74.8/100Excellent

WetAdultSenior

Flavour

Five tins, almost austere: 66% of one named animal, its stock, berries, minerals and a scatter of wild herbs, and that is the whole recipe. Goat, fish, wild boar, pork and chicken make up the set. Four sit in our Excellent band and the wild boar a step up in Outstanding.

Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs kept to one animal. Four of the five name a single species with nothing unnamed
A flat 66% animal share printed on every tin
An unfamiliar protein: goat and wild boar rarely reach a British shelf
Older dogs still on adult food, with four tins labelled for seniors too
Grain-free homes, as no tin carries cereal or starch

Worth watching

Blue River pairs salmon and herring, the one tin with two animals
A short added panel, so the tins lean on the meat for the rest
Energy varies by tin. Check the guide again when you switch

The one tin built on two animals, salmon and herring.

Named ingredients

66% fish (salmon, herring), 28.8% stock, 4% wild berries (blueberries, raspberries), 1% minerals, 0.2 % wild herbs (dandelion root, nettle, ribwort, common yarrow)

Against the range

Animals: Salmon and herring; One animal in each of the other four
Energy: 125 kcal per 100g; The densest; Wide Acres is 92
Protein, dry matter: 35.2%; Lowest in the range
Carbohydrate, dry matter: 27.0%; Highest estimate, though there is no starch in the tin

The fish tin and the most energy per spoonful, so the smallest portions.

The recipe is the same in every tin and runs to four lines: one named animal at 66%, its stock at 28.8%, berries at 4% and minerals at 1%, then wild herbs at 0.2%. No starch, oil, gum or flavouring. The animal is declared part by part, leaning on heart, liver and lung as much as muscle.

Across the five, protein converts to 35.2% to 51.0% of dry matter and fat to 22.7% to 27.2%, with energy from 92 to 125 kcal per 100g. With no starch in the tin, the carbohydrate estimate only collects rounding.
