PetMarra meat loaf dog wet can 375g review

At around ₱69 as of August 1, 2026 for 375g, which is roughly ₱184 a kilo. Within this brand’s dog range, that is the number to know.

The can is the cheap format

The PetMarra chunks in gravy 130g pouch is around ₱34 on the same date, which is about ₱262 a kilo. The brand’s chunks in milk puppy pouch is around ₱39 for the same size.

So the can costs roughly a third less per kilo than the pouches, for the same brand’s wet food. That gap is packaging and portioning rather than recipe, and over a month of daily feeding it is real money.

What the pouch buys is a single serving with nothing left over. Which of those matters depends entirely on the size of your dog.

Can or pouch is really a question about your dog’s size

For a small dog, a 375g can is two or three meals and has to be covered, refrigerated and used within about a day. In a warm Philippine kitchen that is a discipline, and a pouch may genuinely waste less.

For a medium or large dog, a 375g can is one sitting or less. A 10kg dog needs roughly 600 to 700 kcal a day and a larger one considerably more, so the can disappears and the storage problem never arises. For those households the price per kilo is pure gain.

Work out which you are before choosing the format.

What a loaf texture solves

Meat loaf is a smooth solid block rather than chunks swimming in gravy, and it fixes two specific problems.

A dog that licks the gravy and leaves the solids will usually eat a loaf, because there is nothing to separate.

And a loaf takes medication. A crushed tablet works through a loaf in a way it cannot through chunks in liquid, where a dog will neatly eat around it. Anyone who has tried to medicate a suspicious dog twice a day knows what that is worth.

Adult only

This can is labelled for adults. The brand’s 130g pouches cover adult and puppy, and the milk version is puppy-specific.

That distinction matters more in dogs than people assume, and most of all for large breeds: a growing large-breed dog needs controlled calcium, because too much during growth is linked to skeletal problems. Adult maintenance food is not formulated for growth at all.

What the listing does not publish

No crude protein, fat or moisture figures, which is the norm across most of this page. The SmartHeart adult dog pouch is one of the few that does, at 8% protein and up to 85% moisture, roughly 53% protein by dry weight.

That means the reason to buy this can is format and price rather than a specification you can compare.

Who should buy the 375g can

Buy this if you have a medium or large dog, you want the cheapest PetMarra wet food per kilo, and your dog eats loaf.

Skip it for a small dog with no reliable fridge space, where a pouch wastes less.
