75.4/100Excellent

WetAdult

Duck takes 60% of this tray and the rest of the label is brief. That leaves carbohydrate at 10.0% of dry matter, well under the 15.8% typical for adult wet food, and fat on the rich side at 36.0%. It sits in our Excellent band.

Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs that suit a richer bowl
Owners who want the meat share in black and white
Grain-free homes. Potato and peas carry the starch, with no cereal anywhere
A change from chicken and beef; duck is an easier meat to keep out of the rest of the week
Adults of any build, toy to giant

Worth watching

Salmon oil at 0.3%, so not for a dog that must avoid fish
High fat for a wet food: check the portion on a dog that gains weight easily
One 395g tray size only, so a small dog leaves half for the fridge
Dried kelp with no percentage, for a dog on a controlled iodine plan

The score, in context

Wonderdog Grain Free Duck & Potato Wet 75.4

All one Excellent. Typical wet food: Excellent.

It keeps pace with a strong wet shelf, and the carbohydrate estimate is the figure that sets it apart.

What's in it

Duck60%The only meat. Digests easily and tends to do well with dogs bored of the usual meats.
Dried potato
Dried peasThe more useful of the two starches, with fibre, manganese and some plant protein.
Sunflower oilDoes most of the fat work and brings vitamin E of its own.
Dried carrotBeta-carotene and soluble fibre.
Salmon oil0.3%A small amount of omega-3, and the reason the tray is not fish free.
Tomato pomace, dried kelp, dried basil
Yucca extract0.005%Usually there to take the edge off stool odour.

A brief panel with a printed dose on every entry, from vitamins A, D3 and E to zinc, iron, copper and manganese.

Dried kelp carries no percentage. Worth knowing if your dog is on a controlled iodine plan.

Named ingredients

Duck (60%), Dried Potato, Dried Peas, Sunflower Oil, Dried Carrot, Salmon Oil (0.3%), Tomato Pomace, Dried Kelp, Dried Basil, Yucca Extract (0.005%).

Against the range

Duck at 60% is the only meat in the tray. Dried potato and dried peas supply what little starch there is, and sunflower oil does most of the fat work.
