Nourish Complete Raw: Chicken & Tripe review

Name: Nourish Complete Raw: Chicken & Tripe
Brand: Nourish

90.7/100Outstanding

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

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

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
Beef 89.5
Turkey 89.5

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.

Against the range

Tripe: 17%; Only in this recipe
Fat, dry matter: 43.3%; 39.8% to 42.2% on the others
Chicken: 58%; 78% on the plain chicken

The richest bowl and the top scorer of the four; a dog who gains easily wants a measured hand.

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.
