Flavour

Naked Dog's growth range: the same 500g tubs and whole food thinking, pointed at a puppy. Three of the four carry a working organ share, and the Rabbit stays deliberately short for a pup that needs an unfamiliar protein. The one figure a puppy owner most wants, calcium, is on none of the labels.

Our view

Likely to suit

Puppies kept to one land animal: the Beef, the Chicken and the Rabbit each name only one
Growing dogs that need organ meat, with tripe, heart, liver and kidney across three recipes
A pup with a bad history on chicken and beef. Rabbit is an animal most have never met
Owners who want bone declared by name, on every label
Small pups and large ones, on a chart that runs from 5kg to 50kg

Worth watching

No calcium figure on any tub, which matters most for a large-breed puppy
Salmon oil on three labels and white fish leading the fourth, so nothing here is fish free
Freezer space fills fast, and every meal means fridge thawing and clean bowls, boards and hands

The score, in context

Surf 87.4

All four Outstanding. Typical raw food: Outstanding.

All four keep pace in fierce company, with the Surf & Turf a nose ahead and the Rabbit getting there on the shortest recipe.

What's in it

Beef heart, beef lung10% each
Beef tripe20%
Beef kidney, beef liver2.5% each
White fish with bone45%The largest entry, making the tub roughly half sea and half land.
Butternut squash, green vegetables, blueberry
Hemp seed oilIn place of salmon oil.
Kelp, inulin (chicory root)

Named ingredients

Beef Heart (10%), Beef Lung (10%), Beef Tripe (20%), Beef Kidney (2.5%), Beef Liver (2.5%), White Fish with Bone (45%), Butternut Squash, Green Vegetables, Blueberry, Hemp Seed Oil, Kelp, Inulin (Chicory Root)

Against the range

Protein, dry matter: 61.7%; 35.9% to 37.3% elsewhere
Carbohydrate: Estimated at zero; Near zero on two others, 24.7% on the Chicken
Ash, dry matter: 7.4%; Up to 13.7% on the Beef
Other animals on the label: Beef and white fish; One land animal in each of the others

The most protein in the range, and our scoring's pick of the four.

Every tub leads with a named animal, bone written in by name, and a small plant side of butternut squash, green vegetables and blueberry, closed by kelp and inulin from chicory root. No vitamin premix is added on any of them. Salmon oil or hemp seed oil supplies the omega 3s.

What varies is the organ share and the animals. The Beef, Chicken and Surf & Turf carry tripe, heart, liver or kidney; the Rabbit has none. Protein converts to between 35.9% and 61.7% of dry matter, and no label prints a calcium figure.
