Edgard & Cooper Senior Tins review

Name: Edgard & Cooper Senior Tins
Brand: Edgard & Cooper

76.7/100Excellent

WetAdultSenior

The brand's short-list thinking pointed at an older dog, and a gentler version of a good food is usually what an older dog wants. Chicken at 50% and ASC-certified salmon at 10% lead, glucosamine and chondroitin close the list, and fat is dialled back against the protein. It takes our Excellent band.

Our view

Likely to suit

Older dogs carrying a bit of stiffness
Dogs whose walks have got shorter, with fat at a moderate 22.7% of dry matter
Owners who want the animals named: chicken at 50%, salmon at 10%
A temperamental gut, helped by the MOS and FOS prebiotic pair
Mixed-age packs, as one tin covers adults and seniors

Worth watching

No dose against the glucosamine or chondroitin
Chicken and salmon both in the tin
Vitamin E printed but no vitamin D, worth a glance if tins are the whole diet
Carbohydrate at 19.1% of dry matter, a touch above the typical wet food

Dried fennel, caraway, yarrow, chamomile and other herbs0.01% eachCharacter more than nutrition.

A short panel, dosed throughout: vitamin E, zinc, copper, manganese and iodine. In a tin this meat-heavy, much of the micronutrition comes from the meat.
