Winalot Cans Classics Mixed in Jelly Chicken 12pk

Dogs do not eat jelly for the jelly. What jelly does is carry smell, and a food that smells of something at room temperature will usually get eaten by a dog that has spent all morning walking past a bowl of dry kibble without touching it. That is most of the reason wet food exists, and most of the reason a household that has switched rarely switches back.

This is a complete food for healthy adult dogs, so it is formulated to be the whole meal rather than a topper on top of a dry one. Analytical constituents are protein 6.5%, fat content 3.5%, crude ash 2.5%, crude fibre 0.1% and moisture 81.5%. The composition reads meat and animal derivatives (of which chicken 4%), cereals, vegetable protein extracts, minerals and various sugars, and Winalot add vitamins A, D3 and E along with iron, iodine, copper, manganese and zinc.

• Twelve 400g cans, complete food for healthy adult dogs
• Protein 6.5%, fat content 3.5%, crude ash 2.5%, crude fibre 0.1%
• Moisture 81.5%, which is normal for a canned food and worth knowing
• Meat and animal derivatives (of which chicken 4%), cereals, vegetable protein extracts, minerals, various sugars
• Added vitamins A, D3 and E plus iron, iodine, copper, manganese and zinc
• Feeding guide is set by dog weight, from under 5kg up to over 45kg

What the name does not tell you. Chicken is declared at 4%. The rest of the meat content is listed as meat and animal derivatives, which is a legal category rather than a named species, so the label does not say which animals it came from. Various sugars are on the ingredient list too, with no figure given for how much. None of that makes it a bad tin — it is a complete food and it is priced like what it is — but if you came looking for a chicken recipe, 4% is the number you were looking for.

Who it's for: owners of healthy adult dogs who feed wet, buy by the pack rather than the tin, and want a straightforward everyday food instead of a recipe with a story attached.
