Flavour

Chilled logs of gently cooked food you slice into the bowl, and all eight sit in our Outstanding band. The meat leads every label, from a roll that is three quarters turkey to a beef recipe carrying chicken and beef liver. Portioning is by the thickness of the slice.

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 would sooner portion by eye than by scales
Meat-led feeding, with named animals at 65% to 75%
A puppy in the house: the All Life Stages Turkey takes puppies, adults and seniors
Small dogs, with two 400g rolls made to their scale
A single-bird plan. The Complete Nutrition Turkey keeps every animal entry to turkey
Fussy eaters, drawn by the smell of a gently cooked slice

Worth watching

The names are friendlier than the lists: the Beef Recipe carries 28% chicken, and most rolls pair two animals
Rice flour or brown rice on every label, and egg on two
No calcium figure on the All Life Stages Turkey, the roll a large-breed puppy owner would reach for
Fridge space. Rolls want using within a few days of the first slice

Against the range

Life stage: Puppy, adult and senior; Every other roll is for adults and seniors only.
Energy: 181 kcal per 100g; Among the highest here, so slices come out smaller.
Other animals on the label: Egg 4%; Egg on the Beef Recipe too; none on the rest.

The household roll, for a home feeding a puppy beside older dogs.

Meat leads every roll and every animal is named to species, at 65% to 75% of the recipe. Only the Complete Nutrition Turkey keeps to one animal; the rest pair two, and the Beef Recipe adds beef liver as a third entry.

Behind the meat the rolls barely change: potato starch binds, rice flour and psyllium fibre follow, and celery powder with vinegar preserve. Pea protein is on most labels, so a little of the protein figure is plant. Ash is printed only on the Beef Recipe and the Tender Chicken.
