Pate & Meat Turkey or Mono Protein Turkey
If you are looking for turkey for a sensitive dog, the choice depends on the goal. For an everyday tasty diet, this can works. For a single-protein diet you need Brit Mono Protein Turkey — it contains only turkey, broth and minerals, with no chicken. The difference matters: with a food allergy, even a small amount of an "extra" protein can keep the symptoms going.
Poultry in a dog's diet
Chicken and turkey are the most common proteins in pet food. Most healthy dogs tolerate them well, and the lean meat suits calm, less active dogs too. But precisely because it is so common, chicken often becomes the cause of a food allergy. If your dog has itching or stool problems, discuss changing the protein with your vet.

How to feed it
Serve the cans at room temperature. If you add them to kibble, reduce the dry food portion as the manufacturer advises. Portion sizes are covered in how much food to give a dog per day. Introduce the new food gradually over 5–7 days.
Storage
Store unopened cans in a cool, dry place. Cover an opened can and put it in the fridge, and let the food warm up before serving.
Who it suits
The cans suit adult dogs with no poultry allergy, fussy eaters and dogs that need extra moisture. For dogs that cannot have chicken there is Pate & Meat Beef. For variety, try Pate & Meat Duck and Pate & Meat Salmon. All cans are in canned dog food.
Verdict
Brit Pate & Meat Turkey is turkey and chicken in a meat pâté: 70% meat and organs, 11% protein, 9% fat, with no grains, gluten or soy. The downsides are more chicken with liver than turkey, unsuitability for dogs allergic to chicken, the fact that it is not single-protein and the missing feeding table.
