WetAdultSenior

Hill's weight-loss tray for small dogs, turkey-led and in our Average band. It is far the most fibrous recipe on this shelf, crude fibre converting to 13.8% of dry matter, and one of the lightest at 82 kcal per 100g. The band comes from a list written in categories, not from anything the tray does wrong by a dieting dog.

Our view

Likely to suit

Small and toy dogs on a reducing plan
Older dogs slowing down, with fat at 12.5% of dry matter
Dogs that feel hungry between meals. The fibre is there for that
Feeding by the tray, 200 g at a time

Worth watching

Only turkey at 4% is named, so chicken cannot be ruled out
Vegetable protein extracts of unnamed origin help carry the protein
Light, but carbohydrate still converts to an estimated 40.0% of dry matter

The score, in context

Hill's Science Plan Perfect Weight Small & Mini Adult Dog Food with Turkey 42.2

All one Average. Typical wet food: Excellent.

A label that names one animal at 4% is what holds it back; set the paperwork aside and the recipe is a coherent piece of work for a small dog asked to lose a bit.
