Sainsbury's Complete Nutrition Sensitive Cans in Jelly review

Name: Sainsbury's Complete Nutrition Sensitive Cans in Jelly
Brand: Sainsbury's

43.1/100Average

WetAdult

A jellied tin for a dog whose stomach is easily upset, and the change that matters is that no cereal appears on the list. It sits in our Average band. The gap comes from what the label leaves unnamed: a 40% meat block, the plant material and the sugars.

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 whose digestion is unsettled by grain
A prebiotic in the recipe, with chicory root powder printed at 0.1%
Dogs that eat more willingly from a soft, jellied tin
A short list, five entries long

Worth watching

Only chicken is named, at 4%, so this tin cannot eliminate one specific protein
Salmon oil puts fish in the tin
Various sugars, with no amount, on a tin sold for delicate digestions

The score, in context

Sainsbury's Complete Nutrition Sensitive Cans in Jelly 43.1

All one Average. Typical wet food: Excellent.

The pillars are kinder than the headline, and the placing is a labelling verdict, not a health one.

What's in it

Meat and animal derivatives (including 4% chicken)40%Higher than the standard jellied tin. Chicken is the only animal named, and the meat most often behind an intolerance.
Derivatives of vegetable origin (chicory root powder 0.1%)0.1% chicoryChicory is a prebiotic at a level you can see. The rest of the entry is unnamed.
Minerals
Oils and fats (salmon oil 0.4%)0.4% salmon oilMarine fat, so not fish free.
Various sugarsFor palatability, as a category with no quantity.

Cassia gum at 2560 mg/kg sets the jelly; calcium sits in the additive block at 0.3%, with vitamins D3 and E and dosed trace minerals.

Sensitive has no legal meaning, so the label is what tells you what is in the tin.

Named ingredients

Meat and Animal Derivatives (40%, including 4% Chicken), Derivatives of Vegetable Origin (0.1% Chicory Root Powder), Minerals, Oils and Fats (0.4% Salmon Oil), Various Sugars

Against the range
