Name: Wolf Of Wilderness Senior Red Meat Pack
Brand: Wolf Of Wilderness

83.4/100Outstanding

WetAdultSenior

A senior wet food that leads with fresh pork and then turns fish-forward, with tuna and salmon in the next two places despite the red meat name. It sits in our Outstanding band. Protein converts to 49.0% of dry matter while fat stays at 20.0%, so an older dog gets a full bowl for modest calories.

Our view

Likely to suit

Seniors with a little weight to lose, at 88 kcal per 100g
Dogs who light up for fish, with tuna at 16.0% and salmon at 10.0%
Joint and coat extras: green-lipped mussel, salmon oil and linseed oil
A change of scene. Pork turns up seldom elsewhere
Older eaters who like a full dish

Worth watching

Fish right through the recipe, so a dog kept off fish cannot eat around it
Joint extras at 0.1%, well short of a vet's dose for a diagnosed problem
A big daily portion, around 855 grams for a 15kg dog
