I've seen this in Tesco at £1 a tray.
Seems to be not too bad regards ingredients.... Has anybody bought this? Did it go down well with your dog?
I use JWB dry but like to top it with a bit of wet. Might give it a try!:)

I think they had duck and rice, salmon and something and perhaps Turkey . I will get some tomorrow and let you know how my boy gets on:)
No it's not a supermarket own.... A web search says it's a company that launched in 2010 based in Ireland.
Sorry couldn't link it from my ipad:)
i actually saw this in tesco on monday and bought a tray of the duck variety (double staff discount this week so only 80p for us, worth a punt even if my boy doesn't like it, i thought!)
not opened it yet, but he'll likely have half of it for his evening meal tomorrow so i'll report back

I'm not a dog nutritionalist but that doesn't sound too bad to me.
I bought the salmon, duck and turkey on Monday, but the turkey is for seniors... My mistake, the salmon smelled like tinned salmon and actually looked better than some terrines I've had:) the duck also looked good with loads of rice and veg.... My dog has wolfed it down, so it seems a massive paws up from him:)
the tomato doesn;t bother me as much, but as you mention, they can be harmful in certain circumstances.
neither worry me in the case of my dog as he only has wet food once in a blue moon as a treat
but i wouldn't like the added sugar every day for him.
apologies for the poor quality, but my phone isn;t fantastic camera-wise
but for anyone interested, here's a photo of it open - http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v502/XDOW/Photo2310_zps748a8e73.jpg
i've certainly seen more appetising foods, but the smell is quite pleasant for a dog food!
there are small pieces of veg through it, carrot, peas and potato all visible

and it was definitely approved of anyway - http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v502/XDOW/Photo2314_zps0646136c.jpg
as he still has kibble along side, this tray should last him three days, so the 72 hour life once opened is perfect
Key thing is try these things and see how the dog does on them, I am certain one size does fit all with food as we have to feed different food to each of our dogs because one is gluten intolerant and the other hates anything with gravy and prefers fruit and vegetables to meat. So we try to meet all their needs and can't do that with just one food.
I'd be interested to hear your comparison:)
