Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs kept to one named animal
Owners who like the offal spelled out, each cut at its own percentage
Grain-avoiding homes
Rotation feeders with a dog that tires of one flavour
Poor drinkers. Three quarters or more of each serving is moisture

Worth watching

Energy runs from 87 to 131 kcal per 100g, so portions change when you switch
Spirulina at 0.5% and berries at 2% season the pouch more than feed it
The duck is built on a different plant list, so it is not a straight swap

Four pouches that match pillar for pillar, the shape of a range built to one recipe, with the duck keeping pace on less meat.

Against the range

Fat, dry matter: 33.3%; 23.5% to 26.3% in the other three.
Energy: 131 kcal per 100g; 87 to 97 in the rest.
Protein, dry matter: 42.9%; The lowest here; the chicken reaches 50.0%.

The richest pouch in the range, so the label's portion runs smallest here.

Each pouch is one animal: beef, chicken and turkey declared at 60% and duck at 55%, with the organs and trimmings weighed at 4% apiece inside that figure. No cereal appears on any label. Beef, chicken and turkey share a sweet potato, berry and spirulina base; the duck has its own plant list.

Yucca, green tea and rosemary extracts sit at trace level at the tail. The added panels are short and dosed, and vitamin A and copper come and go between flavours.
