Our view

Likely to suit

Smaller adult dogs, the group Hill's lists it for
Owners who trust a widely stocked brand over an itemised label
Dogs that find rich wet food too much, with fat a moderate 14.8% of dry matter
A bored eater. Swap the flavour, keep the recipe

Worth watching

Everything animal beyond the 9% is meat and animal derivatives, so no tin can anchor an elimination diet
Unnamed cereals, with carbohydrate at an estimated 51.7% of dry matter against 15.8% typical

Listed for small adult dogs. Wet portions run large, so many owners pair it with a dry food and set both amounts together.

The score, in context

Hill's Science Plan Adult Dog Food with Chicken, with Turkey, with Beef 36.9

All one Average. Typical wet food: Excellent.

The reading reflects how little the label shows and how much cereal it carries; it is no safety verdict on a long-trusted brand.

What's in it

Meat and animal derivativesAny animal, any proportion. Not a hygiene concern; you take the recipe on trust.
Chicken, turkey or beef9%The fixed point, and the only thing separating the three tins.
CerealsAny grain, and doing kibble-sized work here.
Minerals
Oils and fats
Derivatives of vegetable origin

Iron, iodine, copper, manganese and zinc, each dosed per kilo, with barely any change between the three flavours.

Named ingredients

With Chicken: COMPOSITION: Meat and animal derivatives (chicken 9%), cereals, minerals, oils and fats, derivatives of vegetable origin.; with Turkey: COMPOSITION: Meat and animal derivatives (turkey 9%), cereals, minerals, oils and fats, derivatives of vegetable origin.; with Beef: COMPOSITION: Meat and animal derivatives (beef 9%), cereals, minerals, oils and fats, derivatives of vegetable origin.

Against the range

One recipe in three tins, each naming its headline species at 9%: chicken, turkey or beef. The other four entries are legal category terms that can change between batches while the label stays the same. The estimated cereal share is high for a wet food.
