We don't put a score on this food. It is a veterinary diet, formulated for a diagnosed condition and meant to be fed on a vet's advice. Your vet has seen your dog and we have not, so a number from us could only pull you towards their advice or away from it, and neither of those is ours to do. What follows is what the label declares, what the analysis works out at, and where to buy it, with no judgement attached to any of it.

Our view

Likely to suit

A wet stew format, with moisture declared at 81.3%
A declared calcium figure, at 0.86% of dry matter
Owners who want the trace elements dosed on the panel

Worth watching

Category wording throughout, so the list cannot confirm a dog is off a particular meat or grain
A light food at 75 kcal per 100g, so a tin goes a shorter way than a denser food
