Cold pressedPuppyAdult

Flavour

Two grain-free cold-pressed pellets, made under pressure at low temperature where ordinary kibble is baked. The chicken sits in our Excellent band and the fish a step below in Good. Both carry joint support and a prebiotic built into the food.

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

Dogs that gulp their dinner. The pellets break up in liquid where baked kibble swells
Grain-free homes, with sweet potato, beet pulp and peas in place of cereal
Older dogs, whose owners like chondroitin and glucosamine in the food itself
Dogs settled on one kind of meat: each recipe names a single source and takes its oil from it
A house of mixed sizes, since the feeding chart runs from 1kg to past 60kg

Worth watching

Ocean fish with no species named in the fish recipe
Carbohydrate at roughly a third of dry matter, which is how a pressed pellet holds together
Pellets crumble more readily than kibble, so keep an opened bag in a dry, sealed bin

The score, in context

Chicken 77.4
Fish 64.6

Two recipes across Excellent and Good. Typical dry food: Good.

A named meat up front and a fully printed panel earn the bands; the starch a pressed pellet needs to hold its shape is what holds them back.

What's in it

Dried ground ocean fish49%No species named.
Sweet potato20%
Beet pulp, peas
Fish oilSame source as the meat.
Carrots, apples, seaweed
Chicory inulinPrebiotic.
Fennel seed, sage, thyme, nettle, oregano
Chondroitin, glucosamineNo dose printed.
Turmeric, dandelion root, rapeseed oil

The same full panel as the chicken, vitamin C and K included, with selenium as sodium selenite.

Ocean fish names no species, so the label cannot settle it for a dog avoiding one fish in particular.

Named ingredients

Dried Ground Ocean Fish 49%, Sweet Potato 20%, Beet Pulp, Peas, Fish Oil, Carrots, Apples, Seaweed, Chicory Inulin, Fennel Seed, Sage Leaf, Thyme, Nettle, Oregano, Chondroitin, Glucosamine, Tumeric, Dandelion Root, Rapeseed Oil.

Against the range

Moisture: 8.3%; 16% on the chicken, so more of each scoop is food.
Energy: 370 kcal per 100g; 360 on the chicken.
Fat, dry matter: 12.0%; 10.7% on the chicken.

The denser of the two, and the pick for a dog that does well on fish.

Both recipes are pressed at low temperature, grain free, and change only the animal at the front. That animal arrives dried and ground, and its oil comes from the same source. Sweet potato at 20% leads the plant side, then beet pulp and peas.

The tail is busier than most: chondroitin and glucosamine with no printed dose, chicory inulin, seaweed and a run of culinary herbs. The vitamin and mineral panel is printed in full, vitamin C and K included. Carbohydrate sits at 34.5% of dry matter on both.
