Brit Premium by Nature Lamb with Buckwheat, 400 g is a meat pâté with lamb for dogs with sensitive digestion from the Czech maker Brit. It can be used as a complete food, a treat or a topper on dry food for dogs of all breeds. It's free from grains, salt and GMOs and contains salmon oil and apples. It provides 1000 kcal/kg — 400 kcal per can.
Ingredients
Lamb 36%, lamb broth 35.5%, chicken 22%, buckwheat 4%, apples 1%, minerals 1% and salmon oil 0.5%. Buckwheat is a gluten-free pseudocereal, so the food stays "grain-free" while providing a little easily digestible carbohydrate. Salmon oil supplies fatty acids for skin and coat. Vitamins D3 and E, zinc, iron, manganese, iodine and copper are added. For reading labels, see how to read pet food ingredients.

How to feed it
The daily amount depends on size, age, activity and living conditions. As a calorie guide, one can provides 400 kcal. If you add the pâté to dry food for variety, reduce the dry food portion. Serve at room temperature and make sure fresh water is available. Keep an opened can in the fridge and use within 1–2 days. More on portions in how much food to give a dog per day.
For dogs with sensitive digestion
The soft pâté, short grain-free recipe and buckwheat as a carbohydrate make the food gentle on the stomach. But if your dog has a confirmed chicken allergy, this food won't suit — choose single-protein cans such as Brit Mono Protein Lamb & Rice, where lamb is the only protein. More on feeding allergic dogs in hypoallergenic dog food.
Ways to use the pâté
The pâté mixes easily with dry food, coating the kibble with flavour and helping fussy dogs finish their bowl. It can be spread into puzzle toys and lick mats, used as a training reward or used to hide tablets. Older dogs with bad teeth find pâté easier to eat than chunks — more on their diet in senior dogs: diet and care.
Is grain-free better?
Going grain-free helps dogs intolerant to wheat or maize, but on its own it doesn't make a food better. Protein quality, nutrient balance and how the food suits your dog matter more. More in grain-free food: facts and myths.
Who it suits
Owners of dogs without a chicken allergy who want to vary the diet with a grain- and salt-free meat pâté, and owners of dogs that don't eat dry food well. More canned food is in the canned dog food section, and grain-free options in grain-free dog food.
Verdict
Brit Premium by Nature Lamb with Buckwheat is a grain- and salt-free meat pâté with lamb and buckwheat, a clear calorie figure and salmon oil. It works as a complete food and as a dry food topper. The downsides are 22% chicken in the recipe, and the collagen and herbs mentioned in the description don't appear in the ingredient list.
