Ruff's Recipes dog food review
Ruff's Recipes is mostly wet food, with a small dry list alongside it. Twenty one products sit in our Excellent band overall, and transparency reads Outstanding on all but one recipe. Grain free covers most of the catalogue. Format is the thing that shapes the choice: the wet trays and cartons all read Excellent, and every dry recipe reads Good.

The range
Twenty one products, sixteen wet and five dry. The wet side holds cartons, grain-free trays, adult wet, ancient grains trays and two puppy lines. The dry side is four adult recipes and one for puppies. Sixteen labels are adult feeding and five are puppy.
Ingredients

Strengths
- Outstanding transparency on twenty recipes
- Wet food that reads Excellent throughout
- Grain free across most of the range
Limitations
- The dry recipes read a band below the wet
- Only two products flagged single protein
- No raw, cold-pressed or fresh food
Where it is less of a fit
- If you want the dry food to read like the wet, check the dry list, as those recipes sit a band lower at Good
- If you want raw or cold-pressed food, check the formats here, since this range is wet and dry only
- If your dog needs one named protein, check the labels, as only two products are flagged single protein
Score overview
Transparency does the heavy lifting, Outstanding on twenty of the twenty one recipes, and value reads Excellent on sixteen. Nutritional balance is Outstanding across most of the wet food. Protein and processing is the mixed pillar, Good on six recipes and Average on four, and the five Good bands are all dry.
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.
