Our view

Likely to suit

Small breeds on a rotation. Three animals on one recipe make a switch a gentle change
Dogs kept to fish alone, on the Salmon, where even the added oil is salmon
Owners who want percentages, printed right beside the meat on all three
A dog fine with whole grain, as brown rice is the one cereal
Little dogs that need more energy per mouthful than the typical adult wet food gives

Worth watching

Brown rice on every label, for a grain-free household
Salmon oil in the Duck and the Turkey, so neither keeps to one animal
The Salmon is much the richest, at 141 kcal per 100g, and wants a smaller portion
