Our view

Likely to suit

Beef-loving dogs, whatever the second animal turns out to be
Owners who want the offal named: heart, liver, lung and rumen
Dogs that do best without cereal or other starch
A short list of animals, on the Pure Beef tray
Anyone who would sooner peel a tray than open and store a tin

Worth watching

Stock at 28.8% with no animal named, so even the Pure Beef is not airtight for a strict elimination diet
The printed list covers the whole Rocco Classic family, so read the entry for the flavour you are buying
Linseed oil at 0.2% is the only added oil, and its omega 3 is the plant kind

Against the range

Meat: Beef 40%, lamb 30%; Beef 50% with salmon 20%; beef alone at 70%.
Protein, dry matter: 44.8%; The highest of the three.
Fat, dry matter: 26.4%; 26.0% to 27.6% across the range.

The most protein of the three, and lamb rumen for a dog that loves tripe.

Beef and its offal lead all three, printed as heart, liver, meat, lung and, on the Pure Beef, rumen. Where a second animal joins it gets its own figure. Stock at 28.8%, minerals and a little linseed oil complete every list, and nothing starchy appears on any of them.

Protein converts to 43.6% to 44.8% of dry matter and fat to 26.0% to 27.6%. The carbohydrate estimate of 18.8% to 20.8% is slack in the by-difference sum, with no starch ingredient to produce it.
