Natures Deli Adult Wet Food: Chicken review

Name: Natures Deli Adult Wet Food: Chicken
Brand: Natures Deli

73.6/100Excellent

WetAdult

Flavour

Named meat at 60% with a short, fully measured cast behind it, and all four trays in our Excellent band. The salmon and turkey sit a shade ahead. The one thing the label keeps back is the mineral addition, printed as a single word.

Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs kept to one animal, on the chicken, turkey or salmon tray
Owners who want a percentage against everything that matters
Unsettled digestion, with chicory root on every tray
Protein without heaviness: 40.0% to 44.0% of dry matter
Rotating meats on one build

Worth watching

Brown rice on every label, for a cereal-free bowl
Energy is our estimate, so treat portions as a starting point
The lamb and chicken tray is the richest, so ease a sensitive stomach onto it

All four Excellent. Typical wet food: Excellent.

Solidly in the thick of a strong wet category, with itemised minerals and a declared energy figure the two things that would carry it further.

Named ingredients

Chicken (60%)*, Carrots (4%)*, Brown Rice (4%)*, Dried Peas (1% Dried Peas, Equivalent to 4% Peas)*, Minerals, Chicory Root (a source of Prebiotic FOS, 0.2%)*, Sage (0.1%)*.

Against the range

Protein, dry matter: 44.0%; Joint highest with the turkey; the others 40.0%.
Fat, dry matter: 30%; Leanest of the four; the lamb and chicken is 40.0%.
Herb: Sage; Shared with the turkey; rosemary or parsley on the others.

The leanest bowl in the range, with protein at the top.

Every tray leads with its animal at 60%, as one entry or two split evenly. Carrots and brown rice follow at 4% each and dried peas at 1%, then minerals, chicory root at 0.2% and one herb at 0.1%. Only the animal and the herb change from tray to tray.

Protein converts to between 40.0% and 44.0% of dry matter and fat to between 30.0% and 40.0%, richer than a wet tray usually reads. Our carbohydrate estimate runs 6.0% to 12.0%.
