73.7/100Excellent

WetAdult

Flavour

The brand's everyday wet range, built one way throughout, and all three recipes land in our Excellent band. The animal share is printed at 60% and broken into named organs and muscle. The three are closer together in the bowl than their names suggest.

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 thrive on organ-rich food: heart, liver, lung and tripe in every recipe
Owners who want the animal share printed, at 60% across the range
Rotation feeding, since only the meat changes
Very little starch, with the plant side stopping at carrots, rice and peas
Dogs of any build, toy to giant

Worth watching

Rice in all three, so none is grain free
Poultry names no bird, and the stock names no animal
Only the tray declares its energy; the two tin figures are our estimates

Against the range

Carbohydrate, dry matter: 23.6%; 14.0% and 14.4% on the tins, against 15.8% typical.

The leanest of the three, though not for a dog that reacts to one particular bird.

Every recipe opens at 60% animal content, itemised part by part: heart, meat, liver, lung and tripe, with gizzards and neck on the poultry. Stock follows at 27.8%, then 4% carrots, 4% rice and 3% peas, 1% minerals and 0.2% linseed oil. Only the animals change across the three.
