Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs who do better on variety, with ten labels swapping the meat on one construction
Owners who want the meat, offal and vegetable shares printed
Dogs steering round the everyday meats, with rabbit, venison and duck on offer
Several dogs in one home, toy breeds to giants

Worth watching

Wheatgerm oil in the blend despite the 0% grain claim
Fish in every recipe, and beef organs in eight of the ten
Frozen delivery, a fridge thaw and a clean bowl after every meal

What's in it

Chicken with bone40%Keeps the bone where the rest of the range sits.
Venison35%Lean, strongly flavoured, and uncommon in a complete raw recipe.
Beef heart, liver, kidney5%, 3%, 2%The working offal set. Liver carries more nutrition per gram than anything else here.
Carrot, butternut squash, broccoli, kalePart of the 15% vegetable and superfood share.
Sesame, chia and sunflower seedsFibre and fats.
Salmon oil, wheatgerm oilSalmon oil means fish is in the bowl; wheatgerm oil is pressed from wheat.
Chicory powder, blueberry powder, spirulinaChicory's inulin feeds the good gut bacteria.

Salmon oil in the blend, so this recipe is not fish free.

Against the range

Meat: Chicken 40% and venison 35%; The only deer meat on the Nutriment list
Protein, dry matter: 46.0%; Right at the top of the range
Energy: 178 kcal per 100g; The concentrated end

The way to get venison into a raw week without giving up the bone balance.

Every pack prints its split: 85% fresh meat, offal and bone against 15% vegetables and superfoods, or 80% to 20% on the two rabbit recipes, with no grain or filler. Beef heart, liver and kidney back the lead animal on eight of the ten, and the same vegetable, seed and oil blend runs through the range.

There is no vitamin and mineral panel: bone, organ meat, seeds and oils carry the micronutrition. Protein converts to between 44.2% and 46.1% of dry matter on every recipe, while fat runs from 21.4% on the rabbit to 44.2% on the salmon and turkey.
