Our view

Likely to suit

Large dogs and multi-dog homes. One 1275 g pack covers a whole day for a mid-sized dog
Dogs that prefer chunks in gravy to a smooth loaf
A low starch bowl, an estimated 11.5% of dry matter against 15.8% for the typical adult wet food
Dogs whose appetite picks up when there is gravy to lick first

Worth watching

Most of the meat belongs to no particular animal
Cereals with no grain named, so wheat or maize cannot be ruled out
Egg on the list, if it is on your avoidance list

The score, in context

Husse Kalv Chunks in Gravy 36.5

All one Average. Typical wet food: Excellent.

The analysis is stronger than the band suggests; the placement comes from how much of the label is left to category wording.

What's in it

Meat and animal derivatives42%A legal catch-all for the meaty parts and processing products of land animals. The mix can change between runs while the wording stays the same.
Veal5.5%Inside the 42%, and the only part with a species.
CerealsAny grain, in any proportion.
Eggs and eggs derivativesDense, easily used protein.
MineralsUnnamed. No trace elements appear on the panel either.

Vitamins A, D3 and E per kilogram, and that is the whole declared panel.

Ash converts to 13.5% of dry matter, high for a wet recipe, which points to a good deal of bone or added mineral.

Named ingredients

Meat and animal derivatives 42% (veal 5.5%), cereals, eggs and eggs derivatives, minerals.

Against the range

One chunks-in-gravy recipe sold in a 1275 g size. Meat and animal derivatives make up 42%, with veal at 5.5% the only named animal; cereals, egg and minerals fill out the rest.
