Our view

Likely to suit

Older dogs that need a lighter dinner, on the turkey with salmon
Unusual protein plans: wild boar and venison are both named
Owners who want percentages, with a printed share on every headline meat
Digestion that wants a little more fibre
Two-dog homes with one older dog. Every recipe is labelled for adults and seniors

Worth watching

The beef with venison is led by fresh chicken at 33%, with beef at 26% and venison at 4%
Salmon or salmon oil on all three labels, a point for any dog kept away from fish
Egg powder and derivatives of vegetable origin, both on the beef with venison only

The score, in context

Beef 75.9

Turkey 68.5

Three recipes across Excellent and Good. Typical wet food: Excellent.

Two recipes reach Excellent and the lean turkey with salmon sits a step behind, lean on purpose and still honestly built.

A short panel: vitamin D3, vitamin E and biotin only.

Named ingredients

Fresh Turkey (53%), Salmon (4%), Blackberries (4%), Pea Flour (3%), Lignocellulose (1%), Calcium Carbonate (0.3%), Dried Rosemary (0.01%).

Against the range

Fat, as fed: 3.5%; The leanest; 5.5% and 7.2% on the other two.
Energy: 80 kcal per 100g; 102 and 106 on the other two.
Carbohydrate, dry matter: 26.5%, estimated; 20.9% on the boar, 8.6% on the beef.

The obvious pick for an older dog that needs to slim down a bit.

Every animal is named and every headline meat carries a share. Protein converts to between 38.6% and 40.0% of dry matter across the three, so switching between them changes little. Lignocellulose at 1% is on all three, and so is fish, as salmon or salmon oil.

The two 400g recipes take blackberries and a little pea flour and calcium carbonate; the 300g beef with venison swaps to pumpkin, apple and kale and carries the longest list. The added panels differ from recipe to recipe.
