Naturediet Purely: Free Range Lamb review

Name: Naturediet Purely: Free Range Lamb
Brand: Naturediet

79.5/100Excellent

WetAdult

Flavour

The shortest label Naturediet makes, and its best: one animal at 92%, cooked in the carton, plus added vitamins and minerals. All three sit near the top of our Excellent band. Nutritional balance and transparency both read Outstanding, which is what a list this plain earns.

Our view

Likely to suit

Elimination diets. The chicken and lamb cartons each carry one animal and no other animal-derived ingredient
Label readers, who will find barely a word past the meat
Homes avoiding grain and vegetables alike
Working dogs and hard keepers, at 147 kcal per 100g against the 97 typical of adult wet food
Fussy eaters, since a carton that is almost all meat has little to hide behind

Worth watching

The list stops at 92%, and the rest of the carton is not itemised beyond the added vitamins and minerals
Whitefish in the salmon carton carries no species name, which matters on a strict fish list
Rich by wet standards at 32.8% fat in dry matter, so change over slowly for a delicate stomach

The score, in context

British Farmed Chicken 79.5

All three Excellent. Typical wet food: Excellent.

The strongest showing in the Naturediet line, earned by naming one animal, printing its share and leaving the rest of the label empty.

What's in it

Lamb92%Free range on the pack. The only animal and the only ingredient.
Added vitamins and minerals

Vitamins A and D3 with iron, copper, manganese and zinc, each given a figure per kilo.

Named ingredients

Lamb - 92%

Against the range

Animal: Lamb, 92%; Chicken on one carton; salmon and whitefish on the other.
Poultry: None; The chicken carton is the only poultry in the range.
Analysis: 37.5% protein, 32.8% fat in dry matter; Identical across all three.

For a dog that reacts to poultry, this is the sensible first carton to try.

Every carton declares its animal at 92% and nothing else on the ingredient list: no rice, no vegetables, no oil, no botanicals. The chicken and the lamb are one species each; the salmon carton splits its share between salmon at 64% and whitefish at 28%. The analysis is identical across all three, at 37.5% protein and 32.8% fat in dry matter, with 147 kcal per 100g. The last 8% or so of each carton is not itemised beyond the added vitamins and minerals.
