Lily's Kitchen Adult Wet vs Forthglade Chicken Liver & Turkey

Pros

• ✓61% named meat content (41% turkey + 20% duck) with no by-products or meat meal
• ✓Extremely high palatability — dogs across multiple reviews show strong, sustained enthusiasm
• ✓Full ingredient transparency: percentages declared, no vague terms like 'meat derivatives' or 'animal by-products'
• ✓Suitable from 8 weeks through senior life stages, reducing the need to switch foods

Cons

• ✗Premium price point flagged by multiple reviewers — cost per kg is high relative to mainstream alternatives
• ✗150g tray size is small; larger dogs will require several trays per meal, significantly increasing daily cost
• ✗Grain-free formulations are under ongoing FDA/FEDIAF scrutiny for a potential link to dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) in some breeds — not proven but worth monitoring
• ✗At least one report of a puppy losing interest after initial enthusiasm, suggesting possible palatability fatigue with repeated feeding
