90.9/100Outstanding

RawAdult

Flavour

Three raw recipes that do exactly what the name says, with no ground bone named anywhere, and all three hold our Outstanding band. They are for dogs that do better without bone and owners who handle that side themselves. The Beef and the Lamb take meat and offal from a single species, which is rarer than it sounds.

Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs that struggle with ground bone
Owners who add their own bone or calcium source and want control of the amount
A strict single-animal plan, via the Beef or the Lamb
Organ meat in a real share: heart, liver and kidney
Any size of dog, with a guide running from 5kg to 40kg

Worth watching

Calcium figures that read firmer than a boneless recipe usually gives, so ask Benyfit before one becomes the whole diet
Ox organs in the Turkey, the one label that mixes species
High fat across all three, for a dog that puts weight on easily

What's in it

Lamb trim50%Muscle trim carries the meat share; no bone anywhere.
Lamb heart20%A muscle, not true offal, dense in taurine and B vitamins.
Lamb liver10%A generous share, and the only organ here.
Carrot9%
Parsnip8%
Broccoli3%
Flaxseed oil, kelp, psyllium huskOmega 3, iodine and a little soluble fibre, in place of a vitamin premix.
Turmeric, celery seeds, alfalfa, nettles, clivers, wild yamTrace level. Read as character, not a dose.

No added vitamin and mineral panel; the botanical blend on the label stands in for one.

No bone on the label, yet calcium reads 3.1% of dry matter. Ask Benyfit before building a whole diet on it.

Named ingredients

50% Lamb Trim, 20% 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

Animals on the label: Lamb only; Cattle only in the Beef; turkey with ox organs in the Turkey
Kidney: None; Ox kidney at 5% in the other two
Protein, dry matter: 40.2%; 34.8% and 36.8%
Energy: 163 kcal per 100g; 209 and 173 in the others

For a single-species plan, the leanest and most protein-led of the three.

Three raw recipes at 80% animal, all of it named muscle trim and organ, with no ground bone on any label. Carrot at 9%, parsnip at 8% and broccoli at 3% make up the rest, and a botanical blend of kelp, flaxseed oil, psyllium husk and herbs replaces a vitamin premix.

Heart runs at 20% or 30% depending on the flavour. Fat converts to between 38.1% and 49.4% of dry matter and protein to between 34.8% and 40.2%. The Beef and the Lamb keep to one species; the Turkey takes its organs from cattle.
