Flavour

Five short wet recipes, all in our Excellent band, that print the meat share on every pack and keep the rest to a few vegetables. None of the lists runs past nine entries. The fish pack is the one to read closely.

Likely to suit

Owners who like to read a recipe in one breath
Dogs off grain. The only starch is potato and peas
One-animal diets, via Chicken & Pumpkin: chicken and nothing else
Houses with a puppy and an older dog, as four packs are labelled for every life stage
A dog with weight to lose, given White Fish & Potato at 2.0% fat

Worth watching

The fish pack never names its species, so a strict avoidance list cannot be checked against it
White Fish & Potato is for adults only, and at 69 kcal per 100g its portions run larger
One 375g size for every build, so a toy dog leaves an opened pack in the fridge

All five Excellent. Typical wet food: Excellent.

No flavour here rides on another's coat tails; White Fish & Potato is the one that gives a little back, on its starch and its unnamed fish.

What's in it

Named ingredients

Fresh Turkey (31.5 %), Fresh Chicken (31.5 %), Potato (3.3 %), Carrots (3.3 %), Broccoli (0.67 %), Blueberry (0.5 %), Apple (0.5 %), Yucca Extract (0.07 %), Chicory Root Extract (as a source of prebiotic FOS, 0.06 %).

Against the range

Meat: Turkey and chicken, 31.5% each; Other packs lead with one meat.
Carbohydrate, dry matter: 14.0%; Second lowest; only the turkey and duck is lower.
Protein, dry matter: 36.0%; 34.6% to 43.5% across the range.

A two-bird pack with the most going on below the 1% mark.

Fresh meat leads every pack with its share in brackets, from 60% to 64%, and protein converts to between 34.6% and 43.5% of dry matter. The plant side is thin: carrots, peas, potato, broccoli or pumpkin at single figures, and no cereal on any label.

Chicory root extract closes every list as a source of FOS, and yucca extract sits beside it on the four meat packs. There is no added nutritional panel on any of the five. The fish pack is the outlier, lighter, leaner and starchier than the rest.
