Rawternative: the closer look
The range
Four products in one range, Rawternative 80/20 Cold-Pressed. Beef leads one recipe, chicken another and duck the third. Each label names every stage, puppy to senior. The whole range is grain free, and joint support is on every product.
Ingredients
Beef leads one recipe, with chicken and duck on the others. All four are grain free, and all four list glucosamine and chondroitin for joint support. Linseed, salmon oil, yucca and both a prebiotic and a probiotic go in too.
Nutrition
Protein as fed is high at 51.2 to 56.2%, with fat of 16.9 to 17.9% and energy of 364 to 390 kcal per 100g. Nutritional balance reads Outstanding on all four recipes, and protein and processing is Outstanding on three.
Strengths
- Joint support on all four recipes
- Nutritional balance and transparency Outstanding
- High protein as fed across the range
Limitations
- Cold pressed only, with no raw or wet
- A single recipe sits a band below the others
- A small range of four products
Where it is less of a fit
- If raw or wet is what you feed, check the format list, as all four recipes are cold pressed
- If you like to rotate through a long list, check the range, which holds four recipes
- If uneven scoring bothers you, check protein and processing, which sits at Good on one
Score overview
