A dog that does badly on beef or chicken often does fine on lamb, which is one reason a steamed single-protein tray like this is useful beyond just being another flavour — it's a genuine alternative protein source for a dog whose diet needs narrowing down.

Nutriment's Gently Steamed Lamb is 68% lamb, made up of lamb lung (15%), lamb tripe (15%), lamb liver (7%) and lamb heart (4%), alongside pumpkin (1%), minerals, dried broccoli (0.5%, equivalent to 4%), blueberry (0.5%), salmon oil and chicory (0.01%). It's fortified with vitamin A (2,250 IU), vitamin D3 (328 IU) and vitamin E (26mg). It's sold in a 395G tray, stored without a freezer, with protein at 9%, fat 7%, crude fibre 0.5%, crude ash 2.5% and moisture 76%. The feeding table gives daily amounts by dog size, from up to 3/4 tray for extra small dogs up to 5kg through to larger amounts for bigger breeds.

• 395G tray, no freezer needed
• 68% lamb, including lung, tripe, liver and heart
• Protein 9%, fat 7%, crude fibre 0.5%, crude ash 2.5%, moisture 76%
• Fortified with vitamin A, D3 and E
• Feeding table by dog size, from extra small to extra large

What's missing from this one. This is a complete food meant to be fed as a full meal rather than a topper, so if your dog is used to a set kibble portion you'd need to work from Nutriment's own tray-based feeding table rather than converting the amount yourself.

Who it's for: owners looking for a single-protein lamb option, particularly if a dog reacts badly to beef or chicken, who also want something that doesn't need freezer space.
