Fleischeslust Classic Sausage: Beef Menu review

Name: Fleischeslust Classic Sausage: Beef Menu
Brand: Fleischeslust

78.6/100Excellent

WetAdult

Flavour

Six sausages built to one plan, with 75% animal content and every cut written out: Beef Menu names meat, lungs, heart, liver, rumen and kidneys. That level of detail is rare on a wet label. Beef, chicken, salmon, venison and rabbit take turns as the headline. All six land in our Excellent band.

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

Owners who want the cuts itemised
Dogs settled on one animal: Beef Menu, Tender Beef and Fine Poultry each keep to a single species
Grain-avoiding households
Rotation feeders, as only the animal really changes
Dogs that need calories packed in. Fresh Salmon runs at 202 kcal per 100g against 112 for Fine Poultry

Worth watching

Salmon, Game and Rabbit each pair their headline animal with beef
Several lists led by offal, which a dog new to it may need a few days to adjust to
Fat swings from 17.8% to 39.8% of dry matter, so richness and portions move when you rotate

Tender Beef 78.1

All six Excellent. Typical wet food: Excellent.

The six land close enough together that rotating between them changes the animal and very little else.

Parsnip, zucchini5% each

Named ingredients

75 % beef (meat, lungs, heart, liver, rumen, kidneys), 8.8 % broth, 5 % parsnip, 5 % zucchini, potato starch, minerals, 0.5 % parsley, eggshell meal, 0.1 % dandelion, 0.1 % hazelnut, 0.1 % seaweed, yucca root, 0.1 % linseed oil.

Against the range

Meat: 75% beef, six cuts; Tender Beef is also all beef, with a different set of cuts.
Calcium, dry matter: 1.04%; Highest in the range; the others run down to 0.82%.
Protein, dry matter: 44.1%; 32.0% to 52.9% across the six.

The plainest single-animal choice in the range, with the most calcium.

Every label opens on 75% of one or two named animals, with the cuts written inside the bracket, and offal is there by choice. Broth is declared on all six, between 8.8% and 10.3%. Potato starch binds, a handful of vegetables follows, and no recipe carries cereal.

Eggshell meal and a mineral premix put calcium between 0.82% and 1.04% of dry matter, and the oil is always named. What varies is the analysis: protein runs from 32.0% to 52.9% of dry matter and fat from 17.8% to 39.8%.
