Terra Canis

Terra Canis Intestinal Diet: Chicken review

We don't put a score on this food. It is a veterinary diet, formulated for a diagnosed condition and meant to be fed on a vet's advice. Your vet has seen your dog and we have not, so a number from us could only pull you towards their advice or away from it, and neither of those is ours to do. What follows is what the label declares, what the analysis works out at, and where to buy it, with no judgement attached to any of it.

Terra Canis sells this one within its Diet range as Intestinal, a chicken tin the maker presents for dogs whose digestion is being settled at a vet's direction.

WetAdult

Terra Canis Intestinal is a chicken tin from the maker's Diet range, presented for dogs whose digestion is being settled at a vet's direction. We do not put a score on it. Chicken is the only animal protein, and cellulose at 3% with psyllium husks and linseed sets up the fibre side.

Our view

Likely to suit

Adult dogs whose vet has recommended a gut diet
A single animal protein: chicken muscle meat and stomach, nothing else
Both kinds of fibre on one label, cellulose for bulk and psyllium for the soluble sort
MCT oil, the medium chain fat used in feeding for a gut that is recovering

Worth watching

The probiotic is named by brand, so neither strains nor counts are on the tin
At 76 kcal per 100g the bowls are big; the portion is the vet's call
