Gelert Tripe Variety Tins review

Name: Gelert Tripe Variety Tins
Brand: Gelert

58.4/100Good

WetAdult

A tripe case for the dogs that will walk past anything else, settling in our Good band. The numbers are the strong part: protein at 50.0% of dry matter and carbohydrate at an estimated 3.0%, about as low as wet food goes. Past the tripe and a 4% named meat, though, the label says very little.

Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs that adore tripe and treat gentler tins with suspicion
Owners who want almost no starch in the bowl
Bigger dogs on a working routine, with protein reaching 50.0% of dry matter
A mixed case, so the tin changes and the recipe does not
Dogs that need more fluid through the day; moisture is declared at 80.0%

Worth watching

Meat and animal derivatives behind the tripe, so no use for an elimination diet
Vegetable content written only as derivatives of vegetable origin, free to change between batches
No additives table, with minerals folded into the composition

The score, in context

Gelert Tripe Variety Tins 58.4

All one Good. Typical wet food: Excellent.

The analysis scores very well, and the gap to the typical wet food is almost all down to how little of the tin the label names.

Against the range

Three tins in one case: tripe with chicken, tripe with beef, and tripe alone. Each names tripe at 19%, and the rest of the animal side is written as meat and animal derivatives.
