Natures Menu Delicious Pate Pouches Light review

Name: Natures Menu Delicious Pate Pouches Light
Brand: Natures Menu

73.9/100Excellent

WetAdult

Excellent, and a light pate that keeps its meat. Chicken and rabbit make up 60% of the pouch, and fat converts to 16.3% of dry matter, the lowest we see on a Natures Menu pate. Six entries and the label is done.

Where to buy: coming soon

Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs on a weight plan, with the fat down and the meat share where it was
Owners who like a short label with a figure on the four entries that matter
Dogs meeting rabbit for the first time. Few foods use it
Hungry dieters. A light recipe means a bigger portion
Adults of any build, toy to giant

Worth watching

Chicken and rabbit share the pouch, so a dog reacting to either needs a different anchor
Rice at 2%, for a household keeping grain off the plate
Large servings at 83 kcal per 100g against 97 for typical adult wet food, so a pouch goes quickly with a big dog

The score, in context

Natures Menu Delicious Pate Pouches Light 73.9

All one Excellent. Typical wet food: Excellent.

It holds its own in a strong wet field because a light recipe here does not pay for its leanness in starch.
