88.7/100Outstanding

RawAdult

Flavour

Raw food frozen as small loose nuggets you can pour and portion, and all three bags sit in our Outstanding band. Each keeps to a single animal and itemises the cuts and offal. The omega 3 comes from algae oil, so no recipe puts fish in the bowl.

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

One meat at a time. Each bag names its species and no other meat appears
Fish-free households
Grain-free feeding, with pumpkin and a little veg where cereal would go
Dogs of very different builds, with a label that portions from a 5kg dog to a 40kg one
Owners who want to see which parts of the animal they are buying

Worth watching

A frozen routine: defrost a portion in the fridge, then wipe bowls, hands and worktops down
No bone in the Beef, so its calcium arrives as an added mineral
More energy per gram in the Chicken, so recheck portions when you swap

The score, in context

All three Outstanding. Typical raw food: Outstanding.

Three bags at the top of the hardest field we score, with very little between them, so pick on your dog's tastes.

What's in it

Chicken: muscle meat, meaty back, gizzard, skin, hearts85%The back carries the bone.
Pumpkin
Courgette
Chicory
Algae oilOmega 3 without fish.
Minerals

Vitamins A, D3 and E with iron, iodine, copper, manganese and zinc; the panel trails off at selenium with no figure.

The selenium line has no figure, which reads as a printing slip given the other two bags.

Against the range

Energy: 163 kcal per 100g; The densest; 147.5 on the Beef, 148.1 on the Lamb
Fat, dry matter: 38.1%; 37.2% on the Beef, 33.1% on the Lamb
Bone: Meaty back; Rib in the Lamb, none in the Beef

A dog that holds weight easily wants a slightly lighter hand here.

Each bag gives one named animal 85% or 86% of the recipe, with its cuts and offal spelled out and no category word standing in for a part. Pumpkin leads a small vegetable fraction, chicory turns up in all three, and algae oil carries the omega 3 with no fish anywhere.

What varies is bone and the mineral print. Chicken grinds in meaty back and Lamb rib, while Beef has no bone and adds its calcium as a declared mineral. The panels are printed in three different ways.
