Fromm Pâté is a six recipe wet food line. In every recipe a named meat, its broth and its liver come first on the ingredient list, with potatoes or sweet potatoes close behind. Every recipe is 78% moisture and is labeled for all breeds.
Protein runs from 7.5% in Pâté Lamb & Sweet Potato to 10% in Pâté Chicken & Sweet Potato, as fed. The line averages 8.8% protein, against 8.3% for the 866 wet foods in our catalog. Fat spans 3% to 7%, and calories run from 956 to 1066 kcal per kg. Chicken appears in three recipes, lamb, egg and pork in two each, and duck, beef and fish in one each. Four recipes are grain free, while Pâté Beef & Barley and Pâté Lamb use pearled barley.
The tradeoffs are mostly about ingredients, not figures. All six recipes include peas or lentils and all six contain potato or sweet potato, so owners who avoid those will not find an exception here. Pork is listed in both barley recipes even though neither recipe name mentions it.
