Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs at their best on a meat-led bowl: 90% fresh meat on three cans, 85% fresh fish on the fourth
Owners who want every animal named and measured
Grain-avoiding homes. Tapioca and beet fibre are the only carriers
Smaller dogs and modest eaters, since the cans run at 145 to 154 kcal per 100g against a typical 97
Rotation feeders, with one construction and a different animal in each can

Worth watching

Pork at 30% in the chicken and turkey cans and 55% in the pork, so a pork-avoiding dog is left with the salmon
Trout oil in the shared blend puts a trace of fish in every can
No can keeps to one animal; even the fish recipe carries chicken liver
Rich going, with fat up to 41.3% of dry matter, for a dog that gains weight easily

Named ingredients

90% Fresh Meat (55% Fresh Chicken Meat, 30% Fresh Pork, Chicken Liver 5%), 4% Carrot, Tapioca, Beet Fibre, Orygoformula 2.6% (Products Resulting from Yeast Fermentation, S. Cerevisiae, Turmeric Longa, Olive Oil, Inulin, Chicory Pulp, Sage, Quinoa, Mint, Fennel, Yucca Mojave, Rosemary, Oregano, Thyme, Valerian, Cranberry Extract, Pomegranate Extract, Milk Thistle, Liquorice, Aloe Vera Without Aloin, Extract Artichoke, Prooil, Egg Membrane, Trout Oil 500 mg/kg).

Against the range

Energy: 154 kcal per 100g; Densest of the four; 145 at the low end.
Fat, dry matter: 37.5%; Leanest; up to 41.3% on the pork.
Carbohydrate, dry matter: An estimated 10.9%; Highest; the pork is 1.9%.

The leanest of the four, for a dog that needs watching on fat.

Three cans open with 90% fresh meat, split into a headline animal at 55%, a second at 30% and liver at 5%; the salmon can runs an 85% fish block instead. Behind that sit one vegetable or fruit at 4%, tapioca and beet fibre, so estimated carbohydrate stays between 1.9% and 10.9% of dry matter.

Every can closes on the same 2.6% Orygoformula blend of more than twenty botanicals, with trout oil at 500 mg/kg the only entry inside it given a figure. Protein converts to between 44.4% and 48.8% of dry matter and fat to between 37.5% and 41.3%.
