Flavour

Pedigree's 100g gravy pouches, sold as a single pack and three selection boxes, across our Average and Good bands. The pouches are light, soft and easy to portion. The added panel is dosed precisely while the food itself is described in legal categories, so a reaction cannot be traced back to an ingredient.

Our view

Likely to suit

Fussy eaters: a gravy pouch tempts a dog who turns away from a plain loaf
Dogs that need to stay light, at 75 kcal per 100g where typical adult wet food runs at 97
No waste. A pouch is opened and finished in one go
Dogs that drink too little, with moisture at 83.0%
A dog who likes change, since the boxes rotate four recipes on one build

Worth watching

Meat and animal derivatives plus vegetable protein extracts, so not all the protein is pinned to a named animal
Unnamed cereals that rule out a grain elimination plan
Carbohydrate at 24.0% of dry matter, well above the 15.8% typical for adult wet food

Meat and animal derivatives, in a chunk typically 42% of the pouch, including beef6%A legal category; only the beef inside it is named. The label prints it as Beet 6%.
Pork liver, in the chunk9.6%Nailed down, and useful for vitamin A, B12 and copper.
CerealsUnnamed, so no use for a grain elimination plan.
Vegetables: dried carrot and pea, sweet potato powder0.8% (equivalent to 4% fresh), 0.01%Honest labelling of a modest amount.
Vegetable protein extractsPlant protein of unstated origin, weaker for a dog than animal protein.
Dried beet pulp0.5%The one named fibre.
Minerals
Yeast (mannan-oligosaccharides)0.1%A real prebiotic, at a share that is a nod.
Apple powder0.01%There for the list more than the dog.

Against the range

Named meat: Beef 6% with pork liver; Up to 14% of one animal in the selections
Recipes: One; Four in each selection box
Protein and processing: Poor; Good on the farmers and mixed selections

A sensible way to find out whether your dog likes the gravy format before a box of forty.

Every pouch is built the same way. The chunk, typically 42% of the pouch, is meat and animal derivatives with pork liver at 9.6%. One or two animals are named inside it: 14% where a recipe names one meat, 6% or 7% where it names a mix. Unnamed cereals, vegetable protein extracts and gravy make up the rest.

All four packs share one analysis: protein at 41.2% of dry matter, fat at 22.4% and estimated carbohydrate at 24.0%, with moisture at 83.0%.
