RawPuppy

Flavour

Raw food rebuilt for growth, with more organ meat, more pumpkin seed and ground bone in every recipe, and all five in our Outstanding band. Each spoonful is spelled out on the label. Micronutrition comes from whole foods: there is no synthetic premix anywhere.

Our view

Likely to suit

Puppies started on raw from the outset, with recipes written for growth
Organ meat in the diet. Liver is named and quantified in four of the five
A puppy that has already met chicken: the Pork and Lamb carries none
Calcium from ground bone, out of the meat itself
Toy through to giant, as the range covers every size

Worth watching

No calcium figure on any of the five, which matters most with a large breed
Salmon oil in every recipe, and ground chicken bone in the Turkey and Haddock
Freezer space, planned defrosting and clean hands at every meal

Dog fit

Listed for puppies of every size. We give no daily figure, as several declared energy values do not sit well with their analyses, so start from ProDog's puppy guide and adjust as your puppy fills out.

All five Outstanding. Typical raw food: Outstanding.

The Chicken and Tripe edges the range by a nose, but the gaps are small enough that a puppy's own tolerance is a better guide than the ranking.

Against the range

Meat: Chicken only, 80%; Every other recipe names a second animal.
Protein, dry matter: 52.1%; Highest in the range; 36.4% in the Chicken and Tripe.
Fat, dry matter: 21.4%; The leanest here; up to 37.2% elsewhere.

A gentle place to start a puppy new to raw.

Every recipe follows one shape. A named British meat with about 10% ground bone leads, with organ meats at declared percentages behind it. Vegetables and berries, ground pumpkin seeds, wheatgrass, Irish kelp and Atlantic salmon oil close the list. Set against the adult range, the vegetables are fewer and the offal larger.

No synthetic vitamin premix appears and no additives panel is published. No cereal or pulse features. Protein converts to between 36.4% and 52.1% of dry matter and fat to between 21.4% and 37.2%. What changes is the meat pairing and the organ.
