Flavour

Cold-pressed food with a fresh meat bill closer to raw than to kibble: 55% of one animal and 30% of a second in every bag. The chicken reaches our Outstanding band and the pork, salmon and turkey sit a step behind in Excellent. The botanical blend is printed in full, down to the trout oil.

Energy: 370 kcal per 100g; Highest of the four.

The richest bowl, and the only one with no chicken in the meat bill.

Every recipe declares one fresh animal at 55% and a second at 30%, a meat bill that reads more like raw than kibble. A partially hydrolysed starch supplies the carbohydrate, a named fruit or vegetable takes 4%, and the Orygoformula botanical blend closes each label at 2.6%, with trout oil and egg membrane inside it.

Carbohydrate runs from 32.9% to 40.2% of dry matter across the four, under the 43.2% typical for cold-pressed food, and ash from 8.5% to 11.0%. Three print a vitamin and mineral panel; the Chicken with Carrot does not.
