Wilko Meaty Feasts in Jelly Adult review

Name: Wilko Meaty Feasts in Jelly Adult
Brand: Wilko

44.7/100Average

WetAdult

An everyday jelly food that lands in Average because the label says so little: 4% of each recipe is a named meat, and the rest is written in the trade's broadest terms. The analysis is a fair balance for an adult dog. Enormous numbers of dogs eat food built this way and are perfectly well on it.

Worth watching

Only 4% tied to a species, so no use for an elimination diet

The score, in context

Wilko Meaty Feasts in Jelly Adult 44.7

All one Average. Typical wet food: Excellent.

The analysis reads better than the list; with only 4% named, there is very little openness for a score to reward.

What's in it

Meat and animal derivatives, incl. chicken, turkey, beef or poultry4%A legal category. Only the named 4% is fixed, and it is the whole difference between flavours.
CerealsAny grain can sit behind the word, and they carry more of this dinner than in most wet food.
Minerals
Various sugarsThere for taste. Nutritionally it does nothing.
Oils and fats, incl. fish oil0.15%The fish oil is the useful part; the rest of the fat is unnamed.
Derivatives of vegetable origin, incl. inulin0.05%A prebiotic fibre.

Vitamin D3 and small doses of zinc, manganese, copper and iodine per kilo, with vitamin A on the chicken, turkey and poultry recipes only.

The poultry version names no bird; poultry covers chicken, turkey and duck alike.
