Fleischeslust Classic Menu Senior: Chicken with Beef, Sweet Potatoes, Rosehips and Ginko review

Name: Fleischeslust Classic Menu Senior: Chicken with Beef, Sweet Potatoes, Rosehips and Ginko
Brand: Fleischeslust

86.6/100Outstanding

WetAdultSenior

Written for the older dog and placed in our Outstanding band. Chicken and beef make up three quarters of the recipe, and each is broken open into the actual cuts, hearts and liver and tripe included. The senior thinking sits at the end of the list, where rose hip, ginkgo and devil's claw appear in small amounts.

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

Older dogs that still eat well
Owners who like organ meat named, with hearts, liver and tripe each printed
Dogs that eat modest amounts. At 129 kcal per 100g it is dense for a wet food, and the serving looks smaller than expected
Grain-avoiding homes: no cereal, and the starch is sweet potato and potato starch
Dogs that never drink enough, with moisture at 73.5%

Worth watching

Salmon oil at 0.1%, one to note in a strictly fish-free house
Chicken and beef together, so not for an elimination diet
Joint herbs at or below 0.2%, a gesture well short of a working dose

The score, in context

Chicken 86.6

All one Outstanding. Typical wet food: Excellent.

It finishes well clear of the typical wet food because three quarters of the tin is named animal and every part of it is on the label.
