Flavour

Winalot's long-standing jelly tin, in single flavours that both land in our Average band. The recipe asks you to trust it more than read it: the flavour animal is declared at 4% and the rest sits inside meat and animal derivatives. For a steady adult with a moderate appetite it does a familiar job.

Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs that like dinner set in jelly
Bigger dogs. A 400g tin covers a real appetite
Dogs who drink less than they should: moisture is declared at 81.5%
Owners who want the same tin stocked almost everywhere

Worth watching

The named animal is 4%, so neither tin supports an elimination diet
Unnamed cereals and vegetable protein push carbohydrate to an estimated 32.0% of dry matter, against 15.8% for typical adult wet food
Various sugars on both labels
