Brit Mono Protein Lamb, 400 g is a wet dog food with a single source of animal protein — lamb. It is the shortest recipe in the line: lamb 76% (lamb meat, lungs, liver and heart), lamb broth 23% and minerals 1%. There are no grains, potatoes or other carbohydrates. The analysis: crude protein 10%, fat 7%, ash 3%, fibre 0.3%, moisture 80%. The manufacturer calls the cans a complete food and recommends them for dogs with sensitive digestion, allergies and food intolerance.
What the manufacturer claims
Brit relies on one protein per recipe — this lowers the risk of allergy and helps find a food the dog tolerates. According to the brand, the high meat content and gentle processing give good taste and smell. The cans can be fed as a meal on their own or added to kibble, so the dog eats better and gets more fluid. There is no gluten, soy or GMO. Each kilogram contains added vitamin D3 (250 IU), vitamin E (100 mg), zinc (15 mg), iron (10 mg), manganese (3 mg), iodine (0.75 mg), copper (0.5 mg) and biotin (0.2 mg).

Pros
- Lamb only. No chicken, beef or fish.
- Three components. Meat, broth and minerals — as simple as it gets.
- No grains or potatoes. Suits a strict carb-free diet.
- 76% meat. Including liver, heart and lungs.
- High moisture. 80% helps dogs that drink little.
- Versatile. Feed alone or as a topper for dry food.
Cons and what to watch
- No feeding amounts. The card does not say how much to give dogs of different weights.
- Lamb is no longer rare. It is in many dry foods; if your dog has eaten it, an allergy trial needs a different protein.
- Modest vitamin list. Only D3 and E are listed.
- 7% fat. Dogs on a fat-restricted diet should check with a vet.
Lamb or Lamb & Rice
The line also includes Brit Mono Protein Lamb & Rice with added rice. The rice-free version is more convenient for an elimination diet: there is nothing in the can but lamb. The rice version is a little more filling and suits dogs that tolerate this grain well. If you are unsure, start with the rice-free version and discuss the diet with your vet.
Lamb as a protein source
Lamb was long considered a "hypoallergenic" meat because it used to be rare in pet foods. Today it appears in many diets, so the main rule of a single-protein diet is to choose a meat your dog has not eaten yet. If lamb is new to your dog, these cans can help check whether itching and stool problems go away. The approach to such diets is covered in hypoallergenic dog food.
Using it with dry food
A spoonful of wet food on top of kibble is a simple way to tempt a fussy dog. Mind the calories: when you add cans, reduce the dry food portion as the manufacturer advises. If the dry food contains other proteins, it is no longer a single-protein diet — an allergy trial needs a food with the same protein. Serve the cans at room temperature.
Storage
Cover an opened can and keep it in the fridge. Take the portion out in advance or warm it slightly so it is at room temperature. Remove leftovers from the bowl after half an hour, especially in summer.
Switching to the cans
Introduce a new food over 5–7 days, gradually mixing it with the usual one. For dogs with a sensitive stomach it is better to stretch the switch to 10 days. A detailed plan is in how to switch your pet to a new food.
Who it suits
Brit Mono Protein Lamb suits dogs with a suspected food allergy that have not eaten lamb before, dogs on a strict carb-free diet, fussy eaters and dogs that need extra moisture. It does not suit dogs allergic to lamb. Other cans are in canned dog food, and the beef version is Brit Mono Protein Beef.
Verdict
Brit Mono Protein Lamb is the shortest recipe in the line: 76% lamb with organs, broth and minerals, 10% protein, 7% fat, with no grains, gluten or soy. The downsides are the missing feeding amounts, only two listed vitamins, and the fact that lamb works for an allergy trial only if the dog has not eaten it before.
