88/100Outstanding

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

Named ingredients

Lamb 85% (Muscle Meat, Rib, Lung, Liver, Heart), Pumpkin, Broccoli, Chicory, Blueberry, Kelp, Coconut Oil, Algae Oil, Minerals. Minerals (per kg): Vitamins: 3a672a / Vitamin A 6,500 IU, 3a671 / Vitamin D3 650 IU, 3a700 / Vitamin E 100 mg, 3b103 / Iron 50 mg, 3b202 / Iodine 0.78 mg, 3b405 / Copper 2.5 mg, 3b406 / Copper 2.5 mg, 3b503 / Manganese 20 mg, 3b605 / Zinc 50 mg, 3b801 / Selenium 0.15 mg.

Against the range

Protein, dry matter: 47.3%; Highest; 45.0% on the Beef, 38.1% on the Chicken
Fat, dry matter: 33.1%; The lowest of the three
Other entries: Blueberry, kelp, coconut oil; Not in the other two

With no bird in it, the natural pick for a poultry-free household.

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.
