The food can help to support kidney function and contains a special antioxidant complex as well as essential EPA and DHA. It also has a lower phosphorus content as well as adapted protein levels to help to prevent overloading of the kidneys.

Good to know
- For small dogs, trays or pouches avoid half-used tins sitting in the fridge for days.
- Check the label for ‘complete’ before feeding a wet food as the whole diet. Toppers and extras are often complementary.
- To compare protein with dry food, divide the protein figure by (100 minus moisture) and multiply by 100.
Common questions
How long does opened wet dog food last in the fridge?
Check the label, but most manufacturers say a day or two. Keep it covered or in a lidded container rather than open in the tin. If it smells off or has changed colour, throw it away.
Why does wet dog food have so little protein compared with dry?
Because most of a tin is water. The analysis on the label is given ‘as fed’, including the moisture. Convert both foods to dry matter to compare them properly, and wet food often comes out as high or higher in protein.
