RawAdult

Flavour

Frozen raw built to stand alone, each recipe keeping to a single animal. Dicalcium phosphate and a vitamin and mineral inclusion go into every label, so the calcium and micronutrition are put in deliberately, not left to balance across a week of bowls. The beef and turkey sit in our Outstanding band, the chicken behind them in Good.

Where to buy: coming soon

Live retailer links are coming soon. Once we have them from UK retailers, where to buy and the best price will appear here.

Our view

Likely to suit

Exclusion diets. Every ingredient on a label comes from the animal on the front
Raw where the maker adds the calcium on purpose
Several dogs, with the food arriving frozen by the box
Dogs of any size, toy breeds to giants

Worth watching

A minimum order of 11kg, 24 packets, so the delivery stays cold
Chicken and turkey run much leaner than the beef

Against the range

Fat, dry matter: 33.3%; 25.2% chicken, 17.9% turkey
Energy: 135.2 kcal per 100g; The most concentrated of the three
Plants: Squash, red cabbage, green beans; Same on the turkey; fruit and roots on the chicken

The richest bowl of the three, and the one for a dog with real work to do.

Each recipe keeps to one animal from top to bottom: muscle meat with minced bone, then heart and liver at 5% each. Beef and turkey take butternut squash at 10% with red cabbage and green beans; the chicken takes apple, sweet potato and carrots at 5% apiece. Every label adds dicalcium phosphate and a vitamin and mineral inclusion, but none prints an itemised panel or an energy figure. Protein runs from 52.5% to 55.0% of dry matter; fat varies widely.
