Lily's Kitchen Tins Puppy review

Name: Lily's Kitchen Tins Puppy
Brand: Lily's Kitchen

76.2/100Excellent

WetPuppy

Flavour

Two wet growth tins you can read out loud in one go, and both sit in our Excellent band. Fresh meat opens each label and starch is held near the floor. The one gap is the mineral panel: vitamins and chelated minerals are named but not dosed, and no calcium figure is printed.

Our view

Likely to suit

Puppies who take to a wet dinner
Owners who like a short list of named foods
Pups kept on very little starch
Households feeding kibble too. A tin alongside brings water and appetite to the same meal
A pup kept to one animal, in the chicken tin

Worth watching

No calcium figure on either label, which a large breed growth plan really wants
Salmon oil in both, so neither anchors a fish free diet
Vitamins and minerals named without doses, so there is no panel to check

The score, in context

Turkey 77.2
Lily's Kitchen Tins Puppy 76.2

All two Excellent. Typical wet food: Excellent.

Turkey and duck edges just ahead of the chicken, and the two match each other pillar for pillar.

No calcium figure on the label, so a large breed growth plan has nothing to check.

The tin for a pup kept to one animal, as long as fish is not a problem.

Two wet puppy tins, both led by fresh meat and both short behind it. Carbohydrate is estimated at 1.8% as fed in each, and protein converts to more than half the dry matter. Salmon oil runs through both, and both close on a herb blend named one plant at a time.

What varies is the meat and the vegetables. The chicken tin keeps to one animal with a little potato and carrot. The turkey and duck tin brings two birds plus sweet potato, pumpkin, kale and cranberries. Neither label doses its vitamins and chelated minerals.
