45.8/100Average

WetAdultSenior

A soft single recipe tray for older dogs, and it lands in our Average band. That is a comment on how little the label names, not on the dinner itself, which has a perfectly ordinary analysis. What makes it senior is the lighter fat and the paté texture.

Our view

Likely to suit

Older dogs who find chunks and jelly hard work
A slightly portly dog, with fat at 4.5% and 89 kcal per 100g
A prebiotic on the list, with inulin declared at 0.1%
Dogs that need more water through the day, as moisture is 81.0%
Feeding an adult and a senior from the same tray

Worth watching

Only the 5% chicken pinned to a species; the rest sits under meat and animal derivatives
Nothing on the label for joints, so an older dog on a joint supplement should stay on it
No calcium declared
