best canned wet food

[bird]

I mix a bit of Wainwright's with kibble to make it interesting. My labs always been a bit picky when it was kibble only. I get a mixed box so the variety changes every few days. He should be on about 2.5 trays a day (apparently). He gets about a third of a tray with both daily meals and the spaniel gets a little bit too as I feel mean if I leave him out

This nature one looks ok its quite firm but no meaty chunks, looks better than the Wainwright one though that looks like babyfood. Mixed it with James welbeloved dry she seemed to enjoy it. She has never really seemed to enjoy any kibble but we have yet to find suitable wet so here's hoping.

The meaty chunks in the vast majority are in fact textured vegetable protein!

Really ??
I didn't know that.

I am sure I have asked before but I cant find it plus it was a while ago so an up to date wont do any harm.
Three questions......

As the title what tinned dog food is considered to be the best quality. ?

Is pedigree as bad as I am lead to believe. ?

What would be the recommend protien level for medium - active cocker. ?

This website https://www.allaboutdogfood.co.uk/ is pretty good with rating dog foods that are available to buy You can search for brands etc, obviously they don’t list every brand but it’s pretty good.

Moderator here. Just pointing out we don't allow newbies to post links otherwise we'd be inundated with people joining just to advertise their wares. I have removed a link from "JamesRobert 12's post as he's a new member but left in Cornishbird's link as she's been around a while.

Had a cocker for eleven years and tried every tin going. Best is whatever names a real meat first, not "derivatives," because that label tells you more than the brand does. Pedigree is not poison but it is heavy on cereal and filler, and my boy perked up the moment I switched him to something with muscle meat up top and no sugar. For a medium active cocker aim around 22 to 25 percent protein on a dry matter basis, adjust with age and how much he runs. What really clicked for me was reading about,where grinding consistency and cooking temperature decide how much nutrition survives the can, which explains why two tins with the same numbers fed so differently. Watch his coat and energy, he will tell you faster than any forum will.
