Name: Tails.com Pate
Brand: Tails.com

44.3/100Average

WetAdult

Average on our scoring, and the reason is the label more than the bowl. Three of the four entries are written as categories, with only chicken at 4% pinned to a species. The analysis itself is meat-heavy and light on starch.

Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs that turn away from chunks. The tray is one smooth texture
Fussy eaters that do well on chicken, the one animal the label names
Dogs that need more water through their food, at 82.0% moisture
A little gentle rice, declared at 2% uncooked
Adults of every build, toy to giant

Worth watching

Most of the tray is meat and animal derivatives, any warm-blooded land animal in any proportion
Chicken and grain both present, so it cannot carry an elimination diet for either
No calorie figure on the label, so portions start from our estimate
