Flavour

All five recipes land in our Outstanding band and none pulls ahead. Every animal ingredient carries a percentage and nothing arrives as a category, so these labels ask no detective work. The fixed block of beef tripe and organs gives every recipe the same backbone, which is also the one thing an exclusion diet has to plan around.

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

Raw feeders who want organ meat in every meal
A dog kept off starch entirely. No cereal, pulse or potato anywhere
Rotating proteins: beef, chicken, duck, lamb and turkey on one construction
A dog that needs tempting to the bowl, with green tripe in every recipe
Multi-dog homes, every recipe listed from toy breeds to giants

Worth watching

Beef offal and salmon oil in all five, so none keeps beef or fish out
The recipe sold as Beef takes 30% of its meat from turkey with bone
Freezer room for the tubs, fridge thawing, and washing bowls and hands afterwards

What's in it

Lamb with bone30%
Lamb heart27%The most even split of muscle and organ in the range.
Beef green tripe20%
Beef liver, beef kidney5%, 3%Liver for vitamin A, iron and B vitamins; kidney for selenium.
Carrot, green vegetables
Blueberry
Salmon oilThe long-chain omega 3, and fish in every recipe.
KelpIodine and trace minerals.

None. Salmon oil and kelp are the only supplemental sources, with no vitamin or mineral premix.

Beef tripe, liver and kidney are in this recipe, so it does not keep beef out of the bowl.

Named ingredients

Lamb with Bone (30%), Lamb Heart (27%), Beef Green Tripe (20%), Beef Liver (5%), Beef Kidney (3%), Carrot, Green Vegetables, Blueberry, Salmon Oil, & Kelp.

Against the range

Ash, dry matter: 3.3%; The lowest; the turkey reaches 12.9%.
Fat, dry matter: 36.7%; Second only to the beef's 45.7%.
Heart: Lamb heart, 27%; Beef heart in the Beef, duck heart in the Duck.

In the richer half of the range without being the richest.

Five recipes on one construction. A named meat with its bone leads, beef green tripe takes 20% (10% in the Chicken), and beef liver at 5% and beef kidney at 3% are in every one. Carrot, green vegetables and a berry make up the plant side, and salmon oil and kelp close each list.

Bone sits inside the meat share, so the calcium comes without a mineral bag, though no recipe declares a calcium figure. There is no premix. Energy is estimated across the range, from 120.5 to 188.5 kcal per 100g.
