Flavour

The supermarket's own-label chunks in gravy, five packs across adult, senior and worker recipes, all in our Average band. The species on the front is a fixed 4% inside a broad legal category. These tins have fed a great many dogs perfectly well.

Our view

Likely to suit

Multi-dog homes, adult, senior and worker recipes sharing one construction
Dogs that like variety: beef, chicken, turkey, lamb and poultry
Dog food that comes home with the weekly shop
Dogs that eat better with gravy
A dog who does not drink enough, around four fifths of each serving being moisture

Worth watching

Only the 4% named species is fixed, so none can anchor an elimination diet
Various sugars on every label, for taste
Unnamed cereals in the 400g tins, and fish oil in the 100g packs

Against the range

Carbohydrate, dry matter: 37.9%; The highest in the range; 8.3% on the senior packs.
Fat, as fed: 3.0%; The leanest, shared with the 24-tin case.
Calcium, dry matter: 1.62%; Declared only on the two standard adult tins.

The leanest analysis of the five, and a comfortable calcium level for adult maintenance.

Every pack is built on meat and animal derivatives with the species on the front fixed at 4% inside it, then minerals and various sugars. The 100g packs add named chicory and fish oil with percentages and no cereal; the 400g tins add unnamed cereals.

Protein converts to between 32.4% and 47.2% of dry matter and fat to between 16.2% and 30.6%. No label declares energy, so those figures are our estimates.
