Natures Deli Adult Wet Food: Turkey review

1. Salmon 75.5
2. Turkey 75.4
3. Lamb 74.0
4. Chicken 73.6

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.

Between the chicken and the lamb pairing.

A sound choice for a dog that finds chicken a bit much.

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%.

Budget end of the market for a wet food, though on the analysis alone you pay a little more than it strictly earns.
