Flavour

Eight raw recipes cut from one pattern, every one in our Outstanding band. Each tub is 80% named animal with every entry carrying a percentage, so you can read a label in seconds and know exactly what is inside. Flavour is what decides between them.

Our view

Likely to suit

Raw feeders who like a plain 80% animal figure
Exclusion plans. The Lamb and the Succulent Beef each keep to one animal from meat to organ
Rotating, since only the species move between recipes
Dogs that need starch off the menu
Households of any size, with the label guiding from a 5kg dog to a 40kg one

Worth watching

Beef organ in most recipes and lamb tripe in several, so the tub front does not settle the animals inside
Richness moves a long way between flavours, so rethink portions when you switch
Freezer space, an overnight defrost and clean hands and bowls afterwards

What's in it

Lamb trim50%The only recipe with no bone.
Lamb tripe, lamb heart, lamb liver10% eachOne animal from meat to organ.
Carrot9%
Parsnip8%With the carrot, part of why the carbohydrate estimate is not zero.
Broccoli3%
Botanicals: flaxseed oil, kelp, turmeric, celery seeds, alfalfa, nettles, psyllium husk, clivers, wild yamIn place of a vitamin premix. Flaxseed for omega 3, kelp for iodine, psyllium for soluble fibre.

No vitamin and mineral premix is published; the botanical blend stands in for one.

Ash at 14.7% and the carbohydrate estimate at 22.9% of dry matter sit oddly on a label with no bone and no cereal, so read the list over the figures.

Named ingredients

50% Lamb Trim, 10% Lamb Tripe, 10% Lamb Heart, 10% Lamb Liver, 9% Carrot, 8% Parsnip, 3% Broccoli, Botanicals Including: Flaxseed Oil, Kelp, Turmeric, Celery Seeds, Alfalfa, Nettles, Psyllium Husk, Clivers & Wild Yam.

Against the range

Bone: None; Bone or carcass in the other seven.
Other animals on the label: Lamb only; Ox organs in six of the others.
Nutritional balance: Good; Outstanding on the other seven.

The cleanest single-protein tub in the range, for a dog that suits lamb.

Every tub is 80% named animal, itemised to the percentage, with carrot at 9%, parsnip at 8% and broccoli at 3% behind it and no cereal anywhere. Ox heart, liver and kidney turn up again and again. Six recipes put bone in the meat entry and the Duck uses a whole carcass, so ground bone does the calcium work, which runs from 1.57% to 3.1% of dry matter.

There is no vitamin and mineral premix; a botanical blend takes its place. Fat and energy move a long way between flavours, and the carbohydrate estimate swings from 2.9% to 22.9% of dry matter.
