87.8/100Outstanding

RawPuppyAdult

The lean recipe in the Paleo Plus line, in our Outstanding band. Beef tripe at 34% and pork tongue at 32% lead, and protein converts to 66.7% of dry matter against fat at 19.0%, a balance few raw minces manage. Carrot and kale at 8% each are named one by one, not lumped into a blend.

Our view

Likely to suit

Owners keeping fat down on purpose
Dogs that need a filling meal, as the portion is generous at 104 kcal per 100g
Dogs new to pork, almost a third of the label
Joint care through food, with green lipped mussel in the supplement mix
Any size of dog, toy to giant

Worth watching

Seaweed and green lipped mussel, so not for a dog kept off fish and shellfish
Beef and pork both, so no good as a single-animal elimination diet
Calcium on the modest side at 0.62% of dry matter

The score, in context

Paleo Ridge Paleo Plus Special Diet 87.8

All one Outstanding. Typical raw food: Outstanding.

Holding the raw standard while stripping the fat out is hard, and a label that names and numbers everything is what earns it.
