80.1/100Outstanding

WetAdult

Flavour

A plain, meat-led wet range, and all three cartons land in our Outstanding band. Each one prints its animal content at 60% and keeps cereal off the label entirely, with the starch coming from small, named amounts of potato and parsnip. Nothing on the list needs looking up.

Our view

Likely to suit

Grain-avoiding households. No cereal appears on any of the three labels
Owners who want a printed figure for the meat, 60% on every carton
Dogs settled on one meat: the chicken and the lamb each keep to a single named animal
Dogs that drink too little, with moisture making up roughly three quarters of every serving
Homes feeding a small and a large dog from the same order

Worth watching

Dried egg on all three labels, so none of them suits an elimination diet where egg is the suspect
Whitefish in the salmon carton with no species given
The salmon's fat at 34.6% of dry matter. Pace it for a dog that gains weight quickly

The score, in context

Lamb 80.8
Chicken 80.4
Salmon 80.1

All three Outstanding. Typical wet food: Excellent.

The three cartons finish within a whisker of each other, so the choice comes down to the animal your dog gets on with.

Named ingredients

Salmon - 42%, Whitefish - 18%, Carrot - 3.5%, Potato - 3.5%, Parsnip - 3%, Dried Egg, Dried Seaweed

Against the range

Meat: Salmon 42%, whitefish 18%; One named meat at 60% on the others.
Fat, dry matter: 34.6%; 28.6% on the chicken and the lamb.
Carbohydrate, dry matter: 9.6% (estimate); 17.9% and 19.7% on the others.
Energy: 114 kcal per 100g; 122 kcal on the others.

The richest carton and the lowest in starch, for a dog that does well on fish.

Every carton declares its animal content at 60%. The chicken and the lamb give all of it to one named meat; the salmon splits it into salmon at 42% and whitefish at 18%. Carrot at 3.5%, potato at 3.5% and parsnip at 3% make up the plant side, each with a printed figure, and there is no cereal on any of the three labels.

Dried egg and dried seaweed close every list, and the added vitamins and minerals are the same short panel throughout. What varies is fat and carbohydrate: the salmon runs richest at 34.6% fat in dry matter and lowest in carbohydrate at an estimated 9.6%.
