Natures Deli Grain Free Adult Wet Food: Duck and Chicken review
A meat-first wet range with all four trays in our Excellent band. The named animal is 71% or 72% of every tray, and everything behind it is printed in small amounts, the vegetables twice over: dried, and as the fresh weight they stand in for.

Our view
Likely to suit
- Grain-avoiding households, with no cereal anywhere on the label
- Dogs held to one animal: the chicken and turkey trays each carry a single named meat
- Owners who want honest percentages
- Dogs that need a rich, protein-forward dinner
- A change from the usual birds, with duck leading one tray at 40%
Worth watching
- Dried mixed herbs never says what is in it
- White fish in the salmon tray with no species
- No declared energy, so portions are a starting point

Every tray is at least seven tenths named animal: chicken at 72%, turkey at 71%, duck at 40% with chicken at 31%, or salmon at 36% with white fish at 35%. Sweet potato, carrot, peas and broccoli follow, each printed dried and as the fresh weight it replaces, and there is no cereal.
