Natural Greatness

Natural Greatness Veterinary Wet: Hepatic & Cardiac review

We don't put a score on this food. It is a veterinary diet, formulated for a diagnosed condition and meant to be fed on a vet's advice. Your vet has seen your dog and we have not, so a number from us could only pull you towards their advice or away from it, and neither of those is ours to do. What follows is what the label declares, what the analysis works out at, and where to buy it, with no judgement attached to any of it.

Natural Greatness lists these six under the same Veterinary line in wet form, each recipe named for a condition and written as a very short ingredient statement. They are offered for dogs whose condition the maker expects a vet to be managing.

WetAdult

Flavour

Six wet recipes in the Natural Greatness Veterinary line, each written for a condition a vet is expected to be managing. We leave them unscored. The labels are strikingly brief, four to eight entries, with the meat share printed first and chicken named by part on two of them.

Where to buy: coming soon

Live retailer links are coming soon. Once we have them from UK retailers, where to buy and the best price will appear here.

Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs on a vet-managed plan for one of the six named conditions
Owners who want a short list they can read at a glance
Joint support in two recipes, with glucosamine and chondroitin sulphate dosed
A fish-free option in the Urinary-Struvite recipe

Worth watching

No vitamin or trace mineral doses anywhere on the labels
Dairy in the Hepatic & Cardiac recipe and beef in the Renal-Oxalate and Urinary-Struvite ones
Moisture is not printed on two recipes

Named ingredients

Chicken (stomach, liver, fat and neck) 45%, Cottage cheese 5%, Pumpkin 5%, Mineralsubstances, Salmon oil 0.6%.

Against the range

Dairy: Cottage cheese, 5%; None on the others.
Fat, dry matter: 45.0%; 15.0% on Obesity & Diabetic up to 47.3% on Renal-Oxalate.
Energy: 119 kcal per 100g; 71 to 124 across the line.

Fat carries the calories here, the intended arrangement on a liver diet.

Six veterinary wet recipes, each named for a condition and written as a very short ingredient statement with the meat percentage at the front. Meat sits high across the line, and the hepatic and urinary recipes name chicken by part. Minerals appear only as a category and no additive panel is given, so vitamin and trace mineral doses are not on the label.

Fish oil appears in five of the six. Plant matter is sparse, and the joint recipe carries none. Two recipes do not print moisture, so their dry matter figures rest on an assumption.
