Flavour

Bella + Duke's construction with the animal share pushed up to 85% for dogs that put in a proper shift. The vegetables drop to 12% to make room, and everything is still itemised down to the trachea. All eight tubs sit in our Outstanding band.

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

Against the range

Animals: White fish 35%, beef 25%, turkey 25%; One or two animals on the others.
Energy: 94 kcal per 100g; The lightest in the line.
Protein, dry matter: 63.6%; The highest of the eight.

The leanest tub here, with the biggest bowls of the eight.

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.
