Barkin Bistro Surf & Turf Raw review

Name: Barkin Bistro Surf & Turf Raw
Brand: Barkin Bistro

88/100Outstanding

RawAdultSenior

Surf & Turf earns its name on the label: chicken with bone at 45%, beef heart at 20% and mackerel at 15%. It reaches our Outstanding band. At an estimated 190 kcal per 100g it is a concentrated bowl, well clear of the 155 kcal typical for adult raw.

Where to buy: coming soon

Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs that do well on oily fish, with mackerel at 15% of every serving
Organs covered and printed: heart, liver and kidney
Busy dogs and big appetites. It is the denser of Barkin Bistro's two minces
Adults and older dogs, toy to giant

Worth watching

Chicken, beef and mackerel in one mince, so neither an exclusion diet nor a fish free bowl
Freezer space, a planned defrost and the usual clean bowls and surfaces

The score, in context

All one Outstanding. Typical raw food: Outstanding.

It keeps pace with the strongest field we cover, on its named animal share and an organ set drawn from two species.
