Wainwright's Adult Trays With Superfoods: Organic Chicken with Superfoods review

Name: Wainwright's Adult Trays With Superfoods: Organic Chicken with Superfoods
Brand: Wainwright's

68.1/100Good

WetAdult

Flavour

Two organic trays, beef and chicken, on one of the shortest labels on the wet shelf, and both in our Good band. Sixty per cent named meat, and almost nothing starchy behind it. The thin end of the label, with no vitamins declared, is what holds them back.

Where to buy: coming soon

Live retailer links are coming soon. Once we have them from UK retailers, where to buy and the best price will appear here.

Our view

Likely to suit

Owners who want to read every word, with six entries on each tray
A dog held to one meat. Each tray names one animal
Organic households: every food ingredient is organic
Dogs that do better with almost no starch
Dogs shy of the water bowl, at 82% moisture

Worth watching

Trace elements only on the additive panel, with no added vitamins
Light energy, so daily portions run large and a mid-sized dog opens several 150g trays
No percentages on the sesame oil, chamomile or minerals

The details

Dog fit

Listed for adults from toy to giant. The label's guide for a 12kg to 25kg dog is 600 to 1050 grams a day, so count trays before ordering.

The score, in context

Organic Chicken 68.1
Organic Beef 68.0

All two Good. Typical wet food: Excellent.

The two finish together a step under the middle of the wet shelf, so taste should choose between them.

What's in it

Freshly prepared organic chicken60%The only meat in the tray.
Organic pumpkin2%
Organic beetroot2%No cereal, potato or pulse anywhere.
Organic sesame oilThe added fat, a pressed seed oil named for what it is.

Against the range

Fat, dry matter: 30.6%; 25.0% on the beef
Carbohydrate, dry matter: 2.7%; 8.3% on the beef
Energy: 82 kcal per 100g, estimated; 77 on the beef

About as close to a plain meat and vegetable tray as this range gets.

Both trays share one six-entry list: freshly prepared organic meat at 60%, organic pumpkin and beetroot at 2% each, organic sesame oil, organic chamomile and minerals. Protein converts to 52.8% of dry matter on each.

Only the meat changes, and with it the fat and starch: the beef is leaner, the chicken richer and lower in carbohydrate. Additives are three chelated trace elements, with no vitamins declared.
