Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs that prefer chunks in jelly or gravy to a solid loaf
Homes feeding adult, puppy and senior dogs from one format
Careful portioning, with every pouch 100g
Lower starch on the jelly mix, the one label with no cereals
Rotating meats across beef, chicken and lamb
Dogs that need moisture in dinner

Worth watching

Meat and animal derivatives on every list, so no pouch anchors an elimination diet
Unnamed cereals and various sugars on most labels
Fish and fish derivatives in the puppy pouch
Carbohydrate at an estimated 34.9% of dry matter on the single-meat pouches

The details

Dog fit

Adult, puppy and senior boxes, for any size. A 15kg dog eats more than ten pouches a day on the adult label, so most owners will be feeding smaller dogs or mixing with a dry food.

All six Average. Typical wet food: Excellent.

The six sit close together, with the jelly mix on top and the senior box at the foot, so the pouch you reach for is a question of flavour.
