Riverwood is a grain-free brand built on wet food, with a smaller dry list beside it. All 17 products are flagged grain free, and the mono protein tins keep to one meat each. The brand average sits in our Excellent band, and transparency reads Outstanding on every product. Duck and venison lead the proteins, with turkey, salmon, goat and lamb behind them.

In detail
Riverwood: the closer look
The range
Seventeen products split into 11 wet and six dry. The Mono Protein Wet Food range is the largest at eight tins, and Fish Sausage adds three more. The dry side holds Adult Dry, Puppy Dry, Junior Large Breed and Adult Large Breed Dry, so puppies and large breeds each get their own bag.
Ingredients
Duck and venison lead by product count, with turkey, salmon, goat and lamb behind them. Every product is flagged grain free and five are single protein. The dry recipes name glucosamine, chondroitin and yucca on the label, and six products carry a joint-support flag.
Nutrition
The wet tins are light, at 10.4% to 11.4% protein as fed in the mono protein range and 92 to 128 kcal per 100g. The dry runs far denser, from 28.0% protein in Adult Dry up to 39.0% in Puppy Dry, with energy of 400 kcal per 100g there. Nutritional balance reads Outstanding on 13 products.
Strengths
- Grain free across all 17 products
- Outstanding transparency on every product
- Joint extras named on the dry labels
Limitations
- No raw or cold-pressed food
- The dry list is only six products
- One dry recipe reads a band lower
Where it is less of a fit
- If you want a raw diet, check the formats here, as the range is wet and dry only
- If you want a big kibble list, check the dry side, since six of the 17 products are dry
- If you want every recipe to read the same, check the Adult Dry range, where one product sits in our Good band
Score overview
Transparency carries the band read, Outstanding on all 17 products, and nutritional balance is Outstanding on 13 of them. Protein and processing is the softer pillar, Excellent on 11 and Good on six. Every wet range reads Excellent, and the one product below the rest is a dry recipe in our Good band.
The average score is the mean of each product's overall score out of 100 (using the best-scoring variety per product), not a flat average across every variety.
