JR Complete Wellbeing: Turkey & Chicken review

Name: JR Complete Wellbeing: Turkey & Chicken
Brand: JR

81.6/100Outstanding

WetAdult

Flavour

Outstanding across all seven, and about as short as a tin label gets: named meat at 90%, then carrot and peas. Two Simply tins put the whole share on one animal; the rest split it between two. Protein converts to between 44.8% and 57.1% of dry matter.

Our view

Likely to suit

Owners who want every food in the tin quantified
Dogs that have to stay on one animal, with Simply Beef and Simply Chicken
Grain-avoiding homes. Carrot and peas are the only plants
Rotation across poultry, red meat and game, all built the same way
Small eaters, with a 200g tin alongside the 400g
Dogs that never quite drink enough

Worth watching

Only the two Simply tins can anchor an elimination diet
Beef comes as meat and hearts, worth knowing for a dog sensitive to offal
No calories or calcium on the labels, so ask the maker if you already feed a mineral supplement

All seven Outstanding. Typical wet food: Excellent.

All seven land level with one another, and the figures show how little of each tin is anything other than meat and vegetable.

What's in it

Turkey45%Leaner than most meats.
Chicken45%
Carrot8%Cooked carrot is easy to digest and brings beta carotene.
Peas2%A little fibre and plant protein, never bulk.
Vitamins and minerals

Vitamins D3 and E with iron, copper, manganese, zinc and iodine, every line with a figure; a brief panel, as the meat carries most of the micronutrition.

Against the range

Fat, dry matter: 25.0%; Among the leanest; Simply Beef is 46.4%.
Energy: 121 kcal per 100g, estimated; Among the lowest in the range.

The lighter poultry pair, so daily amounts run towards the larger end.

Every tin is meat, carrot at 8%, peas at 2% and a short vitamin and mineral panel. The meat is either two named animals at 45% each or one at 90%, and every entry carries a percentage. No grain, gravy, thickener or category term appears.

Where beef is used it is declared as meat and hearts. Carbohydrate converts to between 0.0% and 9.3% of dry matter. No label declares calories or calcium.
