Lifestage Adult Dog Grain Free Wet: Lamb & Potato review

WetAdult

Flavour

Five 395 g tins on one plain idea: a named meat at 60%, dried potato behind it and very little else. Where the label is printed, it names the species and puts a percentage beside it. The weak spot is the paperwork, with the lamb tin declaring no analysis whatsoever.

Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs kept to one named animal, each tin leading on a single meat
A cereal-free bowl, with dried potato carrying the starch
Rotating between chicken, duck, lamb, salmon and turkey on one recipe
Dogs that are not great drinkers. Seven tenths of each tin is water
A dog that suits an oily fish, with the salmon tin in the line-up

Worth watching

No protein, fat or moisture declared on the lamb tin
The duck and turkey listings stop at the headline meat
Carbohydrate at an estimated 26.8% of dry matter, against 15.8% for the typical adult wet food

The details

Dog fit

Listed for adults of every size. A 15kg dog eats roughly 1000 grams a day of most tins by our estimate, so read the pack itself for the flavours whose full list is not shown.

All five Poor. Typical wet food: Excellent.

The labels we can read stand up well, with a named species at 60% and potato as the only starch; the paperwork has fallen behind the recipes, and the lamb tin most of all.

What's in it

Copper, iodine, iron, manganese, selenium and zinc salts with vitamins A, D3 and E, listed without doses.

No ingredient list and no analysis published. Read this tin on the shelf before relying on it as a daily dinner.

Against the range

Ingredients: None published; Named on the other four, in full on two.
Analysis: None declared; Declared on the other four.

The odd one out, and the tin to check in person.

Every tin that shows its list is built the same way: one named animal at 60% and dried potato at 5%. A short run of dried vegetables and herbs, minerals and sunflower oil follows. No cereal appears. Dried potato takes its water back on in the tin, which is why carbohydrate reaches an estimated 26.8% of dry matter.

The duck and turkey listings stop at the headline meat, and the lamb tin publishes no ingredients and no analysis at all.
