Rocco Classic Trio di Carne: Beef with Chicken & Veal review

Name: Rocco Classic Trio di Carne: Beef with Chicken & Veal
Brand: Rocco

76.3/100Excellent

WetAdult

Flavour

Three animals in every tin, beef leading at 40%, and an unusually short label behind them. Around seven tenths of each tin is animal, the offal is itemised part by part, and the only other entry is minerals. All three sit in our Excellent band.

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 bored of a single meat
Owners who want the offal spelled out: heart, liver, lung, tripe and gizzards
No carbohydrate ingredients at all, not even a pea
Mixed households, since only the animals change from tin to tin
Older dogs eating less, as the soft tin takes no chewing

Worth watching

Poultry and game name no species, and neither does the meat stock
No added oil, so the fat is whatever comes with the animals
Copper and iodine missing from the added panel

The details

Dog fit

Listed for adult dogs. A 15kg adult in moderate condition works out at roughly 694 to 700 grams a day, so a bigger dog gets through an 800g tin quickly.

What's in it

Beef: heart, meat, liver, lung, tripe40%Muscle and organ together. Tripe is the part fussy dogs are famously keen on.
Meat stock29%The liquid. No species behind it.
Chicken: heart, meat, liver, gizzards, neck15%Named down to the parts.
Veal: tripe, heart, lung15%Veal is young beef, so a beef-sensitive dog meets it twice.
Minerals1%

Vitamin D3, vitamin E, zinc, manganese and biotin at 300mcg; no copper or iodine in the panel, which is short for a food fed on its own.

Every animal in this tin is named, but beef appears twice counting the veal.
