73.1/100Excellent

FreshPuppyAdult

Built for the dog whose usual meats have stopped working, in our Excellent band. There is no chicken or beef on the label; lamb, turkey and pork do the work, and the cuts are named right down to the pork tongue. Protein converts to 47.5% of dry matter.

Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs that have reacted to chicken or beef
Owners who want to see the actual cuts, from lamb fore to pork kidney
Dogs new to pork, a meat plenty have never eaten
Puppies, adults and older dogs, all listed
A gently prepared fresh meal without raw handling

Worth watching

Three animals in the bowl and the fresh veg not named, so ask the kitchen if your dog avoids a plant
Ground bone lifts calcium to 2.41% of dry matter, a figure that matters for a large breed puppy
Fridge or freezer storage, used promptly once opened

The score, in context

Jessica's K9 Kitchen Jessica's Stew - Allergen Friendly 73.1

All one Excellent. Typical fresh food: Outstanding.

What holds it just under the fresh field's mark is the label, not the dinner: no printed panel, general vegetable wording and estimated calories.

What's in it

Fresh meat, offal and bone (80/10/10)60%Roughly the proportions of a whole prey animal
Fresh veg40%Not named; part of why carbohydrate reaches 20.0% of dry matter
Lamb lean fore, turkey leg, pork legThe muscle meat
Pork tongue, pork heartWorking muscles, not true offal. The sort of thing a small kitchen buys and a factory rarely bothers with
Pork kidney, pork liverLiver carries vitamin A, B12, copper and folate in real concentration
Turkey bone, finely groundThe calcium, and plenty of it

No added vitamin and mineral panel on the label.

Named ingredients

Fresh Meat/offal/bone (80/10/10) 60%, Fresh Veg 40%, Muscle Meat - Lamb (lean fore), Turkey leg, pork leg, Pork tongue, Pork heart. Offal - Pork kidney, Pork liver, Bone - Turkey finely ground

Against the range

One fresh stew with no chicken and no beef. Meat, offal and bone in 80/10/10 proportions make up 60%, and unnamed fresh vegetables the other 40%, a larger plant share than most kitchens working this way use. Lamb, turkey and pork are the animals. There is no added vitamin and mineral panel, so the organ meat, bone and produce do the balancing.

Pricing & size

Price per kilo: £10.00 (RRP)
Pack: 500 g (single pack - the only size sold; multi-packs are sold as subscription boxes)
A 15kg dog eats (our estimate): 210 to 255 g a day, 235 in the middle
Cost per day, 15kg dog: £2.35

Mostly water at 79.27%, so the daily weight runs larger than a kibble's.

Premium end of the market for gently cooked fresh food, and the pillar reads the value as Excellent.
