Flavour

One construction wearing five different animals, all in our Excellent band. Meat is 60% in every recipe, brown rice at 5% is the only cereal, and nearly every line on the label carries a printed percentage, including the trace extras most makers leave vague.

Our view

Likely to suit

Owners who read the back of the pack before the front
The animal share quantified, at 60% on every recipe
Dogs that do well on a modest amount of gentle grain
Multi-dog homes, from toy breeds to giants
Rotation feeding: the supporting ingredients never change, only the animal does
Vegetables in the bowl, declared as their fresh equivalents

Worth watching

Salmon oil in all five, so fish is on every label
Brown rice in every recipe, if cereal is off the list
The Duck shares its meat equally with chicken

The score, in context

Chicken 75.5
Duck 75.4
Lamb 74.8

All five Excellent. Typical wet food: Excellent.

Close enough together that the animal is what you are really choosing, and a range that holds its own on a strong shelf.

What's in it

Turkey60%The whole meat share to one bird.
Brown rice5%The only cereal in the range.
Dried carrots, dried peas1.3% eachDeclared as 10% fresh carrots and 4% fresh peas, an honest way of showing what went into the pan.
Salmon oilFish on every label in the range.
Dried basil, parsley, rosemary, mint, sageTrace level. Rosemary also keeps the fats from turning.
Minerals, high nucleotide yeast extract, seaweed meal0.015% yeast extractSeaweed brings iodine and a spread of minerals.
Glucosamine, chondroitin sulphate, yucca schidigera, cranberry0.025% down to 0.002%Small amounts, and printed, which is the point.

Every trace element dosed per kilo, with zinc and manganese partly chelated to amino acids, a form usually absorbed more readily.

Named ingredients

Turkey (60%), Brown Rice (5%), Dried Carrots (1.3%, equivalent to 10% Carrots), Dried Peas (1.3%, equivalent to 4% Peas), Salmon Oil, Dried Basil, Dried Parsley, Dried Rosemary, Dried Mint, Dried Sage, Minerals, High Nucelotide Yeast Extract (0.015%), Seaweed Meal, Glucosamine (0.004%), Chondroitin Sulphate (0.002%), Yucca Schidigera (0.025%), Cranberry (0.002%)

Against the range

Moisture: 70.0%; 75.0% on the other four.
Energy: 128 kcal per 100g; Most concentrated of the five.
Ash, dry matter: 20.0%; Well above its siblings.

The highest scorer of the five, with a heavier mineral load than the rest.

Every recipe declares meat at 60% and brown rice at 5% as its only cereal, then the same dried carrots and peas, salmon oil, herbs and printed trace extras. Chicken, Lamb and Turkey give the whole 60% to one animal; the Duck splits it with chicken and the Ocean Fish between salmon and white fish.

Nearly everything carries a printed percentage, down to the cranberry. What varies is the analysis: fat, energy and estimated carbohydrate move with the animal, and the Ocean Fish is the one noticeably starchier recipe.
