PÂTÉ — wet food for dogs at its most refined
For us, wet dog food is about far more than moisture in the bowl. Our PÂTÉ is chef-crafted from fresh produce and human-grade ingredients, prepared in Our finest British Heritage Kitchens and composed so that every tin can stand alone as a complete meal. The texture is soft and even, the aroma intense — which is precisely why it wins over dogs who would otherwise sniff at the bowl and wander off. Serve it as the whole meal, or as a heavenly topping on kibble that elevates the daily bowl without upsetting the balance of the feeding plan.
The entire collection is grain-free and BOF-approved, and each variety has a character all of its own. THE BEGINNING PÂTÉ is composed of 65% duck and chicken, while BEGINNING PÂTÉ NAUTICAL EDITION is built around 70% salmon and cod for those dogs who prefer the flavours of the sea. SUPERIOR LIVING PÂTÉ, NAUTICAL LIVING PÂTÉ, HIGHLAND LIVING PÂTÉ, ESTATE LIVING PÂTÉ and KINGDOM LIVING PÂTÉ span everything from turkey and duck, through lamb and turkey, to wild boar and pork. These are not degrees of quality, but different routes to the same destination: a meal your dog genuinely looks forward to. Alongside the individual tins you will also find tasting boxes with several varieties, as well as THE LICKING MAT for enrichment.
How to choose the right pâté for your dog
Begin with the life stage. For the youngest, PÂTÉ is available within the puppy and junior range, where the BEGINNING series has been created for the finest possible start — luxurious, grain-free puppy meals made with carefully selected local and regional delicacies, entirely free from unnecessary fillers. If you are still finding your rhythm during your puppy's first months, the Puppy Universe is an excellent place to start. OLDER PÂTÉ, with 65% duck and chicken, has been developed for the senior dog's golden years, when appetite can turn capricious and a soft, aromatic meal is often the difference between an empty bowl and a half-finished one.
Next come needs and preferences. CONTOUR PÂTÉ is composed for dogs whose weight needs keeping in check, and if you are unsure whether your dog is where it ought to be, it is well worth reading our guide to a healthy weight in dogs and counting the calories from PÂTÉ when it is used as a topping. If your dog has a sensitive digestion or reacts to particular protein sources, you can filter by ingredient and choose a simple composition based on fish, lamb or wild boar — a grain-free recipe with human-grade ingredients and a high proportion of fresh and dried meat or fish. Our nutritional advisers know every single recipe by heart and are always happy to help you put together a plan, whether you reach them by telephone, chat or email.
PÂTÉ as a complete meal or a topping
If you serve PÂTÉ as the entire meal, the quantity should be matched to your dog's weight and activity level, exactly as with your dog's other meals. If you use it as a topping, one simple rule applies: whatever you add on top must be deducted from the kibble. That way you preserve the nutritional balance and avoid extra flavour quietly turning into extra kilos over time. Many owners find that a single tablespoon of PÂTÉ is enough to make the bowl irresistible, whatever their dog's daily routine looks like.
PÂTÉ is also wonderful for enrichment. Spread across a licking mat, the meal becomes a calm, focused moment — a welcome distraction at the vet's, on rainy days indoors, or whenever your dog needs to settle. The mat can be frozen, which extends the pleasure considerably.
Serving, storage and the details of everyday life
Serve PÂTÉ at room temperature. Food straight from the fridge dulls the aroma, and for dogs the scent is half the experience. Once opened, a tin should be covered, kept refrigerated and used within two days. Always transition gradually between varieties over four to seven days, so the digestive system has time to adjust, and keep fresh water available at all times, even though PÂTÉ itself contributes moisture.
Establish a steady rhythm
Set feeding times bring calm to the digestion and make it easier to notice when appetite begins to change. Pair PÂTÉ with treats of the same high standard, so that nutrition holds together throughout the whole day — from the morning meal to the final reward before bedtime.
