Primal Spirit Iberian Complete Wet Canned Wild Forest review

Name: Primal Spirit Iberian Complete Wet Canned Wild Forest
Brand: Primal Spirit

74.4/100Excellent

WetAdult

Fresh pork at 60% against fresh turkey at 21% puts four fifths of the can down to animal before anything else arrives. What follows is briefer than a careful buyer would like: cereals and soy protein, with no grain named. The can finishes in our Excellent band.

Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs ready for a change of animal. Pork leads, and most British dogs have never tasted it
Owners who want each animal weighed separately
Turkey lovers, with the second meat named at 21%
Adult dogs of any size, from toy to giant
Owners who want the vitamins and trace elements printed with doses

Worth watching

Cereals is all the label says about its grain, so a wheat-free plan cannot rely on it
Soy protein behind the meat adds plant protein to the total
Two animals in the can, which rules out a single animal trial

The score, in context

Primal Spirit Iberian Complete Wet Canned Wild Forest 74.4

All one Excellent. Typical wet food: Excellent.

The named, weighed meat carries this can, and the short unspecific tail of cereals and soy protein is what holds it back.

Spices, yucca extract

Vitamins A, D3 and E dosed per kilo, with manganese, iron, copper, zinc and iodine, and tocopherol extracts keeping the fats fresh.

Cereals unnamed: not one for a dog that must stay off grain or wheat.
