Brand: Nulo

73.9/100Excellent

WetPuppyAdult

Flavour

Two smooth pates that pair a land animal with a fish, both genuinely meat led and both in our Excellent band. Protein converts to 47.5% and 50.0% of dry matter. The name on the front tells only part of the story, so read the list before choosing.

Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs that thrive on a high-protein bowl
Owners cutting starch right back. Carbohydrate is 2.5% and 2.6% of dry matter, where 15.8% is typical of adult wet food
Dogs of different ages in one home, both recipes being listed from puppy to old age
Fussy eaters: stir it through a dry meal or serve it on its own
Owners after marine omega 3 from salmon, halibut or tuna

Worth watching

Beef with Salmon is really beef and chicken, with the named salmon at 4%
Chicken flavour and fish in both, so neither can anchor a single-protein trial
Broth makes up a large share, worth holding in mind when comparing meat percentages between brands

All two Excellent. Typical wet food: Excellent.

Chicken with Halibut is a shade ahead of the Beef with Salmon, with nutritional balance reading Outstanding on both.

What's in it

Beef brothFirst on the list; it is what makes the pate spread.
Beef meat30%
Chicken meat, chicken broth26% (meat)The second animal, and nearly as much as the beef.
Salmon4%The smallest of the three animals gives the pack its name.
Pumpkin, pea flourPea flour binds the pate and brings a little plant protein.
Minerals, chicken flavourChicken flavour is the one entry that does not say exactly what it is.
Salmon oilOnly in this recipe.
Linseed, inulin, seaweed meal, parsleyPlant omega 3, a prebiotic fibre and iodine.

Vitamins A and E with doses printed, and copper, iodine, manganese, zinc and iron on a separate trace-element panel with a figure each.

Chicken at 26% makes this a beef and chicken recipe, so it will not suit a dog avoiding chicken.

Named ingredients

Beef broth, beef meat (30%), chicken meat (26%), chicken broth, salmon (4%), pumpkin, pea flour, minerals, chicken flavour, salmon oil, linseed, inulin, seaweed meal, parsley.

Against the range

Meat: Beef 30%, chicken 26%, salmon 4%; Chicken with Halibut is chicken at 59% with halibut and tuna.
Energy: 103 kcal per 100g; The other is lighter at 94.
Fat, dry matter: 35.0%; 31.6% on the Chicken with Halibut.
Salmon oil: Yes; None in the other recipe.

The richer of the two, for a dog that eats both beef and chicken.

Both recipes lead on named animals with percentages against the headline meats, and each carries a named broth that makes the pate spreadable. The plant side is slight: pumpkin and pea flour, then linseed, inulin, seaweed meal and parsley.

Chicken flavour and a fish sit in both. Moisture reads 80.0% and 81.0%, and carbohydrate converts to 2.5% and 2.6% of dry matter, about as low as a wet recipe goes.
