WetPuppyAdult

Flavour

About as plain as a wet food list gets: one named animal at 80%, a little starch and yucca, and all three recipes in our Outstanding band. The thing to know before ordering is the water. At 65% moisture these are denser than most tins, so servings look smaller than owners expect.

Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs held to a single meat. Each recipe names one animal and nothing unnamed follows
Owners who like a number beside the meat, and every label says 80%
Small eaters, since dense recipes keep portions modest for a wet food
Grain-avoiding homes, answered by the turkey on chickpea flour and green beans
Fussy eaters, with fat at 31.4% to 37.1% of dry matter

Worth watching

Brown rice in the lamb and the chicken; only the turkey is grain free
Minerals as one unnamed entry, with doses printed only on the chicken
A dog moving from a standard tin needs a smaller serving and fresh water alongside

The score, in context

Farm-Reared Grain Free Turkey 83.4
Farm-Reared Lamb 80.4
Free Range Chicken 80.3

All three Outstanding. Typical wet food: Excellent.

All three arrive level, on one named animal at 80% with very little else asked to do any work, and finish above the middle of an already strong wet shelf.

Against the range

Grain: None; Brown rice in the lamb and the chicken.
Protein, dry matter: 42.9%; 41.4% lamb, 40% chicken.
Carbohydrate, dry matter: 11.3%; Up to 14.3% in the lamb.

The grain-free pick of the three, and the leader on our scoring.

Each recipe is one named animal at 80%, with no second species anywhere on the label. Chickpea flour sits behind the meat in all three, then green beans, brown rice or carrots and peas, and yucca extract at 0.05% closes every list. Carbohydrate converts to 11.3% to 14.3% of dry matter.

Moisture is 65% on all three, low for wet food, so energy runs at 174 to 185 kcal per 100g. Minerals are a single word on every label, and only the chicken prints its vitamin and trace element doses. No oil is added to any of them.
