JosiDog in Sauce: Game review

Name: JosiDog in Sauce: Game
Brand: JosiDog

42.7/100Average

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

Named ingredients

Meat and animal derivatives (game 4.0%); cereals; fish and fish derivatives; minerals; caramel syrup

Against the range

Named animal: Game, 4.0%; Beef or chicken elsewhere.
Analysis: Same as the plain beef and chicken; The carrot tins run a touch denser.

The least usual animal in the range, worth a try once the everyday meats are done.

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.
