Flavour

The lighter, brothier side of Nulo's wet line, and both recipes land in our Excellent band. Fat sits at 3.0% as fed, so these are gentle pots with generous servings. The fish is named and numbered in each.

Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs kept on a lower fat diet, at 16.7% of dry matter
Owners who want protein leading the analysis: 55.6% of dry matter
Dogs that like a full bowl for the calories
A house with puppies and older dogs, as the stew is listed from puppyhood to old age
Eaters who prefer pieces they can see to a smooth pate

Worth watching

Salmon oil in both, so the mackerel pot still brings salmon
Quinoa is a seed, which is how the grain-free reading holds. A home excluding anything grain-like will want to know
At 82.0% moisture a bigger appetite works through the 170g pots quickly

All two Excellent. Typical wet food: Excellent.

The two finish level because they share one analysis, and protein at 55.6% of dry matter does most of the work.

What's in it

Chicken meat53%Leads the list.
Chicken broth
Pumpkin
Mackerel, mackerel broth4%An oily fish many dogs take to at once.
Sweet potato
Coconut oil, salmon oilAll the fat there is. The salmon oil brings marine omega 3.
Quinoa, green beans, carrots, pea starchpea starch 0.5%Quinoa comes from a seed, with a complete set of amino acids, but is still mainly carbohydrate.
Minerals
Inulin, seaweed meal, dried parsley, linseedPrebiotic fibre, iodine and plant omega 3, all at the tail.

Vitamins A and E with printed doses, and copper, iodine, manganese, zinc and iron each given a figure in a separate panel.

Salmon oil is on this label too, so the pot is not salmon free.

Named ingredients

Chicken meat (53%), chicken broth, pumpkin, mackerel (4%), mackerel broth, sweet potato, coconut oil, minerals, quinoa, green beans, carrots, pea starch (0.5%), salmon oil, inulin, seaweed meal, dried parsley, linseed.

Against the range

Fish: Mackerel, 4%, with mackerel broth; Salmon at the same share in the other pot
Everything else: Chicken 53% down to pea starch; Identical

Pick this one for a dog that likes a stronger, oilier fish.

Both pots open on chicken meat at 53% and chicken broth, then a named fish at 4% on a broth of its own: mackerel in one, salmon in the other. Pumpkin, sweet potato, green beans, carrots and quinoa give the stew its body, with pea starch at 0.5% holding it together.

Fat is low at 3.0% as fed, from coconut oil and salmon oil, which is why the pots read 77 kcal per 100g. The analysis is identical across the two; only the fish changes.
