Sainsbury's Nature's Goodness Puppy Terrine review

Name: Sainsbury's Nature's Goodness Puppy Terrine
Brand: Sainsbury's

77.5/100Excellent

WetPuppy

An own-label puppy terrine that names everything, chicken at 60% first and citrus extracts at 0.004% last. Protein converts to 40.0% of dry matter. It sits in our Excellent band, and the label is one you can follow line by line.

Our view

Likely to suit

Puppies that do well on chicken, the only meat named, at 60%
Owners who want every ingredient itemised
A growing pup that needs energy in a modest volume: 123 kcal per 100g against a typical 106
Households keeping grain out of the bowl, with potato and a pea and carrot blend on the plant side

Worth watching

Salmon oil and unnamed dried poultry plasma, so the chicken headline cannot anchor a strict exclusion diet
No calcium in the analysis, only 0.8% as fed in the additive panel

The score, in context

Sainsbury's Nature's Goodness Puppy Terrine 77.5

All one Excellent. Typical wet food: Excellent.

Excellent with the strength spread across the label, from a named meat at the top to a tail itemised in fractions of a percent.

Rapeseed oil0.75%Plant omega 3 and 6.
Salmon oil0.3%Long-chain marine omegas for brain and coat, and fish in the allergen picture.
Dried tomato, dried kelpKelp brings iodine.
Chicory, dried basil0.056%
Plant, citrus extracts0.004%
