What the manufacturer claims
According to Brit, plenty of quality meat and gentle processing give excellent taste and smell, and the meat and organ chunks in pâté appeal to demanding dogs. The cans can be fed alone or with kibble — for appetite and extra fluid. Each kilogram contains added vitamins D3 (250 IU) and 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).

Cons and what to watch
- More chicken than lamb. With liver, chicken totals 32% and lamb 26%.

- No feeding table. The card gives no daily amount.
- 6.5% ash. Higher than Brit's single-protein line.
Pate & Meat Lamb or Mono Protein Lamb
If you want lamb because of sensitive digestion or a suspected allergy, these cans are not the best choice: they contain a lot of chicken. For that, Brit offers Brit Mono Protein Lamb, which contains nothing but lamb, broth and minerals. Pate & Meat Lamb is an "ordinary" tasty can for a healthy dog that simply likes lamb. Single-protein diets are covered in hypoallergenic dog food.
Why lamb is in the name when there is more chicken
The manufacturer names the flavour after the meat listed first. Lamb at 26% is more than chicken without liver (24%). But chicken plus chicken liver adds up to 32%. This is not an error on the card but a quirk of how ingredients are counted. So always read the full ingredient list, not just the name on the can. More in how to read pet food ingredients.
How to feed it
Serve the cans at room temperature. If you combine them with kibble, reduce the dry food portion — Brit advises the same. Introduce a new food gradually over 5–7 days; the plan is in how to switch your pet to a new food.
Storage
Store unopened cans in a cool, dry place. Cover the leftover food and put it in the fridge, and let the portion warm up before serving.
Who it suits
The cans suit adult dogs with no allergy to chicken or lamb, fussy eaters and owners who want to add a wet food with a short recipe. They do not suit a single-protein diet. Other flavours are Pate & Meat Beef without chicken and Pate & Meat Venison. All cans are in canned dog food.
Verdict
Brit Pate & Meat Lamb is lamb and chicken chunks in pâté: 70% meat and organs, 11% protein, 9% fat, with no grains, gluten or soy. The downsides are that chicken with liver outweighs lamb, so the food does not suit allergic dogs or a single-protein diet, and the card has no feeding table.
