The score, in context

Wild Hills 80.5
Blue River 79.4

Two recipes across Outstanding and Excellent. Typical wet food: Excellent.

The two land a whisker apart, so the choice is about which animals your dog prefers.

What's in it

Meat stock28.8%The one entry that leaves its animal unnamed.
Salmon20%Oily fish in the mix.
Cranberries, currants2% each
Minerals1%
Sunflower oil0.2%The only added fat, and a modest one.
Wild herbs: dandelion root, nettle, ribwort plantain, yarrow0.2%Named one by one.
Eggshell powder0.1%Carries calcium, and puts egg on the list.

Vitamin D3, vitamin E, zinc, manganese and iodine, all dosed.

The meat stock names no animal, so this tin cannot anchor a strict elimination diet.

The recipe to choose if you want oily fish in the bowl.

Both tins open with a named animal at 46% and a second at 20%, organs spelled out, with an unnamed meat stock filling most of the rest. Berries, four named wild herbs, eggshell powder and a little sunflower oil close both lists, and neither carries a grain.

Calcium converts to 1.12% of dry matter on both. Protein runs to 44.8% and 46.0% of dry matter.
