81.1/100Outstanding

WetAdult

Flavour

A working brand's wet dinner, with a named meat at 60%, three root vegetables, dried egg, seaweed and nothing more. Chicken and lamb sit in our Outstanding band and the salmon one step below in Excellent. Dried egg is the ingredient that sets it apart from most of the wet shelf.

Our view

Likely to suit

Active and working dogs, the audience the name is aimed at
Owners after a short list, six ingredients on the chicken and lamb
Dogs that get on with one meat, as the chicken and lamb each name a single animal beside the egg
Fish-loving dogs, with the salmon carton at 42% salmon
Wet alongside dry, a carton dividing neatly across a day
Dogs kept off cereal

Worth watching

Dried egg in all three, so not for a dog avoiding egg
White fish with no species named beside the salmon
Fibre on the chicken printed at 3.0%, double the other two

The score, in context

Chicken 81.1

Salmon 78.3

Three recipes across Outstanding and Excellent. Typical wet food: Excellent.

The three land close together, so the choice is which meat suits your dog; chicken and lamb edge ahead of the salmon.

Against the range

Energy: 124 kcal per 100g; The densest; 122 on the lamb, 103 on the salmon.
Crude fibre: 3.0%; 1.5% on the other two.
Fat, dry matter: 28.6%; Same as the lamb, 19.2% on the salmon.

The top of the range on our scoring, and the most filling carton.

Every carton is built the same way: a named meat at 60%, carrot and potato at 3.5% each, parsnip at 3%, dried egg and dried seaweed, and nothing else. On the fish recipe the 60% is salmon and white fish together. There is no cereal and no category term for the meat, and the added panel is fully dosed on all three.
