WetAdultSenior

Flavour

Four tins on one foundation, all in our Excellent band, and the protein figures are exceptional for food from a can. Chicken fillet and broth make up most of every tin, with liver and organ meat weighed in at 10%. The names on the front are the accents: chicken is the meal.

Named ingredients

45% Chicken Fillet, 28.8% Broth, 10% Chicken Liver and Fat, 5% Comprising Lamb Lung and Hearts, 5% Salmon, 3% Potatoes, 2% Pears, 1% Minerals, 0.2% Salmon Oil

Against the range

Accent: Lamb lung and hearts 5%, salmon 5%; Beef, or game and rabbit, elsewhere.
Energy: 105 kcal per 100g; Lightest of the four.
Protein, dry matter: 60.9%; Highest in the range.

The lightest and most protein-dense tin, so its daily portion is the largest.

All four tins share one engine: chicken fillet at 45%, broth at 28.8%, 10% liver and other organ meat, then 5% of the animal named on the front. One 3% vegetable is the only starch, and salmon oil at 0.2% closes every list.

That build gives protein of 58.3% to 60.9% of dry matter and estimated carbohydrate of 5.9% to 8.3%, against 15.8% for a typical adult wet food. The tin names describe the accents; chicken is the bulk.
