Flavour

Three wet recipes in our Excellent band, each naming its meat and printing a figure beside it. Hearty Hog Roast is all pork; the other two pair a bird with a second animal. Vegetables, a named grain and a scattering of herbs fill in behind.

Against the range

Animals on the label: Turkey and chicken; Pork alone, or turkey with pork.
Energy: 112 kcal per 100g; The richest of the three; Turkey Dinner is 81.
Carbohydrate, dry matter: 15.4%; The starchiest here; Turkey Dinner 2.7%.

The richest tin in the range, though a dog avoiding chicken belongs on Hearty Hog Roast.

Freshly prepared meat opens every list with its own percentage: about 60% of each tin is animal, from one or two named species. Peas, green beans or courgette take the vegetable slot, and barley, quinoa or spelt carry the grain, so nothing in the range is grain free.

Every recipe ends the same way: flaxseed or linseed, chicory root for prebiotic FOS, dried blueberry and a 0.2% herb and botanical blend at trace level. The added panels differ: the two 390g recipes share one, while Turkey Dinner names three minerals and no vitamins.
