Wolf Of Wilderness Classic Trays Adult: High Valley review
81.1/100Outstanding
WetAdultSenior
Wolf of Wilderness Classic is a wet range that keeps its labels short enough to read aloud. Each tray is 66% of one named animal, with meat and organs together, then meat stock, a spoonful of berries, a pinch of wild herbs, and nothing else. One animal per tray, no grain, and nothing on the label without a percentage beside it. Three of the four trays sit in our Excellent band, and the beef goes one step better into Outstanding. For owners who want simple food without a simple-food compromise, this range is one of the easiest recommendations we make.

Our view
Likely to suit
If you have ever squinted at a wet food label wondering what half of it means, this is the range that fixes that.
- Owners after a label they can read at a glance, since there are five entries and no more
- Dogs that need one protein at a time, since each tray keeps to a single named animal
- Households feeding older dogs, as every tray is listed for adults and seniors alike
- Dogs kept off grain, since none of the four labels has a cereal on it
Worth watching
Simple recipes still have their own character, so two things are worth knowing.
- These are organ-led recipes built on hearts and livers, which most dogs relish, though the richness can surprise a dog raised on blander food
- Adults and seniors are the life stages on these trays, and a growing puppy will need another recipe

The score, in context
Our Excellent band holds three of the trays, level with the typical wet food, the beef tray steps up into Outstanding, and every variety here clears the typical wet food's mark. The four finish close together, so choose by animal rather than by score.

Ingredient notes
The brevity is the point. Five working entries per tray, every one with a percentage, and the protein converts to between 36.5% and 49.0% of dry matter depending on the variety. That is a meat tray, honestly described.
The meat fraction is heart and liver with similar working cuts, not muscle fillet. Much of an animal's nutrition actually lives in the organs, and that is also why these trays smell the way they do. Dogs tend to consider this a feature.
The stock is declared at 28.8% and named as meat stock, not water or "gravy". It carries the moisture a wet food needs and nothing it doesn't.
Berries at 2% apiece and wild herbs at 0.2% close each label. At those levels they are seasoning rather than nutrition, and the percentages printed on the label tell you so.
The added vitamin panel is short. Vitamin D3 and vitamin E come with zinc and manganese, each dosed. A tray built on organ meats brings more micronutrition in the food itself than a cereal-based recipe does. That is how the label gets away with adding so little.
How this variety differs
High Valley (beef). Beef heart, meat, liver, rumen and lung with the berry pair. The strongest performer of the four on our scoring, and the one tray that reaches our Outstanding band.
Price and value
£3.90 a kilo on every variety.
As a guide, a 15kg adult dog in moderate condition needs roughly 718 to 785 grams a day depending on the variety. That assumes about 840 kcal a day (110 × bodyweight^0.75, the standard maintenance estimate), and it works out at £2.80 to £3.06 a day. The label's own guide for a 10kg dog is 500 to 680 grams a day.
