Nutriment Senior Gently Steamed review

Name: Nutriment Senior Gently Steamed
Brand: Nutriment

75.3/100Excellent

WetAdultSenior

Nutriment's steamed tray, rebuilt for an older dog. Three named species carry it, turkey at 31%, salmon at 19% and beef at 18% that is entirely heart, liver and kidney, with green lipped mussel, glucosamine and chondroitin added for the joints. It sits in our Excellent band.

Where to buy: coming soon

Live retailer links are coming soon. Once we have them from UK retailers, where to buy and the best price will appear here.

Our view

Likely to suit

Older dogs with some stiffness, given the mussel, glucosamine and chondroitin on the label
Owners who want each animal named and given a figure
A faded appetite. A soft tray at 76% moisture asks very little of the dog
One dinner for a younger and an older dog, since it is listed for both
Organ meat in a measured amount: 7% heart, 7% liver, 4% kidney

Worth watching

No dose printed for the glucosamine or chondroitin, so keep to any joint plan your vet has set
Salmon and salmon oil both appear, so a dog kept off fish should skip it

The score, in context

Nutriment Senior Gently Steamed 75.3

All one Excellent. Typical wet food: Excellent.

The placement comes from the meat share, the naming and the analysis; the joint ingredients are a welcome extra that the score does not lean on.

Salmon oil
Green lipped musselA whole ingredient, so it brings the rest of the shellfish with it. No dose.
Chicory0.01%Prebiotic.
Glucosamine, chondroitinNo amounts printed, so a useful addition and not a therapeutic dose.

Vitamins A, D3 and E with zinc, iron, copper, manganese, iodine and selenium, all given doses, and cassia gum to set the tray.

Salmon and salmon oil on the label, so this is not fish free.
