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

Lamb 78.4

What's in it

Minced organic lamb67%
Finely minced bone
Minced carrot, cabbage33% with the parsnip or kohl rabi
Parsnip or kohl rabiSeasonal either-or.

Crude fibre is 17.0% of dry matter, unusually high for raw. Introduce it gently to a delicate gut.

Named ingredients

Minced organic lamb including finely minced bone (67%). Minced carrot, cabbage and parsnip or kohl rabi (33%).

Against the range

Fat, dry matter: 51.2%; The richest by a distance; the others run 31.2% to 37.5%.
Energy: 179.3 kcal per 100g; The rest sit between 125.7 and 137.7.
Fibre, dry matter: 17.0%; 1.4% to 7.3% on the others.

Much the richest tub, so it suits a lean, busy dog best.

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%.
