Our view

Likely to suit

Owners who want to read the whole recipe
Dogs that do best on one meat: chicken is the only one
Households keeping grain out
Dogs that struggle with chunks
Busy eaters, at 105 kcal per 100g, on the richer side for wet food
A prebiotic on the list, with inulin at 0.4%

Worth watching

Salmon oil at 1%, so the tin is not purely chicken
Fat at 33.3% of dry matter; measure the bowl for a dog inclined to gain weight
Yucca schidigera at 0.2%, there for stool odour
No calcium figure printed

The details

Dog fit

Listed for adults of every size. Chicken intolerance is more common than intolerance to rarer meats, so introduce it slowly to a dog that has reacted to poultry before.

The score, in context

Chicken Terrine 75.1

All one Excellent. Typical wet food: Excellent.

A supermarket recipe keeping company with the wider wet category, carried there by its naming: one meat at 60% and not a category term in sight.

What's in it

Chicken60%Named as chicken, not poultry or a meal. Highly digestible, and nearly every dog likes it.
Carrot4%Vitamin A and soluble fibre.
Potato4%Gives the terrine its body.
Peas2%
Salmon oil1%Long-chain omega 3 with a percentage of its own. Fish, for a dog that avoids it.
Minerals
Inulin0.4%Prebiotic fibre for steady stools.
Yucca schidigera0.2%Keeps stool smell down.

Vitamins D3 and E with zinc, copper, manganese and iodine, dosed line by line.

Ash converts to 11.9% of dry matter, but the label stops short of printing calcium.

Named ingredients

Chicken (60%), Carrot (4%), Potato (4%), Peas (2%), Salmon Oil (1%), Minerals, Inulin (0.4%), Yucca Schidigera (0.2%). Natural Ingredients

Against the range

One chicken terrine, every ingredient named and all but the minerals given a percentage. No grain, no unnamed meat and no added sugar; the vegetables are a small share and estimated carbohydrate is 5.8% of dry matter.
