80.3/100Outstanding

WetAdult

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

Berries: Blueberries, blackberries; Blueberries and raspberries
Calcium, dry matter: 0.8%; The only tin to declare it

The organ-led recipe and the leader of the range on our scoring.

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.
