Flavour

A senior wet food in two formats, a jelly pouch selection and a case of loaf tins. Both are soft, moist, moderate meals an older dog will eat happily, with pork liver the most useful thing on either list. Both land in our Average band, the pouches nearer the top of it.

Our view

Likely to suit

Older dogs that find hard food heavy work
A faded appetite, with four pouch recipes and three tins to rotate
Keeping a senior at a level weight, at 80 and 86 kcal per 100g
Dogs drinking less with age, as both formats are mostly moisture
Two dogs of different ages, since both formats list adults too

Worth watching

Meat and animal derivatives leads both labels
Unnamed cereals, so no grain elimination plan
Pork liver in every recipe
Cassia gum and unnamed oils and fats in the pouches
