78.7/100Excellent

WetAdult

Flavour

Four of these six grain free trays sit in our Excellent band, the Salmon a step below in Good and the Chicken in Average. The meat percentage and the vegetables are both on the front and both weighed. Read the bracket beside the headline figure, because chicken is folded into most of them.

Older and heavier dogs, with green lipped mussel in the Salmon tray

Worth watching

Chicken in all six trays, folded into the headline meat on five and the whole of it on the sixth

The score, in context

Lamb 79.0
Beef 78.7
Duck 78.3
Turkey 76.8
Salmon 68.1
Chicken 47.9

Six recipes across Excellent and Good and Average. Typical wet food: Excellent.

A label that declares its meat, weighs its vegetables and prints every additive does well here, with only the Salmon and the Chicken falling short of the leaders.

What's in it

Freshly prepared beef32%The headline meat, counted inside the 70%.

Chicory0.05%A prebiotic.

Named ingredients

70% Beef & Chicken (including 32% Freshly Prepared Beef), 20% Vegetables (Fresh Potato, Fresh Peas & Fresh Carrot), Minerals, Salmon oil (0.2%), Dried Tomato (0.15%), Seaweed (0.08%), Chicory (0.05%), Parsley (0.05%), Basil (0.05%), Green Tea (0.001%), Rosemary (0.01%), Rosehip (0.01%), Calories per 100g = 108 Kcal

Against the range

Energy: 108 kcal per 100g; The lightest of the six; up to 120 in the Chicken.
Carbohydrate, dry matter: 13.0%; The joint lowest, with the Lamb.
Other animals on the label: Chicken; Chicken in all but the Chicken tray, which is chicken alone.

A lean, beef-led tray, and the one where bowls run biggest.

Six trays on one construction. Five declare 70% animal content, with the headline meat freshly prepared and weighed, and four of those print it at 32% with chicken making up the rest. Fresh potato, peas and carrot carry the starch at 20%, and no cereal appears on any label.

Salmon oil and a short tail of botanicals close every list. Moisture runs from 75.0% to 77.0%, and protein converts to between 34.0% and 37.0% of dry matter. The Salmon tray is the one that changes the build.
