Rathlin Raw Complete: Beef and Green Tripe with Vegetables and Berries review

Name: Rathlin Raw Complete: Beef and Green Tripe with Vegetables and Berries
Brand: Rathlin Raw

84.9/100Outstanding

RawAdultSenior

Flavour

Three frozen beef minces on one blueprint, two in our Outstanding band and the plain beef a step behind in Excellent. Ground bone and organ meat carry the minerals here, with no premix at all. One version adds chicken meat, one swaps a third of the beef for tripe.

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

Dogs settled on red meat, since beef leads every recipe
Older dogs as much as adults: the whole range is listed for seniors
Owners who want bone and organs doing the work of a premix
A fussy eater. The tripe version is the one to reach for
Rotating within beef without changing the animal your dog knows

Worth watching

Chicken bone in every recipe, so none of them is beef alone
Salmon oil on all three lists
Frozen chubs need freezer room, a fridge thaw and the usual clean-up round the bowl

The score, in context

Beef 86.0
Beef 84.9
Beef 79.5

Three recipes across Outstanding and Excellent. Typical raw food: Outstanding.

The two mixed minces sit in the strongest company any format keeps on our scoring, and the beef on its own is a step behind, so choose on the animal and the richness.

What's in it

Beef35%
Beef tripe34%Strong smelling and reliably tempting.
Seasonal vegetables and fruits10%Carrots, spinach, broccoli, blueberries and raspberries as the season allows.
Chicken bone10%The calcium source, and chicken in a beef mince.
Ox kidney5%
Liver5%The one liver across the range that names no animal.
Islander Rathlin Kelp, salmon oil0.5% each

The liver is not attributed to a species, unlike the ox liver in the other two.

Named ingredients

35% Beef, 34% Beef Tripe, 10% Seasonal Vegetables and fruits (carrots, spinach, broccoli, blueberries and raspberries - the combinations vary in line with seasonal availability), 10% Chicken Bone, 5% Ox Kidney, 5% Liver, 0.5% Islander Rathlin Kelp and 0.5% Salmon Oil.

Against the range

Moisture: 75.0%; The wettest; 65.0% on the beef.
Energy: About 120.4 kcal per 100g; The lightest of the three.
Protein, dry matter: 52.0%; The highest in the range.

The one for a dog who has gone quiet about dinner.

One blueprint filled three ways. Beef leads, chicken bone at 10% supplies the calcium, and kidney and liver take 5% each. A tenth of each mince is seasonal vegetables and fruit (carrots, spinach, broccoli, blueberries, raspberries), with kelp and salmon oil closing at 0.5% apiece.

No cereal, no pulse and no synthetic premix on any label: the organs and bone do the work a premix would. The analyses differ more than the lists suggest, with protein from 31.4% to 52.0% of dry matter and moisture from 65.0% to 75.0%.
