The best wet dog food to satisfy your pooch’s appetite

Looking to save yourself some money in the long run? This mega pack of Winalot Wet Dog Food contains 40 x100g pouches, so it’s great value and should last you a while. Coming with a generous helping of gravy with tasty, meaty chunks, this food is not only tasty for your pooch but hydrating too.

No matter how many foods my dogs try, we always come back to WINALOT mixed in Gravy. My three dogs can be fussy, particularly my senior Jack Russell Terriers who are 15 (and prefer human food), but they usually always eat Winalot mixed with some dry dog food. I love that it has no added artificial colours and contains vital vitamins, minerals and nutrients that they need for growth and healthy digestion. Not to mention, it’s designed to promote healthy skin and coat, too, so you should notice a change in your pup’s fur condition while feeding them this food.

As well as being great value for money, each pouch contains 100g, which makes it easy to keep track of what they're eating, especially for my Dachshund who has a big appetite. It's important to note that while this food is ideal for smaller dogs, larger dogs may need more than 100g of food per mealtime.

Naturo Adult Dog Food is one of the best canned wet foods for dogs as it's packed full of nutritious ingredients. Out of all the options we've tried over the years, this one has really stood out as one of the best. From the moment I opened the first can, I could tell it was different - no overwhelming smell, just a clean, meaty aroma that even my picky dog seemed excited about.

What really sold me was the ingredient list. It’s packed with 50% real meat, which I love because I know my dog is getting quality protein. On top of that, it includes 8% fruit and vegetables that you can actually see, so it feels more like a balanced meal than just a meat mash (and it gets my three to eat blueberries, which they normally avoid).

I’ve noticed a real difference in their coat condition since switching to Naturo; their fur looks shinier and healthier, which is probably down to the Omega 3 & 6. Another big plus is that it's made without any artificial colours, flavours or preservatives. It just feels good knowing I’m feeding them something natural and wholesome. I wish they sell bigger multipacks as we get through a whole can per mealtime (per three dogs).

When I was a new puppy owner, I spent a lot of time researching the best foods to support my pup’s growth and health. After reading about tails.com Inner Vitality for Puppies, I decided to give it a try and I’m honestly really glad I did.

Right from the first meal, my puppy was hooked. He’s usually a little hesitant with new textures, but he dove into this wet food without hesitation. The texture was soft and easy for him to eat, which was perfect for his tiny teeth. I also like that it’s designed specifically for puppies, so I knew it was giving him the right balance of nutrients during this important stage of development.

It's formulated to support digestion, bone growth and overall vitality and has none of those unnecessary fillers or artificial nasties. Plus, the portion sizes are super convenient - just open a pack and serve.

These packets are sold separately, unlike the tails.com subscription service.

Older dogs often need food that's easy to digest as their bodies and metabolisms start to slow down. Burns Pet Nutrition Natural Wet Dog Food can provide this and plenty of vitamins and minerals.

I found that the packets are small (although they do contain 150g) and highly convenient to open, serve, and store. My older dogs are 15 years old and quite small, so they have half a packet each, which I break down with a fork. It looks like a risotto and isn't too smelly. It's the perfect balance of texture - not too soft or crunchy - so senior pooches or dogs with fewer teeth can enjoy a variety of textures without it being too tough on their mouth. Although, I also add a scattering of dry food to give them some texture.

One of my dogs tends to pick out or leave carrots in his bowl, but when they're mixed in with the turkey and rice in the Burns food, he seems to eat them all, so that's an extra win!

This selection of Lily's Kitchen Classic Dinner Multipack Wet Dog Food tins is grain-free and packed full of vegetables. Four different recipes—chicken and Turkey Casserole, Cottage Pie, Lamb Hotpot, and Sunday Lunch—are included. They will certainly get your dog's mouth-watering at mealtimes, and the variety of flavours means they shouldn't get bored of their food easily.

"My sausage dog Luna loves her wet food and wastes no time in getting stuck into her dinner when the Lily's Kitchen wet food is popped into her bowl", says our Features & Reviews Editor Emily Gilbert and it's easy to see why. Lily's Kitchen prides itself on providing nutritionally complete and delicious meals for dogs, with no meat meal, no bone meal, no rendered meat, no preservatives or fillers, just wholesome natural ingredients of freshly prepared or fresh meat, vegetables, fruit and herbs. "As well as her enjoying it, I also really like knowing it's full of good stuff for her as her health is my utmost priority."

We like that that there's a high percentage of meat in each recipe, with up to 60 per cent of the overall composition of the food being a meat source. Meat provides protein which helps with keeping your pup's muscles strong and healthy and with such a higher percentage of meat, combined with fruit, veggies, herbs and botanicals, you won't have to worry about cheap and nasty fillers making up the rest of your hound's meals. Plus, "You also get such a good amount of food in one tin that we actually find that we can stretch it over three meals when mixed with dry food.", says Emily.

Some customers found that some of their tins arrived with dents in them, which unfortunately can happen in transit when they're being delivered straight to your door. This, of course doesn't affect the quality of the food in any way but is just something you might want to take into account if you're worried about how they might look on arrival. Other than the odd comment about tin dents, this food has got plenty of rave reviews from customers and from our Features and Reviews Editor, Emily, with reviews online mentioning they were impressed with the variety and didn't find the smell to be as unpleasant as other dog foods they've fed their dog in the past (although we're sure the dogs would argue that they were all great smells!). Emily and other reviewers loved knowing they were feeding their pooches quality ingredients.

