Wolf Of Wilderness 'The Taste Of' Tins: The Taste Of Scandinavia review

Name: Wolf Of Wilderness 'The Taste Of' Tins: The Taste Of Scandinavia
Brand: Wolf Of Wilderness

78/100Excellent

WetAdultSenior

Flavour

Five tins, five postcards from somewhere wilder, and all of them in our Excellent band. Each blends named animals in broth, and the novel ones are real: kangaroo, goat, reindeer, cod and trout. Nothing is left as a category term, which is unusual on a wet shelf.

Where to buy: coming soon

Live retailer links are coming soon. Once we have them from UK retailers, where to buy and the best price will appear here.

Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs bored of the usual meats
Owners who want every animal named, with a percentage beside it
Very little starch. The carbohydrate estimate runs from 6.5% to 11.2% of dry matter
Older dogs, as three of the five carry a senior label alongside the adult one
Multi-dog homes, with one construction across all five and only the animals changing

Worth watching

At least two animals in every tin, so none can anchor an avoidance plan
Chicken in three of the five, matching the lamb at 28.0% in the Mediterranean
Fish in three tins: cod, salmon and trout

The details

Dog fit

Listed for adults, with Canada, Scandinavia and the Mediterranean also for seniors. These are rich tins, so a dog moving over from a lighter wet food will need a smaller bowl.

The score, in context

The Taste Of Canada 77.9
The Taste Of The Mediterranean 77.8

All five Excellent. Typical wet food: Excellent.

Nothing meaningful separates the five, so your dog's preference is the better tie-breaker.

Chicken is 45.0% of the tin, so this is not one for a chicken-free dog.

Named ingredients

Chicken (45.0%, consisting of heart, meat, stomach, liver, neck, fat), broth (30.6%), reindeer (10.0%), salmon (10.0%), wild berries (2.0%, blueberries), minerals, salmon oil (1.0%), eggshell powder (0.5%), brewer's yeast (0.1%), wild herbs (0.1%, nettle, chamomile, fennel, caraway flour, yarrow), inulin (0.1%). Vitamin E (20 IU/kg), biotin (300 μg/kg), zinc [zinc sulphate, monohydrate] (25 mg/kg), manganese [manganese(II) sulphate, monohydrate] (1.4 mg/kg), copper [copper(II) sulphate pentahydrate] (1 mg/kg), iodine [calcium iodate, anhydrous] (0.75 mg/kg). The Savanna / The Outback, Vitamin D3 (200 IU/kg), vitamin E (20 IU/kg), biotin (300 μg/kg), zinc [zinc sulphate, monohydrate] (25 mg/kg), manganese [manganese(II) sulphate, monohydrate] (1.4 mg/kg).

Against the range

Meat: Chicken 45.0%, reindeer and salmon 10.0% each; 28.0% to 40.0% leads elsewhere.
Protein, dry matter: 49.0%; Highest of the five; Canada is 43.2%.
Copper, iodine: Dosed on the panel; Not on the other four.

The meatiest analysis in the range, with reindeer for interest.

Every tin follows one idea with a different cast. A lead animal takes between 28.0% and 45.0%, one or two more follow with their own percentages, and broth is declared at 27.3% to 30.6%. Each animal is written part by part, hearts, livers, lungs and necks among them, so the recipes are built on whole-carcass eating.

Eggshell powder supplies calcium, and the oil changes with the tin: safflower, salmon or olive. There is no cereal anywhere. Protein converts to between 43.2% and 49.0% of dry matter and the carbohydrate estimate tops out at 11.2%.
