I have stopped buying this food for my springer as the layer of solid fat at the bottom of the tin is increasing with every purchase, and now I've started to find large chunks of solid fat running through the meat. I've tried swapping varieties and sometimes you get lucky with a batch that doesn't have this, but of you get a batch that does you can throw up to 50 grams of the tin weight away just in solid fat. I've complained to zooplus and posted up pictures, but they never publish my reviews. Such a shame as it was great to have a pure meat food for this price, but it seems they make up their cheaper price with fat.

I've just found this food and I love it. Its the only thing my dog will eat. What a shame to read this. I've got the tins and the foil trays. Literally just fed her and I do also see fat at the bottom. I've simply not given it to her instead using the meat. A shame to throw away but this is Literally all she'll eat! Hopefully Rocco see your comment and take into consideration.

Have you tried Wolf Of Wildnerness or Lukullus? They are more expensive, but often you can get them on deals that make it similar price to Rocci and my dog loves both, plus no wastage. Lukullus does have some potato in it, but only 4%. I agree it is very disappointing that this all -meat product has this issue - if it didn't it would be my first choice.

Is this really a bad thing? What I've noticed about Rocco is that it's a lot denser than others (it's even hard to scrape out of the tin) so I would expect that the fat does solidify because it has nowhere else to go - the rest of the food is pure meat offal and muscle. Dog food should have fat in (I think I read 8-15% though not completely sure) so although it seems like a lot when looking at it solidified, by weight, it doesn't make up a huge amount of the food. My other go to foods are lukkullus and Wolf of wilderness and also zooplus Bio/organic - these are much wetter so the fat I assume is in the wet broth/jelly parts and still liquid. I prefer Roccos because it is pure meat and little moisture - I feel like it's a waste to ship water in tins when I add water anyway, along with home cooked veggies etc. In my experience, Rocco works out as the purest and best value for mixing into a home cooked diet.

I had the same thoughts, but the fat is concentrated at the bottom,, so you end up giving one massive dose of fat (I've weighed it at 50 grams average) in the meal taken from the bottom of the tin ( I usually throw it away -so wasted weight). Dogs should have fat, but not all the fat from 800 grams coagulated at the bottom of the tin, I think. If your dog is happy on it, great stuff. I feed mine Lukullus now and whilst it does have some carbs in it, her poos seem better with that, so each to their own.

Jaren Rocco tot volle tevredenheid gekocht. Tot een paar weken geleden : 24 blikken gel. Dus dit was ook de laatste keer.

Rocco has been sold out on Zooplus for a while. I wonder if this is a supplychain problem or if we won't be able to import it to the UK any longer.... does anyone have any info?
Stigofthedump Stigofthedump 2 years ago
Also, what dog food is similar to Rocco and affordable? My dog has only ever had a mix of Rocco and Skinners and we are very happy with him on it. I wondered about Naturediet Purely? Any thoughts appreciated.
Alana K Stigofthedump 2 years ago
Hi there, I really recommend Forthglade as a wet food. If you're looking for one with just pure meat I suggest the Forthglade 90% range, they do many proteins and is widely available. Naturediet Purely also looks good but not sure how available is it to buy, hope this helps :)
Stigofthedump Alana K 2 years ago
Thank you Alana. Looking up Forthglade 90% now

Another good one is wolf of wilderness I use the multibuy trays but they have large tins also https://www.bitiba.co.uk/shop/dogs/wet_dog_food/wolf_of_wilderness
Rebecca Mckeown Stigofthedump 2 years ago
I think it's a supply chain issue. I asked their customer support if they knew when the food would be back in stock and they said they expected to get some back in but they don't know when. The other day(21st of jan) I managed to get some of the trays of Rocco(I usually buy the tins but better than nothing) so it is coming into the country at least, just difficult to get a hold of due to both the low supply and the high demand.(Which is annoying, Rocco is literally the only food I've found that my dog will consistently eat and not just leave!)
Nick M Rebecca Mckeown 2 years ago
Definitely supply chain issue into plague island, as no issues getting it on Zooplus.be
Stigofthedump Nick M 2 years ago
Thanks for the info Rebecca and Nick. I have a couple of trays of tins left. Fingers crossed it is back in stock soon.
