Optimum Pet Health Adult Cans review

Name: Optimum Pet Health Adult Cans
Brand: Optimum Pet Health

78.6/100Excellent

WetAdult

About as direct as wet food gets, and Excellent. Chicken makes up 62% of the can and is named outright. Dried Antarctic krill at 1% is the entry worth pausing on, bringing long-chain omega 3 a dog can use directly.

Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs that do well on chicken, the only land animal in the can
Owners who mistrust long lists
Adult dogs of any size, toy to giant
Low starch. Carbohydrate is an estimated 10.9% of dry matter against 15.8% typical
A delicate gut, with chicory as a prebiotic and a tyndallised Lactobacillus at the end

Worth watching

Krill and salmon oil, so it is not fish free
No vitamin or trace element panel, so there are no doses to check

The score, in context

All one Excellent. Typical wet food: Excellent.

A meat-led can that does well on our scoring, with only a missing vitamin panel to keep it quiet in one corner.

Against the range

One short wet recipe. Chicken at 62% is more or less the whole can, krill and a little salmon oil bring marine omega 3, and a herb garden follows at trace levels. There is no cereal, no unnamed meat and very little starch.
