Brit Pate & Meat Rabbit, 400 g is a complete wet dog food from the Czech maker Brit: real meat chunks in a pure meat pâté. Rabbit and chicken meat together with offal make up 70% of the recipe. It's free from gluten, soy and GMOs. According to the manufacturer, gentle processing preserves the taste and aroma of the meat, so even fussy dogs enjoy it. It can be fed on its own or added to dry food.
Ingredients
Rabbit meat 26%, chicken meat 24%, whole chicken liver 8%, heart and lungs 12%, broth 28.5%, minerals 1% and salmon oil 0.5%. The list is short and clear: only meat, offal, broth and minerals, with no grains, vegetables or thickeners listed. Liver and heart are valuable organ meats rich in vitamins and iron, and salmon oil adds fatty acids. For reading labels, see how to read pet food ingredients.

How to feed it
The daily amount depends on weight, activity and living conditions — use the table on the can. If you give it as a topper on dry food for variety and appetite, be sure to reduce the main food so your dog doesn't gain weight. Serve at room temperature: food straight from the fridge is better warmed slightly. Fresh water should always be available. Switch foods gradually — see how to switch your pet to a new food.
Storage
Store unopened cans somewhere cool and dry. Once opened, transfer the rest to a closed container, refrigerate and use within 1–2 days. Don't leave wet food in the bowl for long — clear away leftovers after the meal.
Rabbit in a dog's diet
Rabbit is a lean, easily digestible meat that many dogs love. It's often chosen to add variety and for dogs bored of the usual chicken or beef. But this recipe contains almost as much chicken as rabbit, so dogs with food allergies are better off with single-protein foods such as Brit Mono Protein with turkey and sweet potato. More on feeding allergic dogs in hypoallergenic dog food.
Combining wet and dry food
Mixing wet and dry food is popular: your dog gets crunchy kibble and tasty meat, plus more fluid. The key is to count total calories and not add cans on top of a full portion of dry food. Wet food is especially handy for older dogs with poor appetite or dental problems — more in senior dogs: diet and care. Puppies have their own range, such as Brit Pate & Meat Puppy.
Who it suits
Owners of adult dogs without a chicken allergy who want to vary the diet with meaty, short-ingredient wet food or feed wet food exclusively. More canned food is in the canned dog food section.
Verdict
Brit Pate & Meat Rabbit is a meaty wet dog food with 70% meat and offal, chunks in pâté and a short, grain- and soy-free recipe. Good as a complete food or as a dry food topper. The downsides are almost as much chicken as rabbit, and no calorie figure on the product page.
