Name: Purizon Adult Pouches: Lamb & Salmon
Brand: Purizon

78.6/100Excellent

WetAdultSenior

Flavour

Four pouches in our Excellent band, built on chicken fillet with organ meat and a second or third animal underneath. Protein converts to between 58.3% and 60.9% of dry matter. One catch: the Salmon pouch's printed list is a copy of another recipe's.

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 want the meat up front
Owners who add labels up, with a percentage on every entry
Homes avoiding grain. The only starch is a 3% spoonful
Older dogs still eating well, as seniors are listed too
Dogs that could drink more, with about three quarters of each pouch moisture
Rotating flavours on one recipe shape

Worth watching

Chicken in every pouch, whatever the name on the front
Salmon oil on all four labels
The Salmon pouch's printed list is the Black Angus and Turkey list repeated
One pouch size, so a small dog leaves part of one for the fridge

Against the range

Protein, dry matter: 60.9%, the highest; 58.3% to 59.2%
Energy: 105 kcal per 100g, the lightest; 108 to 112
Other animals: Lamb and salmon; Turkey, black angus, game or rabbit on the others

The highest protein of the four and the lightest pouch, so daily portions run largest.

Every pouch opens with chicken fillet at 45% and broth at 28.8%, then 10% organ meat and fat, two further 5% animal entries, a 3% starch and a 2% fruit. Minerals at 1% and salmon oil at 0.2% close each list, and every entry carries a percentage.

Plant matter is a garnish, so estimated carbohydrate runs from 5.9% to 8.3% of dry matter. The organ meats and second animals change from pouch to pouch. The added panel is printed on only two of the four labels.
