71.4/100Excellent

Cold pressedAdult

A cold-pressed beef recipe with a bit of theatre: wagyu named at the top, and a label that holds up behind it. The 26% vegetable block is spelled out in brackets, and the rest is grain free. It takes our Excellent band, a step above where cold-pressed food usually settles.

Our view

Likely to suit

Beef-loving dogs whose owners want the cut named
Dogs kept off cereals; potato, sweet potato and legumes supply the starch
Older dogs and big breeds, with glucosamine, green lipped mussel and chondroitin on the list
Owners who like each vegetable named

Worth watching

Chicken gravy and egg powder, so not a beef-only bowl
Green lipped mussels, for a shellfish-free household

The score, in context

Dougie's Wagyu Beef Cold Pressed 71.4

All one Excellent. Typical dry food: Good.

Naming the beef to the breed and itemising the vegetables lift it, and a 32% meat share with potato protein in the mix keeps it from climbing further.

What's in it

Beef: wagyu beef meal, beef greaves, beef fat32% (min 15% wagyu)Greaves is the protein-rich material left after rendering. Wagyu is marbled, which explains some of the fat.
Vegetables: sweet potato, peas, chicory pulp, broad beans, carrots, pumpkin26%Itemised, so it can be judged. Chicory pulp brings inulin.
Dried potato
Chicken gravyA second animal.
Potato proteinReal protein, but it does not do the work meat protein does.
Brewer's yeast, apple fibre, egg powderB vitamins from the yeast.
Linseed, sunflower oil, chia seeds, seaweedPlant omega 3, and iodine from the seaweed.
MOS, FOSPrebiotics.
Glucosamine, yucca schidigera, green lipped mussels, chondroitin sulphateThe joint entries.
Green tea extract, parsley, rosemaryRosemary also stops the fats turning.

No additives panel and no calcium figure; the maker says the vitamins and minerals come from the ingredients.
