Lily’s Kitchen Tins Adult review

A genuinely strong wet food. 40% declared meat content is respectable, and the label tells you exactly what is inside. Feeding it costs about £4.75 a day for a typical adult dog - the breakdown below shows exactly what that buys.

Our analysis

Breaking the 83 down: the biggest single loss is ingredient quality, where it takes 33.4 of a possible 40. Its strongest showing is declared meat content at 15 of 15.

The label declares 40% meat, which is a real number, which already puts it ahead of the many that print none, and the ingredient list names things individually rather than hiding them in catch-all categories.

At about £4.75 a day to feed a 10kg dog, the question is not whether it is cheap but whether the label justifies the price - and on our scoring, it broadly does.

Feeding & cost

What a bag actually costs to feed - worked out per dog, not per pack.

Pack sizeRRPPer kg
400 g£3.70£9.25

How heavy is your dog?

A typical 10 kg adult dog needs about 514 g a day = £4.75 / day, £144.40 / month.

How we work this out
  1. Energy: an adult dog at rest needs about 95 × weight0.75 kcal a day (the FEDIAF maintenance formula - a 10 kg dog works out near 534 kcal).
  2. Portion: divide that by this food's energy density, 104 kcal/100g, to get the grams above - a denser food needs fewer grams.
  3. Cost: multiply the grams by this food's price, £9.25 / kg, for the daily cost, then by 30.4 days for the month.

Estimates scale to your dog's weight and the food's calorie density - a denser food needs fewer grams. A rough guide; always follow the pack. Try the full feeding calculator
