Flavour

Five animals through one grain-free recipe, all in our Good band, so the choice comes down to what your dog eats best. Every bag splits its meat into fresh and dried shares on the label. Trying a new animal is a small decision here.

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 want the named animal at half the bag or better, fresh and dried shown separately
Dogs kept off cereal: sweet potato, potato and peas supply the starch
Fussy eaters. A dog off chicken has four other animals to try
A slightly delicate digestion, with FOS at 96 mg/kg and MOS at 24 mg/kg on every bag

Worth watching

The omega 3 supplement has no source given, so no bag can be promised fish free
Vegetable stock on every list without the vegetables named
Carbohydrate close to the typical adult dry food

Chicken 69.4
Duck 66.4

All five Good. Typical dry food: Good.

The five finish close together, separated mainly by how much protein is left once the fresh meat's water has cooked out, with the Angus beef ahead on balance.

Against the range

Carbohydrate, dry matter: 47.8%; The highest in the range.
Protein and processing: Average; Good on the other four.

The only fish bag, at the cost of the smallest dried meat share.

One grain-free recipe across five animals. Each bag declares its meat at 50% or more and splits it into freshly prepared, dried and stock or fat. The fresh share runs from 28% to 36% and the dried from 12% to 21%, which counts for more after cooking. Sweet potato leads the plant side at 23% to 26%, with potato and peas behind it.

Linseed and an unsourced omega 3 supplement carry the fats, beet pulp the fibre, and FOS and MOS are dosed on every label. Protein converts to between 27.2% and 30.4% of dry matter and carbohydrate to between 44.0% and 47.8%. Only the garnish changes from bag to bag.
