WetAdult

Flavour

A light, mild tin in jelly, sold as three single-meat cans, all in our Average band. Each names its meat at 4% inside a 32% animal block, and the label puts a figure on that block where many tins in this style do not.

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 prefer their meat set in jelly to a gravy bowl
Owners who want to buy chicken, turkey or beef separately
Adult dogs of any size; the table runs from the smallest dogs up to very large ones
A dog who drinks too little, with moisture at 81.5% of every tin
A dog that finds richer wet food heavy going

Worth watching

Only 4% of the 32% animal block is tied to the named species
Unnamed cereals, with carbohydrate at 37.9% of dry matter against 15.8% for the typical wet food
Various sugars with no source given

The score, in context

With Beef in Jelly 42.1
With Chicken in Jelly 42.1
With Turkey in Jelly 42.1

All three Average. Typical wet food: Excellent.

The analysis is fine for an everyday tin; the slim named meat share is what holds all three level and low, and that is a judgement about meat, not safety.

Against the range

Named meat: Beef 4%; Chicken or turkey 4% in the others.
Analysis: Same recipe; Identical across all three.

The one red meat in the trio, and an easy change of pace for a dog that has been on poultry.

One recipe in three tins. The animal block is declared at 32%, and 4% of it is tied to the named meat; the rest can be any warm-blooded land animal. Cereals, minerals and various sugars complete a four-entry list, none of them named further. Cassia gum sets the jelly, printed with a dose. Protein converts to 32.4% of dry matter and fat to 16.2%.
