RawPuppyAdult

Flavour

The fullest label Bella + Duke prints: 80% named animal with every cut given a percentage, and the botanicals dosed too. Six recipes share that frame, and all six hold our Outstanding band. Each is written for puppies, adults and older dogs alike.

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

Owners who buy supplements separately; turmeric, ginger, spirulina and kelp are already in
Dogs kept to one animal, with the beef and lamb tubs single species
A puppy and an older dog fed from the same freezer
A dog that needs its dinner concentrated. The duck is the richest
Rotation feeders, as the six differ only in the animals

Worth watching

Four tubs pair two animals, so read the tub, not the name, when excluding a meat
No calcium figure anywhere in the range, worth a thought for a large-breed puppy
Frozen raw: thaw in the fridge, then wash bowls and hands

Against the range

Animals: Chicken 56%, lamb 24%; Beef and lamb tubs keep to one animal.
Fat, dry matter: 22.1%; Among the leanest; the duck is 38.5%.
Energy: 105 kcal per 100g; Lighter than most of the range.

Lean and generous in the bowl, with lamb doing the organ work.

Every tub is 80% named animal, with meat, tripe, liver, kidney, trachea and bone each given a percentage, and bone at 3% throughout. Vegetables make 16% in five equal shares, then blueberries, olive oil and kelp at 1% each, and a botanical tail of turmeric, ginger, spirulina and black pepper.

Protein converts to between 46.4% and 64.0% of dry matter and fat to between 22.0% and 38.5%. No tub prints a calcium figure. What changes is the animal: beef and lamb stay single species, the other four pair two.
