89.5/100Outstanding

RawAdult

Flavour

Four raw recipes, one idea repeated four ways, and all four reach our Outstanding band. Almost every entry on every label carries a percentage, and with no premix the ox organs do the micronutrition. They sit close enough together that choosing by the animal on the front makes good sense.

Where to buy: coming soon

Our view

Likely to suit

Raw feeders who like to rotate, with one construction and a different animal each time
Owners who want percentages, not adjectives
Dogs kept off grain: carrots, butternut and green leaf take the cereal's place
Mixed households, from toy dogs to giants

Worth watching

Ox heart, liver and kidney in every recipe, so none holds to one animal
Frozen packs, a fridge thaw and a proper clean-up come with feeding raw

The score, in context

Chicken 90.7

All four Outstanding. Typical raw food: Outstanding.

Raw is the toughest company we score, and all four hold the top band anyway, separated by fine detail rather than anything fundamental.

What's in it

Beef flank30%The only recipe led by red meat.
Chicken30%Shares the lead.
Veal bones10%The calcium, and the only bone printed as its own line.
Carrots8%
Heart, ox liver7%, 6%The organ share steps up here. Liver is a rich source of vitamin A, B12 and copper.
Butternut3%
Green leaf3%The plant behind it is never named, odd on a list this precise.
Ox kidney
KelpThe whole-food answer to iodine.
Flaxseed oil1%

The printed ash looks low for a recipe with veal bones, and the fibre high for this little plant matter. Go by the ingredients list.

Named ingredients

Beef Flank 30%, Chicken 30%, Veal bones 10%, Carrots 8%, Heart 7%, Ox liver 6%, Butternut 3%, Green leaf 3%, Ox Kidney, Kelp, flaxseed oil 1%

Against the range

Meat: Beef flank and chicken, 30% each; One bird leads the other three
Bone: Veal bones 10%; No bone line on the others
Energy: 138 kcal per 100g; 182 to 194 on the others

The lightest recipe, so portions run largest.

Every recipe follows one construction: a large named meat, ox heart, liver and kidney behind it, then carrots, butternut and green leaf, with kelp and flaxseed oil at 1% at the end. There is no cereal, no unnamed fat and no vitamin premix, so the offal carries the micronutrition.

The lead meat runs from 58% to 78%, or splits across beef and chicken. Protein converts to between 40.7% and 45.9% of dry matter and fat to between 39.8% and 43.3%, so every bowl is rich.
