JosiDog in Sauce: Chicken & Carrot review

Name: JosiDog in Sauce: Chicken & Carrot
Brand: JosiDog

53.8/100Good

WetAdult

Flavour

A German everyday tin in sauce, where the named animal is 4.0% and the rest of the meat is a category term. Behind that wording sits a solid analysis, with protein in the high thirties of dry matter and declared calories. Three tins land in our Average band, the two carrot recipes a step up in Good.

Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs settled on a plain, familiar tin
Owners who want the energy figure from the label, since these tins declare it
Protein in a wet bowl: 38.9% of dry matter on the plain recipes
Several dogs of different sizes on one recipe
Dogs that like their dinner in sauce

Worth watching

The named animal is 4.0%; everything else meaty is meat and animal derivatives
Fish on the beef, chicken and game tins
Unnamed cereals that may vary between batches
Caramel syrup on every tin, there for colour

Against the range

Protein, dry matter: 37.5%; 38.9% on the plain tins.
Energy: 87 kcal per 100g; 76 on the plain tins.

The top scorer in the range by a whisker, with no fish heading on the label.

Every tin is chunks in sauce built on meat and animal derivatives, with the animal on the front at 4.0% inside it, then unnamed cereals, minerals and caramel syrup. The beef, chicken and game tins add fish and fish derivatives and taurine.

The two carrot tins drop the fish, add vegetable protein extracts and dried carrot, and run a touch denser at 87 kcal per 100g. Protein sits in the high thirties of dry matter across all five.
