Our view

Likely to suit

Owners who buy organic as a matter of course
Dogs kept to one meat at a time, with a single animal per tub
Dogs that do better without grain or starch. The only plant matter is minced vegetables
Owners who would sooner see vegetables than a supplement list
Rotation inside one system, with five animals built to an identical recipe

Worth watching

Freezer storage, fridge thawing and the usual raw-food hygiene
No vitamins or minerals added and no calcium printed, so the meat, bone and vegetables carry it all
Very high fibre on the Lamb for a raw food

Pork and turkey meet the top standard in the hardest category; high mineral readings and moderate protein by raw standards hold the others back, the chicken most.

Against the range

Band: Good; Excellent or Outstanding on the other four.
Tub sizes: 250g and 500g; 500g only on the rest.
Protein, dry matter: 38.8%; 30.9% on the lamb up to 46.7% on the pork.

The small tub makes this the easy one to trial.

Every tub is built the same way: 67% minced organic meat with the bone minced finely through it, and 33% minced organic carrot, cabbage and parsnip or kohl rabi. Beef and pork also carry heart. Certification covers both halves of the tub, and nothing else is on any label: no premix, no oil, no supplement.

The five differ far more in the bowl than on the label. Ash runs from 7.3% to 18.8% of dry matter, which is the bone being measured, protein from 30.9% to 46.7% and fat from 31.2% to 51.2%.
