Pets at Home Complete Nutrition Mature Senior Wet: Beef in Jelly review

1. Beef in Jelly 38.2
2. Chicken in Jelly 38.2
3. Turkey in Jelly 38.2

All three Average. Typical wet food: Excellent.

The three tins score identically, and the label's lack of names costs them more than the analysis does.

• Meat and animal derivatives (including beef 4%)33%Beef is the 4% with a name. The rest can be any warm-blooded land animal.
• CerealsNo grain named. Wheat, maize, rice or barley could be in there, and they can rotate between batches.
• Minerals
• Various sugarsFor taste. The term covers anything from cane sugar to caramel, and it sits last on the list.

A short, fully dosed panel printed per kilo: vitamin D3 at 187 IU and vitamin E at 19 mg, with iron, iodine, manganese, zinc and copper. Cassia gum at 2800 mg sets the jelly.

Only 4% of the animal block carries a species name, so this tin cannot anchor an elimination diet.

Named meat

Beef, 4%

Chicken or turkey at 4% in the other two.

Rest of the label

Identical

Same recipe, same analysis in all three.

The only red meat of the three, and a useful change for an older dog who has eaten poultry all their life.

One recipe under three names. Each tin declares meat and animal derivatives at 33%, with 4% of it the named species: beef, chicken or turkey. Unnamed cereals, minerals and various sugars complete a four-entry list. The analysis is the same in all three, lean and protein rich, with protein at 44.4% and fat at 13.9% of dry matter, and estimated carbohydrate at 27.8%.
