Name: Gelert Working Dog Tripe Mix
Brand: Gelert

45.3/100Average

WetAdult

An Average working-dog tin with one of the shortest labels you will meet: meat and animal derivatives with tripe named at 19%, a vegetable category and minerals. Underneath sits a genuinely rich analysis, 50.0% protein and 37.5% fat in dry matter. That is the profile a hard-working dog wants.

Our view

Likely to suit

Hard-working dogs that need fat as well as protein
A tripe-forward bowl, the one ingredient the label commits to
Kennels feeding a run of dogs on one tin, with no recipes to track
Dogs that need water with dinner; moisture is 80.0%

Worth watching

Tripe at 19% is the only name on the animal side, and the rest can change between batches
Derivatives of vegetable origin gives no detail, which shuts the door on an elimination diet
No energy figure on the label, so the calories shown are our estimate

The score, in context

Gelert Working Dog Tripe Mix 45.3

All one Average. Typical wet food: Excellent.

A score about disclosure: the analysis reads Outstanding, and nearly all the distance to a typical wet food comes from what the label leaves out.

What's in it

Meat and animal derivativesAny warm-blooded land animal, very good to very ordinary, and the mix can move between batches.
Tripe19%A ruminant's stomach, usually a cow's. Nutrient dense, easy to digest and about as tasty as dog food gets.
Derivatives of vegetable originAnything from cereals to legumes to oil seed.
MineralsOne word, so which vitamins and trace elements go in is not stated.

The printed analysis leaves nothing for carbohydrate, a sign of rounded figures: read it as meat-led, not starch-free.

Named ingredients

Meat & Animal Derivatives (Tripe 19%), Derivatives of Vegetable Origin and Minerals.
