Flavour

The soft, sliceable 400g tin most British owners would recognise, and both entries land in our Average band. The placing comes from how little named meat reaches the list. Nothing inside the tin is a worry.

Our view

Likely to suit

A soft loaf for an older mouth or a dog missing teeth
Owners who want the tins to come home with the weekly shop
Dogs carrying a bit too much, at 87 kcal per 100g against 97 for the typical adult wet food
A printed guide for every size, from 350 grams a day at 5kg to 1900 grams at 40kg
Dogs that need more water in them, with moisture at 81.0%

Worth watching

Meat and animal derivatives can cover any warm-blooded land animal, so no tin here can anchor an elimination diet
Unnamed cereals, which can change while the wording stays put
Only the small inclusions carry percentages, such as beef at 2% and pork liver at 4%
Ash at 11.1% of dry matter, with minerals listed as an ingredient

The score, in context

Mixed Selection 12 x 400g 44.3
Pedigree in Loaf Tins 44.0

All two Average. Typical wet food: Excellent.

Our bands reward named meat, and this tin points to very little of it; that is a description of the label, not a safety verdict.

What's in it

Meat and animal derivativesAny warm-blooded land animal, in any proportion.
Chicken, or lamb, or beef (within the above)4% or 2%Chicken at 4% in one tin, lamb or beef at 2% in the others.
Pork liver (within the above)4%In all three recipes.
CerealsUnnamed.
Minerals
Derivatives of vegetable origin, incl. dried beet pulp0.5%

A properly dosed panel: vitamin D3 and E with copper, iodine, iron, manganese and zinc as sulphates or iodate.

The case rotates chicken, lamb and beef, so an avoidance list has to clear all three, plus pork.

Named ingredients

With Chicken: Meat and Animal Derivatives* (including Chicken 4% and Pork Liver 4%), Cereals, Minerals, Derivatives of Vegetable Origin (including Dried Beet Pulp 0.5%), With Lamb and Liver Mix: Meat and Animal Derivatives* (including a Mix of Lamb 2% and Pork Liver 4%), Cereals, Minerals, Derivatives of Vegetable Origin (including Dried Beet Pulp 0.5%), Original: Meat and Animal Derivatives* (including a Mix of Beef 2% and Pork Liver 4%), Cereals, Minerals, Derivatives of Vegetable Origin (including Dried Beet Pulp 0.5%), *95% Natural

Against the range

Recipes: Chicken, lamb and liver, original; The original alone in the single tin
Largest named animal: Chicken, 4%; Beef at 2% in the original

The rotation gives a bored eater something to look forward to across the week.

Category terms make up nearly the whole list: meat and animal derivatives first, then cereals, minerals and derivatives of vegetable origin. The named meats are small inclusions inside the first block, and dried beet pulp at 0.5% is the only named plant. The analysis and additive panel are identical across the original tin and the mixed case.
