Rocco Classic Pork: Pork with Beef & Lamb review

Name: Rocco Classic Pork: Pork with Beef & Lamb
Brand: Rocco

78.3/100Excellent

WetAdult

A meat-led tin in our Excellent band, built on pork at 50% with beef and lamb behind it. Pork is still uncommon enough in British bowls to be a new taste for a lot of dogs. The label names the offal part by part.

Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs meeting pork for the first time. It makes up half the tin
Owners who like the shares printed: pork, broth and each partner animal
Dogs that do without starch happily, with no grain, potato or pea
Dogs that find chicken hard work, as this tin leaves poultry out
Offal-minded owners, with heart, liver and lung named one by one

Worth watching

Three animals in the tin, so it cannot anchor an elimination diet
The broth's animal is not named
Linseed oil is the only added oil, so the omega 3 is a plant one

Pork at 50%, named as hearts, meat, liver and lung, with broth at 28.8% and beef and lamb at 10% each. Minerals at 1% and linseed oil at 0.2% close the list. There is no grain, potato or pea. The printed block runs the whole Rocco pork family together, so the flavour name and the 50% pork base are the cleanest reading.
