet potato and carrots under half a percent each, with blueberries and goji berries. Protein converts to between 46.5% and 50.0% of dry matter and fat to between 24.1% and 29.1%.
