Our view

Likely to suit

Households with more than one dog, six flavours off a single construction
Owners who want the named meat share printed
Grain-free and gluten-free homes
A steady bowl, with fat between 25.0% and 30.0% of dry matter
Every adult dog in the house, toy breeds to giants

Worth watching

Salmon oil on all six labels, so every can carries fish
Chicken in four of the six; the duck and plain turkey leave it out
Ash between 16.8% and 20.0% of dry matter, high for a wet food

All six Good. Typical wet food: Excellent.

Half named meat and a high mineral reading keep all six a step under the wet shelf's middle; the consistency is worth something in itself.

Against the range

Meat: Duck 50%; Chicken, turkey, beef or salmon on the others.
Ash, dry matter: 20.0%; Highest in the range.
Energy: 82 kcal per 100g; Lightest, with the chicken.

A useful change for a dog that has worked through poultry and beef, and one of two cans with no chicken.

Every can is half named animal: chicken, duck or turkey alone at 50%, or two meats split 26% and 24%. Fruit and vegetables come in at 8%, from carrots, blueberries and potato on the paired cans and peppers, peas and sweet potato on the singles.

Three oils are named and weighed, salmon oil among them, so every can carries fish. A tail of kelp, chicory, herbs and a token of glucosamine and chondroitin follows. Crude ash runs 16.8% to 20.0% of dry matter, high for a wet food.
