Sainsbury's Nature's Goodness Senior Terrine review

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

64.7/100Good

WetAdultSenior

Salmon at 60% with every other animal kept off the label, plus glucosamine, chondroitin and L-carnitine for an older dog. It is the richest tray in Sainsbury's wet line-up and the only one built on fish. It finishes in our Good band.

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

Older dogs off poultry and red meat
Reluctant finishers, with fat at 40.0% of dry matter
Omega 3 from the fish itself, with salmon oil on top
Stiffening joints, with no supplement needed on top for upkeep
Grain-free homes. The starch is potatoes, carrots and peas

Worth watching

128 kcal per 100g, the brand's densest wet tray, so weigh it for a heavier dog
A vegetable split that is the maker's to move
Small joint doses. A dog being treated for joint disease keeps its vet's plan

The score, in context

Sainsbury's Nature's Goodness Senior Terrine 64.7

All one Good. Typical wet food: Excellent.

A fair result for a supermarket tray built on one named fish; the rich fat share that tempts a picky eater is also what holds it back.
