Flavour

Our view

Likely to suit

Working and sporting dogs, with more animal and less plant in the tub
Dogs kept to one meat: the beef and the lamb stay single species
Rotation feeding on a frame that never changes
A dog that needs its dinner concentrated; the duck tub is the richest
Households filling a freezer, with boxes from 4kg to 20kg

Worth watching

Six of the eight bring in a second animal, and the beef tripe tub carries duck
No calcium figure on any tub, which matters for a large breed
Freezer room, an overnight fridge thaw and a careful wash-up come with raw

Named ingredients

Grass-fed Beef 85% (beef meat 46%, beef tripe 21%, beef kidney 5%, beef liver 5%, beef trachea 5%, beef bone 3%), sustainable seasonal vegetables 12% (carrots 2.4%, sprouts 2.4%, broccoli 2.4%, cauliflower 2.4%, cabbage 2.4%), blueberries 1%, sustainable hand harvested organic Scottish kelp 1%, pure olive oil 0.2%, dried algae (Schizochytrium sp.) 0.1%, beet pulp 0.04%, minerals 0.04%.

Against the range

Animals: Beef only; Lamb is the only other single-species tub.
Protein, dry matter: 57.9%; 46.5% to 63.6% across the eight.
Energy: 118 kcal per 100g; 94 on the fish up to 157 on the duck.

A single-species tub for a dog kept to one red meat.

Every tub declares 85% animal, itemised down to tripe, kidney, liver, trachea and bone, and 12% vegetables at 2.4% each. Blueberries, Scottish kelp, olive oil and dried algae close every label, so the land-meat tubs stay clear of fish.

Beef and lamb are single species; the other six add a second or third animal. The additive panel is printed per kilo in chelated forms. Bone runs at 1% to 3%, but no tub prints a calcium figure.
