Pedigree Pouches in Jelly: Mixed Selection 80/40/12 x 100g review

Name: Pedigree Pouches in Jelly: Mixed Selection 80/40/12 x 100g
Brand: Pedigree

46.3/100Average

WetAdult

Flavour

An everyday jelly pouch where the chunk makes up a bigger share than usual, and both packs land in our Average band. The analysis flatters the list: protein converts to 50.0% of dry matter, yet much of the animal content goes unnamed and some of that protein began as a plant.

Where to buy: coming soon

Live retailer links are coming soon. Once we have them from UK retailers, where to buy and the best price will appear here.

Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs that come down firmly on the side of jelly
One meal from one pouch, 100g at a time
Holding a steady weight, at 77 kcal per 100g against 97 for typical adult wet food
Lighter on starch: estimated carbohydrate is 12.3% of dry matter
A dog who never quite drinks enough, with moisture at 83.0%

Worth watching

Most of the animal content listed only as meat and animal derivatives
Vegetable protein extracts high on the list
Pork liver in every recipe, so no pouch suits a dog kept off pork
Unnamed cereals, out of reach for a grain elimination plan

The details

Dog fit

Listed for adults of every size. The label asks 700 grams a day for a 10kg dog, so count the pouches before buying a box.

The score, in context

Chicken 3 x 100g 48.5
Mixed Selection 80/40/12 x 100g 46.3

All two Average. Typical wet food: Excellent.

The analysis is genuinely lean and low in starch; what holds both packs back is that neither says where most of its animal content comes from.

What's in it

Meat and animal derivativesMost of the animal content, unnamed.
Beef mix, chicken or poultry, in the chunk6% beef, 14% chicken or poultryThe poultry pouch does not say which bird.
Pork liver, in the chunk9%In all four recipes.
Fish and fish derivatives (fish pouch)whitefish 6%Species left open beyond whitefish.
Cereals
Vegetable protein extracts
Minerals
Dried beet pulp, yeast0.5% and 0.1%

The same dosed panel on every pack, with cassia gum at 2100 mg per kilo setting the jelly.

The poultry pouch does not name its bird, so a household avoiding one species has a pouch it cannot fully check.

Against the range

Recipes: Beef and liver, chicken, fish, poultry; Chicken only in the three pack.
Fish: Whitefish 6% in the fish pouch; None in the chicken pack.
Transparency: Good; Excellent on the chicken pack.

The pack that brings fish into the rotation, at the cost of one pouch you cannot fully pin down.

Every pouch sets a chunk, typically 48% of the pouch, in jelly. The chunk is built on meat and animal derivatives, with the named meat pinned down inside it and pork liver at 9% in every recipe. Cereals and vegetable protein extracts follow, both umbrella terms free to shift between batches.

Dried beet pulp at 0.5% and mannan-oligosaccharides at 0.1% are the named extras, and cassia gum at 2100 mg per kilo sets the jelly. The same analysis is printed on every pack.
