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.

What's in it

Chicken fillet45%Proper muscle meat, and the substance of every tin.
Broth28.8%Declared as broth, not hidden as water.

Vitamin E with zinc, copper, manganese and iodine, all printed with doses.

The list printed for this tin repeats the Black Angus Beef & Turkey list word for word, so the salmon share is not declared.

Named ingredients

45% Chicken Fillet, 28.8% Broth, 10% Turkey Liver and Gizzards, 5% Black Angus Lung and Heart, 5% Chicken Fat, 3% Sweet Potato, 2% Cranberry, 1% Minerals, 0.2% Salmon Oil.

Against the range

Ingredients: Same printed list as the Black Angus; Each other tin has its own.
Energy: 108 kcal per 100g; A shade lighter than the beef and the game.
Ash, dry matter: 10.0%; 8.3% to 9.1% on the others.

The analysis is as strong as its sisters', but the label does not say how much salmon is in it.

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.
