Flavour

Single-animal wet trays at 65% meat, with the turkey and salmon in our Excellent band and the chicken a whisker below in Good. They are richer than most wet food. Fat converts to between 30.0% and 37.5% of dry matter, so these suit a dog with the appetite and activity to use it.

Likely to suit

Dogs that need building up, at 114 to 141 kcal per 100g against a typical 97
Label readers. The named animal is declared at 65% on the front of every tray
Grain-avoiding homes, with potato, carrots and peas as the starch
Working dogs and hard keepers
Dogs kept strictly on fish, via the salmon tray

Worth watching

Salmon oil on all three, so the chicken and turkey carry fish too
Generous fat for a dog that gains weight easily
One 400g size only, which leaves a small dog with an open tray to cover and keep

The score, in context

Turkey 70.3
Salmon 70.0
Chicken 69.7

Three recipes across Excellent and Good. Typical wet food: Excellent.

The three finish shoulder to shoulder, so the choice is about your dog's animal and appetite more than about one tray being better made.

What's in it

Chicken, including chicken broth65%5% of that is broth, a detail most makers leave you to guess at.
Vegetables: potato, carrots, peas20%Rehydrated from 3.9% dried, so not a fifth of the tray in fresh vegetables.
Minerals
Sunflower oil0.75%A gentle plant oil that brings vitamin E.
Salmon oil0.3%The omega 3 side, and fish on a chicken label.
Tomato powder, dried kelp0.15% and 0.08%Kelp for natural iodine.
Cranberry, blueberry, chicory root, yeast0.05% down to 0.04%Chicory's inulin suits the gut bacteria.
Basil, yucca powder, pomegranate extract0.016% down to 0.002%

Vitamins A, D3 and E with zinc, iron, copper and manganese, all dosed, the minerals as sulphates.

Named ingredients

Chicken 65% (Including 5% Chicken Broth), Vegetables 20% (from 3.9% Dried Potato, Carrots and Peas), Minerals, Sunflower Oil 0.75%, Salmon Oil 0.3%, Tomato Powder 0.15%, Dried Kelp 0.08%, Dried Cranberry 0.05%, Dried Blueberry 0.05%, Dried Chicory Root 0.04%, Yeast 0.04%, Dried Basil 0.016%, Yucca Powder 0.01%, Pomegranate Extract 0.002%

Against the range

Broth: 5% chicken broth declared; The only broth stated in the range.
Energy: 133 kcal per 100g; Between the turkey at 114 and the salmon at 141.
Fat, dry matter: 35.2%; 30.0% on the turkey, 37.5% on the salmon.

The middle tray for richness, for a dog that does well on chicken.

Each tray is 65% one named animal, then vegetables at 20% rehydrated from 3.9% dried potato, carrots and peas, with no cereal. Sunflower oil at 0.75% and salmon oil at 0.3% sit on every label, and a long weighed tail follows, from tomato powder and kelp to pomegranate extract.

What varies is richness. Fat runs from 30.0% to 37.5% of dry matter and energy from 114 to 141 kcal per 100g, while estimated carbohydrate stays close to the wet-food norm. The salmon panel drops vitamin D3.
