Four steamed trays in our Excellent band, each one named animal at 68% with every organ meat listed and counted. Very few wet labels break the meat down this far. Beef, chicken, duck and lamb share one construction.

Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs that do well on offal, with each organ printed as a percentage
Rotating proteins. Only the animal changes between trays
Adult dogs from toy breeds to giants
Homes that keep cereal out of the bowl
A dog that drinks little, at 76% moisture

Worth watching

Salmon oil on all four, so none is fish free
No calories on the label; the energy figures here are our estimates
Cassia gum as the setting agent
A lot of organ meat, so switch gradually

The score, in context

Chicken 76.4

All four Excellent. Typical wet food: Excellent.

Too little separates the four to choose on score, and the typical adult wet food reaches the same band, so pick by the animal.

What's in it

Beef, including tripe, heart, liver and kidney68%Tripe 11%, heart 7%, liver and kidney 4% each, all inside the 68%. The widest organ spread in the range.
Pumpkin1%
Dried broccoli0.5% (4% fresh)
Dried apple0.5% (3% fresh)
Minerals
Salmon oilThe omega 3, and the reason no tray here is fish free.
Chicory0.01%A prebiotic.

Vitamins A, D3 and E and six trace elements, each with a printed dose down to the selenium, plus cassia gum to set the tray.

One land animal per tray, but salmon oil means fish is present. Bear that in mind on a protein trial.

Named ingredients

Beef 68% (Beef Tripe 11%, Beef Heart 7%, Beef Liver, 4%, Beef Kidney 4%), Pumpkin (1%), Dried Broccoli (0.5% equivalent to 4%), Dried Apple (0.5% Equivalent to 3%), Minerals, Salmon Oil, Chicory (0.01%)

Against the range

Organ meats: Tripe, heart, liver, kidney; Two to four organs on the others
Fat, dry matter: 29.2%; Same as lamb; up to 37.5% on the duck
Energy, our estimate: 108 kcal per 100g; Up to 118 on the duck

The only tray with kidney, and one of the two lighter ones on fat.

Every tray is one named animal at 68%, with its organ meats itemised and given percentages inside that figure. A small printed dressing of vegetable and fruit makes up the rest, and salmon oil, chicory at 0.01% and cassia gum appear on all four. Moisture is 76% throughout.

Protein converts to 37.5% of dry matter on every recipe. What varies is the animal, which organs come with it, and fat, from 29.2% to 37.5% of dry matter. Calories are not printed, so the energy figures are ours.
