Flavour

Less common meats with a percentage printed against nearly every one, and all four recipes in our Excellent band. Duck at 51%, wild boar at 50% and turkey at 59% carry their share on the front. The beef with venison recipe is actually led by fresh chicken.

Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs that have run out of ordinary proteins: wild boar, venison and ostrich all appear
Owners who want the meat measured, with a percentage against every headline animal
Poultry-avoiding dogs, on the wild boar recipe with boar at 50% and lamb at 14%
Grain-avoiding homes, pea flour and a little fruit carrying what starch there is
Dogs that benefit from a firmer stool, with lignocellulose on three of the four

Worth watching

Fresh chicken at 33% leads the beef with venison, ahead of beef at 26% and venison at 4%
Salmon oil on three labels breaks a strict fish avoidance
Derivatives of vegetable origin on the 300g pair, the one category term in an itemised range
Calcium varies widely, from 0.91% of dry matter on the wild boar to 2.81% on the turkey

The score, in context

Turkey 75.2
Beef 74.2
Wild Boar 73.5
Wildways Adult Wet 72.9

All four Excellent. Typical wet food: Excellent.

Barely anything separates the four, so the choice is which meat suits your dog, and fibre from lignocellulose is what stops the range climbing further.

The meatiest and richest of the four, with its fibre left to whole food.

Every animal on every label is named and nearly every one is numbered, with protein converting to between 35.6% and 41.0% of dry matter. Pea flour is the one plant entry doing real work, as a binder and fibre source. The 400g pair add blackberries at 4%; the 300g pair use pumpkin, apple and a little kale.

Lignocellulose, a purified plant fibre, appears on three labels at 0.5% to 1%. The 300g pair also carry prebiotics, taurine at 800 mg and a derivatives of vegetable origin entry at 1.4%. Added panels differ from recipe to recipe, and declared calcium runs from 0.91% to 2.81% of dry matter.