Formulated from fresh ingredients and packed full of nutrients, vitamins, and minerals, Pooch & Mutt have worked their hardest to create their Multipack Wet Food cartons. They are made from a combination of meat and vegetables to get some variety in their diet, and my three pups love them.

Prebiotics have also been added to each recipe to promote healthy digestion and allow all of the good bacteria to thrive, which means a healthy and happy pooch, which I love to see. Each of the four recipes is formulated without added artificial flavours, colours, or preservatives, with no grain, cereal, gluten, soy, dairy, or non-GM produce, so it's a good choice for dogs with allergies, intolerances, or sensitivities.

I can't stop raving about the variety of flavours on offer in this selection pack, as my dogs can get bored of eating the same food day in and day out, so I like to switch up their mealtimes. It's great that there's 375g per pack, as it means I only need to open one per mealtime and it'll feed all three of my small dogs (when mixed with a little bit of dry food). I also want to praise the packaging, which is fully recyclable - although it can get a bit messy as you have to squeeze the food out- so you should rinse it before it gets reused.

Some customers' fussy dogs weren't keen on the recipes and the odd owner commented their dog had a bit of an upset tummy after trying this food for the first time. To avoid this happening with any food, you should introduce it slowly by adding a small amount to their current food and increasing it bit by bit until it's fully integrated into your pup's diet.

Scrumbles Natural Wet Dog Food is a great option for everyday use, but the compact pouches are ideal for travelling too, so your four-legged friend can enjoy a decent dinner, whether they are in the world.

My dogs love the taste of this food, and I love that it has a high meat content (70% per packet), and no nasty fillers added to compensate - just some tasty vegetables! Sometimes, the older two dogs, who are now 15, have sensitive stomachs, but they have no issue with Scrumbles, which is likely down to its gut-friendly formula. I would like more then 6 packets per multipack, though, as even with three small dogs, we get through them quickly!

Harringtons is all about naturally sourced, wholesome food, and its yummy wet food reflects that. The Harringtons Complete Mixed Wet Food trays are of high quality and include vitamins and minerals to elevate your pup's diet. It doesn't include any ingredients that can mess with your dog's digestion to keep their tummy settled.

We love that the freshly prepared meat and vegetables in this food are gently cooked, which means that the freshness and goodness are locked in so it doesn't lose any of its nutritional value during the making process. As well as being a good source of protein, which your pup needs for energy and growth, it also includes chicory extract, a prebiotic that aids digestive health, green-lipped mussel for keeping your pup's joints in good condition, and rosehip as a source of vitamin C, which is a known immune system booster for dogs.

Customers love the size and shape of the trays that this food comes in, as they can lie it flat and it doesn't take up too much room in cupboards or fridges. It is worth noting that while the food is grain-free, it is made in a factory that processes grains so traces could be found in your dog's food. This will depend on how bad your pup's grain allergy, intolerance or sensitivity is as to whether this would affect your pooch.

Easy-to-digest food with no sugars, artificial colours, flavours or preservatives, Forthglade Natural Grain Free Complete Wet Food is full of natural goodness. The fishy formulas of the salmon and sardine recipes offer the perfect protein source for adult dogs who are big on flavour.

I like that you won't find any fillers, artificial colours, flavours or preservatives in this food. Instead, there are natural ingredients with added vitamins, minerals and botanicals that have been gently steamed to ensure this Forthglade food is bursting with as much goodness as possible. As a grain-free and hypoallergenic recipe, it's gentle on my dog's tum, so it's easy for them to digest and doesn't cause them any tummy troubles.

The food is good value for the recipe you're getting as it includes 75 per cent fish in each tray. It does smell quite pungent, but this is to be expected with a fish recipe, so just be prepared that while your dog will love it, it might be a bit stinky for you to prepare for them every mealtime.

Another good value buy for your pooch, you get 40 100g pouches of Pedigree’s yummy megapack in jelly for under £15. These pouches make for a tasty complete meal on their own or they can be mixed and added to dry dog food to offer your pooch variety in their bowl at mealtimes.

Cheaper dog food doesn’t always have the best reputation and while there could be a higher percentage of meat in each recipe and higher quality ingredients, you’re not getting any nasties in this recipe as it doesn’t contain artificial colours, flavours or preservatives. The recipe was also developed with vets and nutritionists to give you additional peace of mind.

Pedigree markets these pouches as being easy to open, but the opinions of customers are mixed on this. Some reviewers felt like it was hard to get every last morsel of food out of the packets, but then other reviews haven't had issues at all and liked the pouches because it meant that getting the food out wasn’t a messy job.

Introducing wet food to your puppy will work towards their diet being varied from day dot. This Royal Canin Mini Puppy Food recipe is especially catered towards the digestive and nutritional needs of puppies to give them the best start to life so they grow up happy and healthy.

Enriched with vitamins C and E, we think this food is great for their development as it will help build up their immune system and support their natural defences while also giving them the energy they need to keep being the crazy little balls of fluff that we love. It’s also got added Omega-3 fatty acids, which is great for developing your little pup’s brain.

With the pouches being 85g, they’re smaller than others on the list, which for a puppy should be okay but you might want to mix it in with dry food too to bulk up their meals. As it’s designed with small puppies in mind, you’ll find the texture is just right for their baby teeth to break down and the overall size of the chunks in the gravy shouldn’t be too big to overwhelm your baby dog.
