Flavour

One named animal at 70% of the tray, then the kind of ingredient list that ends up photographed on the front of the box. Chicken, Turkey and Salmon each get a recipe, and every tray reads Excellent. Almost every entry under the meat carries a figure, which is rarer than the superfoods.

Our view

Likely to suit

Owners who want the meat share printed plainly
A cereal avoiding dog: no grain on any of the three labels
A fish-only household, as the Salmon tray keeps to salmon right through to the oil
Rotating flavours. The trays swap only the animal
Dogs that need plenty of energy in a modest serving, on the Salmon

Worth watching

Salmon oil in all three, so the Chicken and Turkey trays are not fish free
Portions change a lot between the Salmon and the poultry pair
Estimated carbohydrate of 22.2% of dry matter on the Chicken, against 15.8% for typical adult wet food

The score, in context

Turkey 72.7
Salmon 71.8

All three Excellent. Typical wet food: Excellent.

Transparency carries all three, and the estimated carbohydrate on the poultry trays is what holds nutritional balance back.

The pick for a fish-only dog, and a smaller serving goes further.

Each tray leads with one named animal at 70%, then a single 14% fruit and vegetable entry of sweet potato, spinach and blueberries. There is no cereal in any of the three. Salmon oil and sunflower oil are the added fats on every tray, so fish runs through the whole range.

A tail of powders follows, broccoli and beetroot down to ginger at 0.01%, each with a printed percentage, then apple cider vinegar and two inactivated cultures. Only the animal changes between trays; the Salmon is far richer, at 188 kcal per 100g against 126.
