Flavour

Four pouches, each with a job on the label: digestion, skin and coat, weight, ageing joints. Pick by the problem you are trying to help, because that is how the range is arranged. Gut Health and Mobility & Senior reach our Excellent band, with the other two a step behind in Good.

Our view

Likely to suit

Owners who want a food pointed at one specific job
Readers of percentages. The animal and the vegetables are both weighed
Bigger and busier dogs, at 132 to 170 kcal per 100g where most wet food sits nearer 97
Older dogs slowing down: collagen peptides, turmeric and boswellia join the joint ingredients in Mobility & Senior
Dogs who need to lose a bit, with the Low Fat pouch holding fat to 4.5%
Unsettled digestion. Psyllium husks, slippery elm and fennel are on the Gut Health label

Worth watching

Plasma with no animal named, for a dog excluding one meat precisely
Oats and salmon oil in the Low Allergen pouch, so it is neither grain free nor fish free
White fish is a description, not a species, on the Low Fat and Mobility labels
Joint doses on Mobility sit beside a vet's own dosing; they do not replace it

Against the range

Meat: Turkey at 60%; Duck at 60%, white fish at 70%, and three fish in Mobility.
Grain: None; Oats in Low Allergen, brown rice in Low Fat.
Added oil: None; Salmon, sunflower or coconut oil in the other three.

The simplest label of the four, and the top scorer: one animal, no grain, no added oil.

Every recipe opens with its animal and a printed share, and the vegetables behind it are weighed too. Moisture runs from 57.0% to 70.0%, under most wet food, so energy sits between 132 and 170 kcal per 100g. Carbohydrate converts to between 21.6% and 39.9% of dry matter, more plant and grain than a meat and broth pouch.

AuraGuard is on all four labels at 0.1%, plasma appears without an animal named, and the trace minerals are chelates of protein hydrolysates throughout. The botanicals change with each pouch's job, all at trace level. Two panels print vitamin D3 and two list only vitamins A and E.
