Harringtons Just 6 Wet: Lamb review

80.2/100Outstanding

WetAdult

Flavour

Very short recipes that score well: the lamb reaches Outstanding and the chicken and salmon sit a whisker behind. Freshly prepared meat at 70% and a few weighed vegetables are nearly the whole label. Nothing clever is going on, and that is the appeal.

Our view

Likely to suit

Owners who want to read the whole label in one go
Dogs that do better without cereal; peas, sweet potato and potato carry the starch
Dogs kept to fish: the salmon recipe's animal content is all fish
Rotating chicken, lamb and salmon on one construction
Plenty of protein, at 34.8% to 41.3% of dry matter

Worth watching

Salmon oil on all three labels, so the chicken and lamb bring fish too
Cassia gum as the thickener, which some owners avoid
Selenium as sodium selenite, not the organic form

Named ingredients

Freshly Prepared Lamb 70%, Peas (6%), Sweet Potato (4.2%), Potato (4%), Vitamins & Minerals, Salmon Oil (0.2%), Vegetable Stock (0.2%)

Against the range

Fibre, dry matter: 3.5%; The most of the three.
Fat, dry matter: 26.1%; The least; the salmon is 34.8%.
Band: Outstanding; Excellent on the other two.

For a dog that finds richer food heavy, the gentlest of the set.

Every recipe opens with freshly prepared meat at 70%, then peas at 6%, sweet potato at 4.2% and potato at 4%, each with its own figure. No cereal. Salmon oil at 0.2% closes all three lists, so fish is in every can whatever the front says.

The added panel is the same on all three, with a figure beside every vitamin and mineral and cassia gum at 3000 mg per kilo giving the set. The lamb and salmon add vegetable stock.
