Terra Canis Light: Game & Rabbit with Cucumber and Peach review

Name: Terra Canis Light: Game & Rabbit with Cucumber and Peach
Brand: Terra Canis

75.3/100Excellent

WetAdult

A game and rabbit tin built to fill a bowl without filling the dog, and it sits in our Excellent band. Water-rich vegetables and psyllium do the engineering, bringing energy down to 67 kcal per 100g against a typical 97. Protein still converts to 37.7% of dry matter, so this has been lightened, not watered down.

Our view

Likely to suit

A dog the vet has asked to lose a little
Big eaters. The same energy takes a noticeably larger serving
Dogs that have never met rabbit, named at 10%
Grain-avoiding households
Owners who want fibre in the bowl, with psyllium husks and pumpkin seed flour

Worth watching

Game as a category and an unnamed broth, so only the rabbit is pinned to an animal
Fat at 24.0% of dry matter: the lightness comes from water and portion size
A 15kg dog gets through a good deal of tin in a day, so keep a case in
