Wainwright's Light Adult Trays review

Name: Wainwright's Light Adult Trays
Brand: Wainwright's

70.8/100Excellent

WetAdult

A turkey tray whose lightness comes from the portion. Energy runs at an estimated 126 kcal per 100g and fat converts to 30.4% of dry matter, so the recipe itself is not thin. Turkey at 59% does most of the work, and it sits in our Excellent band.

Our view

Likely to suit

Owners trimming a dog who would like the smaller serving printed on the pack
Dogs that do well on turkey, a lean bird that suits most digestions
A gentle grain: brown rice at 6% is the only cereal
Medium and larger dogs, the sizes the tray is written for
One tray to buy, with no range to choose from

Worth watching

A fat level that is not low once the water is set aside
Brown rice, for a household keeping a dog off grain
No percentages on the alfalfa, pear or herbs

All one Excellent. Typical wet food: Excellent.
