Our view

Likely to suit

Raw feeders who want the whole recipe declared, herbs and all
Active and working dogs, with the energy of a meat-and-bone recipe
Owners who like to steer richness, since fat moves meaningfully between flavours
Dogs that thrive on organ meat. Heart, liver and kidney are in every flavour

Worth watching

Beef organs in every flavour, so the chicken, lamb and turkey are not single-animal recipes
The usual raw routine: freezer space, fridge defrosting and clean bowls
