Flavour

A wet range that reads like a Sunday kitchen: meat, stock, a few vegetables. Five of the seven sit in our Excellent band, with the country style beef and the slow cooked chicken and turkey a step up in Outstanding. The cuts are spelled out, so you can see the heart, liver and lung inside the 60%.

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

A dog kept off cereals. None of the seven recipes carries a grain
Owners who want the cuts named, from heart and liver to rumen and gizzard
Feeding a pup and an older dog at once, with a recipe for every stage
A dog that needs a less common animal: the Poacher's Pot brings game and pheasant
Large dogs, as an 800g size sits on the five main recipes
Fussy eaters, since the vegetables change while the build underneath stays the same

Worth watching

Salmon in the Poacher's Pot and herring in the Seaside Feast, for a fish avoiding dog
Game in the Poacher's Pot with no animal named
Linseed oil at 0.2% as the only omega 3 on the recipes without fish
No vitamin D3 on the Seaside Feast panel, where every other recipe prints it

The details

Dog fit

There is a recipe for puppies, adults and seniors. On the puppy recipe, the chart asks for the adult weight your pup is growing towards, not today's.

Seven recipes across Outstanding and Excellent. Typical wet food: Excellent.

All seven hold an already high line for wet food, and what separates them is a matter of degree you would never notice with the tin in your hand.

Named ingredients

60% chicken (hearts, meat, liver, neck, gizzard), 25.8% stock, 3% potatoes, 3% carrots, 3% pumpkin, 3% cranberries, 1% peas, 1% minerals, 0.1% linseed oil, 0.1% powdered eggshell

Against the range

Calcium source: Powdered eggshell 0.1%; Not on the adult recipes.
Linseed oil: 0.1%; 0.2% elsewhere.
Sizes: 400g only; An 800g size on the five main recipes.

The range's growth recipe, with the same 60% meat build as the adults.

Sixty per cent named meat is the pattern across almost the whole range, with the cuts printed in full, and stock declared at 25.8% as its own line on every label. The vegetables come at 3% or 1% an entry and change with the recipe. No recipe carries a cereal, and carbohydrate converts to between 12.5% and 20.5% of dry matter across the seven.

Two recipes bring fish in: herring leads the Seaside Feast and salmon sits in the Poacher's Pot. Everywhere else the only oil is linseed at 0.2%, and the added panel is short, with a figure on every line.
