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

All five Excellent. Typical wet food: Excellent.

The five finish close together, so the choice is about which animal your dog does best on.

Named ingredients

60.0% Venison (Heart, Meat, Liver, Lung, Tripe), 28.2% Venison Stock, 2.0% Parsley Root, 2.0% Courgettes, 2.0% Sweet Potatoes, 1.0% Celeriac, 1.0% Cranberries, 1.0% Pear, 1.0% Plum, 1.0% Chestnut, 0.1% Eggshell Powder, 0.1% Herbs (Thyme, Rosemary), 0.1% Wheat Germ Oil, 0.1% Desiccated Coconut, 0.1% Spirulina, 0.1% Silica, 0.1% Omega-3-Extract, 0.1% Seaweed Calcium.

Against the range

Meat: Venison; Beef, chicken, lamb and turkey in the others.
Wheat: Wheat germ oil at 0.1%; None in the other four.
Fruit: Cranberries, pear and plum; Less fruit in the others.

A sensible first stop for a dog that has already met the usual meats.

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.
