Pedigree Vitality+ Pouches review

Name: Pedigree Vitality+ Pouches
Brand: Pedigree

50.4/100Good

WetAdult

A fair everyday pouch that could tell you more about itself. Its labels give more structure than the brand's tins, printing real percentages inside the chunk. The analysis holds up, with protein converting to 42.4% of dry matter, and the range sits in our Good band.

Our view

Likely to suit

Medium and large adult dogs, the sizes the maker points these at
A fresh pouch each time and no half tin in the fridge
Dogs that like a chunk to chew
More water through the day: moisture is 83.5%
Rotating four recipes, beef and liver through to white fish

Worth watching

The named percentages describe the chunk, so against the whole pouch they come down proportionally
Cereals, vegetable protein extracts and an unnamed white fish mean none can anchor an elimination diet
Light pouches: a medium or large dog gets through a good stack each day

The score, in context

Pedigree Vitality+ Pouches 50.4

All one Good. Typical wet food: Excellent.

Nothing here is neglected and nothing is exceptional: the itemised chunk lifts it, and the unnamed cereals and protein extracts hold it where it is.
