Flavour

Five Excellent cans built the way a butcher would build them: one animal, its cuts and organs named, then its own stock. Nothing on any label hides behind a category term. The recipes differ more in their starch than in their meat.

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

Knowing exactly which animal, and which parts of it, are in the bowl
A puppy, an adult and an older dog fed from one cupboard
One-meat diets via Country Beef, beef and its own stock only
Dogs that tire of the same dinner, with beef through to venison
Heart, liver and tripe declared by name, never folded into a derivative

Worth watching

Fish meal supplies the omega-3 in the lamb and turkey; the other three name no source
Rice in Farms Lamb and Country Chicken, and wheat germ oil in Wild Forest
No added vitamin and mineral panel, so there are no doses to check

Named ingredients

60% Chicken (Heart, Meat, Liver, Stomachs, Necks), 28.2% Chicken Stock, 4% Carrots, 3% Rice, 2% Red Currants, 1% Celery, 1% Chicory, 0.1% Egg Shell Powder, 0.1% Herbs (Dandelion, Nettles, Ribwort, Yarrow), 0.1% Rapeseed Oil, 0.1 % Coconut Flakes, 0.1% Spirulina, 0.1% Silica, 0.1% Omega-3 Extract, 0.1% Calcified Seaweed.

Against the range

Grain: Rice at 3%; Rice also in the lamb; none in the beef, turkey or venison.
Chicory: 1%; Only this can.
Carbohydrate, dry matter: 24.0%; Joint highest with the beef.

The gut-friendly choice of the five, thanks to the chicory.

Every can is 60% of one named animal with the parts listed, then that animal's own stock at 25.2% to 28.3%. Protein converts to 40.0% to 48.0% of dry matter and fat to 24.8% to 31.4%, with the offal doing much of the micronutrient work.

The finishing touches repeat at around 0.1%: eggshell powder, calcified seaweed, a named oil, silica, an omega-3 addition and herbs. No can prints an added vitamin and mineral panel. What varies is the starch, from 2.5% of dry matter on the lamb to 24.0% on the beef and chicken.
