WetAdult

Flavour

One dependable beef recipe sent travelling, with the four scored labels in our Excellent band. The meat is broken into its cuts and the broth gets a percentage of its own. Starch stays small throughout.

Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs that like a rotation, four regional recipes on one steady base
Owners who want the animal share in print, beef at 50% and a second animal at 15%
Next to no starch, under the 15.8% typical of adult wet food on every label we can read
Big eaters and two dog households
Organ meat in the bowl, heart, liver, lung and tripe itemised on three labels

Worth watching

The India recipe is named for chicken but opens with beef
Jamaica publishes no ingredient list, and declares cassia gum
Beef heads four of the five labels, so check it first on an avoid list
Spatzle noodles put a cereal in the wild boar recipe

Dog fit

Listed for adults, and the original for seniors too. Read the list over the front of the tin: the regional name is the accent, the beef is the base.

The score, in context

Four of the five World Tour recipes print their ingredients in full and those four carry a score. The Jamaica recipe does not publish a list we can read, so it goes without a score. Guesswork is no basis for one. That is the only reason this range does not read as a single set.

Where the labels can be read, they read well. Beef is declared at 50% and broken into heart, meat, liver, lung and tripe, with a second named animal at 15% behind it. The broth is printed at between 27.8% and 29.6%, not hidden as water, and the carbohydrate estimate lands under the 15.8% typical of adult wet food on every one of them. That is a lot of label for a recipe of this construction to show.

What's in it

Beef: heart, meat, liver, lung, tripe50%The cuts itemised. Liver and tripe at this share are a strength, liver especially.
Broth27.8%
Salmon15%The only fish in the range.
Rice3%A cereal.
Peas3%
Minerals1%
Linseed oil0.2%Plant omega 3. Small, but doing a real job.

Vitamin E, biotin, zinc, manganese and iodine, each with a figure; this panel alone has no vitamin D3.

Named ingredients

Ingredients, 50% beef (heart, meat, liver, lung, tripe), 27.8% broth, 15% salmon, 3% rice, 3% peas, 1% minerals, 0.2% linseed oil.

Against the range

Second animal: Salmon, 15%; Lamb, chicken or wild boar elsewhere.
Grain: Rice, 3%; Noodles on the original, none on the rest.
Vitamin D3: Not on the panel; Printed on the other four.

The pick for a dog that does well on oily fish.

One German base under every published label: beef at 50%, and a second named animal at 15% that gives each recipe its accent. Broth is printed at between 27.8% and 29.6%, with a slight plant side at 3% or 4% an entry. Linseed oil closes each list at 0.2%.

What changes is the accent and the grain: rice in Spain and spatzle noodles on the original are the only cereals. The added panels do not line up, and the Jamaica recipe publishes no ingredient list at all.
