Sainsbury's Nature's Goodness Senior Terrine Multipack review

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

78.1/100Excellent

WetAdultSenior

The chicken terrine with some thought for later years, and an Excellent-band tray. Chicken is 60%, and glucosamine, chondroitin and L-carnitine are written into the recipe. Potato takes more of the tray than wet food usually allows.

Where to buy: coming soon

Our view

Likely to suit

Older dogs still eating well, protein held at 36.0% of dry matter
Joint ingredients inside dinner, not sprinkled on top
Later middle age, with L-carnitine printed at 25mg per kilo
Buying a week at a time, six trays to a pack
Dogs kept off grain. Potato, peas and carrot carry the starch

Worth watching

Small joint doses, glucosamine at 0.005%. Diagnosed joint disease stays on the vet's dose
Salmon oil at 0.3%, so not fish free
Carbohydrate estimated at 22.0% of dry matter against 15.8% for typical wet food

The score, in context

Sainsbury's Nature's Goodness Senior Terrine Multipack 78.1

All one Excellent. Typical wet food: Excellent.

The senior badge is not paid for with a weaker recipe: the meat share and printed figures do most of the lifting.

What's in it

Chicken60%As on the adult terrine. An older dog wants protein held up, and this holds it.
Potato20%From 5% dried potato. Honest starch, with its fresh equivalent printed.
Vegetables: peas and carrots10%From 1.9% dried.
MineralsCalcium converts to 2.0% of dry matter, generous for adult maintenance.
Rapeseed oil, salmon oil0.75%, 0.3%Both named. The salmon oil brings omega 3 and a second animal.
Dried tomato, kelp, chicory, basilchicory 0.056%
Plant and citrus extracts0.014%
Glucosamine HCL, chondroitin0.005%, 0.002%Printed, and modest. A nudge, not a course of treatment.

Vitamins A, D3 and E, zinc, iron and manganese, each with a figure, plus L-carnitine to help move fat towards energy.
