Europa Adult Trays: Chicken, Brown Rice & Vegetables review

Name: Europa Adult Trays: Chicken, Brown Rice & Vegetables
Brand: Europa

75.6/100Excellent

WetAdult

A chicken tray in our Excellent band, with chicken at 60% and named as chicken, not poultry or meat derivatives. It is built as a chicken and rice dinner, so the plant side is a little bigger than on a meat-only tray. Easy to feed and easy to trust.

Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs that suit chicken
A recognisable list: rice, peas and carrots each named
Busy households. The sealed tray goes straight into the bowl
Dogs happier with a little grain, with rice at 5% the only cereal
Older dogs, with glucosamine and chondroitin on the label

Worth watching

Salmon oil beside the chicken, so two animals are in the tray
Glucosamine and chondroitin with no doses. A friendly extra and no more
Estimated carbohydrate at 26.1% of dry matter, against 15.8% for the typical adult wet food

The score, in context

Chicken 75.6

All one Excellent. Typical wet food: Excellent.

The chicken at the front does exactly what a wet food's headline meat should, which keeps it level with a strong wet shelf.

Against the range

One chicken and rice tray. Chicken at 60% is every land-animal ingredient, named plainly, and rice, peas and carrots follow with their percentages. After that the list changes character: salmon oil, seaweed, herbs, the joint pair and a few extracts, none with a figure beside it.
