In detail
Years: the closer look
The range
Sixteen fresh products sit in four ranges. The Complete Nutrition System and the Chef's Collection hold five each, with three in the Puppy Complete Nutrition System and three in Cupboard Fresh Retail. Adult is the most common label at 13 products, with eight puppy and five senior.
Ingredients
Beef leads on five products and chicken on three, with salmon, pork and turkey behind them. Lamb and wild boar turn up in the Chef's Collection. Fifteen products are flagged grain free and three single protein. Taurine is the label extra across all four ranges.
Nutrition
Fresh food carries a lot of water, so the figures read low. Protein as fed is 11.7 to 13.6% across the Complete Nutrition System recipes and 1.2 to 12.3% on the Chef's Collection. Energy runs 140 to 177 kcal per 100g on most of the range. Nutritional balance reads Outstanding on 12 recipes.
Strengths
- Outstanding transparency on all 16 products
- Fresh food for puppies, adults and seniors
- Fifteen products flagged grain free
Limitations
- Fresh only, with no dry, wet or raw
- Nutritional balance reads Poor on one recipe
- Three products flagged single protein
Where it is less of a fit
- If you want dry or wet food, check the formats here, as every product is fresh
- If nutritional balance matters most, check that pillar recipe by recipe, since one reads Poor and two read Good
- If you feed a single protein, check the labels, as three products carry that flag
Score overview
Every pillar carries this one. Transparency reads Outstanding on all 16 products, with value Outstanding on 15 and protein and processing Outstanding on 15. Nutritional balance is where the range varies, Outstanding on 12 recipes, Good on two and Poor on one. Three of the four ranges read Outstanding throughout, and the Chef's Collection holds the single Good product.
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.
