Flavour

Single-animal pouches that print exactly what the meat is made of, all four in our Excellent band. The lung, liver, heart or stomach is weighed inside the headline meat share. There is not a cereal on any label.

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 kept to one named animal
Owners who like the offal spelled out, each cut at its own percentage
Grain-avoiding homes
Rotation feeders with a dog that tires of one flavour
Poor drinkers. Three quarters or more of each serving is moisture

Worth watching

Energy runs from 87 to 131 kcal per 100g, so portions change when you switch
Spirulina at 0.5% and berries at 2% season the pouch more than feed it
The duck is built on a different plant list, so it is not a straight swap

Four pouches that match pillar for pillar, the shape of a range built to one recipe, with the duck keeping pace on less meat.

Against the range

Protein, dry matter: 50.0%; The highest in the range.
Energy: 92 kcal per 100g; Lightest of the sweet potato three.
Fat, dry matter: 23.5%; Up to 33.3% in the beef.

The leanest of the three that share a base, with the most protein in the range.

Each pouch is one animal: beef, chicken and turkey declared at 60% and duck at 55%, with the organs and trimmings weighed at 4% apiece inside that figure. No cereal appears on any label. Beef, chicken and turkey share a sweet potato, berry and spirulina base; the duck has its own plant list.

Yucca, green tea and rosemary extracts sit at trace level at the tail. The added panels are short and dosed, and vitamin A and copper come and go between flavours.
