22.2/100Poor

WetAdult

Flavour

Soft, semi-moist chunks in our Poor band, in a beef and a chicken version. Texture is what this food does well: 19% moisture and added sugars keep the pieces pliable without a tin or a fridge. The label talks in categories, with only 4% of meat named.

Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs that struggle to chew, older ones or those with a sore mouth
Pouring straight from the bag, with no tin to open and no fridge space needed
A dog that turns down kibble and leaves wet food half eaten
Homes that like a choice of meat from the same recipe
Adults of any size

Worth watching

Cereals lead both lists with no grain named
Various sugars third on the list, worth weighing for a dog that gains weight easily
Soft food does no scraping, so keep a brush or dental chew in the week
Most of the 20% animal fraction is unnamed and free to change

The score, in context

with Beef 22.2
with Chicken 22.2

All two Poor. Typical wet food: Excellent.

Both flavours sit together, as they should when only the named meat changes; the scoring finds little to reward in a category-written, cereal-led label.

What's in it

CerealsLeads the list with no grain named, so wheat and maize can be neither confirmed nor ruled out.
Meat and animal derivatives20%A category term. Only the 4% chicken inside it is named; the rest can follow whatever is available.
Chicken4%The one piece of the animal share you can count on from bag to bag.
Various sugarsHolds water in the piece so it stays soft, and adds quick energy.
Derivatives of vegetable origin
Oils and fats
Minerals

A precisely dosed panel: vitamins A, D and E, then zinc oxide, manganous sulphate, copper sulphate, calcium iodate and sodium selenite.

No calcium figure appears on the pack, so a dog on a mineral-watched plan needs it from Orlando.

Named ingredients

Cereals, 20% Meat and Animal Derivatives (Including 4% Chicken), Various Sugars, Derivatives of Vegetable Origin, Oils and Fats, Minerals.

Against the range

Named meat: Chicken, 4%; Beef, 4%, on the other bag.
Moisture: 19%; The same on the beef, word for word.

The easier sell to a picky eater, and the one to skip if chicken has caused trouble before.

The two bags are one recipe with a single word changed. Cereals lead, then meat and animal derivatives at 20% with 4% of beef or chicken named inside it, then various sugars, vegetable derivatives, oils and fats, and minerals. Moisture is declared at 19%, which keeps the chunks soft.

The analysis is the same on both: protein 22.2% of dry matter, fat 8.6% and an estimated carbohydrate of 54.4%, with ash at 11.7%.
