Our view

Likely to suit

Owners who want the vegetables itemised, sweet potato at 12% down to the mushroom blend
A grain-free household, with sweet potato carrying the starch
Dogs settled on chicken: the Chicken tray names one animal and prints its share
Bigger or hungrier dogs, since these trays carry more energy than most wet food
A fussy eater, with a mixed pack carrying both recipes
Dogs that like a broth-heavy texture

Worth watching

The Salmon tray puts salmon and chicken under one 70% figure with no split
Salmon oil on both labels, so neither suits a dog kept off fish
Broth is counted inside the meat share, not added to it
Fat at 38.0% of dry matter is rich going for a dog that gains weight easily

The score, in context

Salmon 81.8
Chicken 56.0

Two recipes across Outstanding and Good. Typical wet food: Excellent.

The two look like twins on the shelf, and the gap between them comes down to what each label pins down about its meat.

Against the range

Meat: Chicken only, 70%; Salmon and chicken together in the other, no split.
Protein, dry matter: 32.0%; 30.0% on the Salmon.
Carbohydrate, dry matter: 17.6%; 19.6% on the Salmon.

The cleaner single-animal tray of the two, for a dog settled on chicken.

Both trays declare 70% freshly prepared meat, and 26% of the tray inside that figure is the animal's own broth, so the solid meat share is smaller than the headline. Then 22% superfoods, each weighed: sweet potato at 12%, pumpkin at 3.6%, spinach, green beans and blueberries at 2% each, and a mushroom blend.

A short tail follows on both, with salmon oil, botanicals, seaweed, chicory extract and rosemary. Neither label carries a cereal. Fat converts to 38.0% of dry matter on both, and calcium to 2.0%.
