Flavour

Seven frozen raw minces built the same short way, and all seven reach our Outstanding band. A named meat leads, ox organ follows, and a small plant share closes each one. The catch is that the name on the front does not always settle which animals are inside.

Our view

Likely to suit

Owners who rotate: beef, chicken, duck, lamb and turkey across the line
A dog kept to one animal. Beef & Tripe stays bovine and Lamb & Tripe stays ovine
Dogs that must have no starch, since no label carries a cereal, potato or pulse
A small dog and a large one fed from the same freezer, the guide running from toy to giant
Fussy eaters, who tend to find unwashed tripe hard to refuse

Worth watching

Chicken in the Beef mince and ox organ in the poultry ones
No calcium figure printed on any label, a question for the maker if it matters to your dog
Freezer room and kitchen hygiene: defrost overnight in the fridge, then wash bowls and surfaces properly

Against the range

Meat: Chicken 78%; Turkey is the same recipe with a different bird.
Energy: 191 kcal per 100g; 138 on the Beef, 218 on the Lamb & Tripe.
Other animals on the label: Ox heart, liver, kidney; As in most of the line.

One of the denser minces, for a dog that eats chicken and ox happily.

Every mince follows one pattern: a named meat well out in front, then ox heart, liver and kidney, then carrots, butternut and green leaf, with kelp and flaxseed oil at 1% to finish. No cereal, potato or pulse appears anywhere, and organ meat does the work of a vitamin premix.

Only the Beef itemises bone, at 10%, and no label prints a calcium figure. Protein converts to between 37.3% and 45.8% of dry matter and fat to between 39.8% and 45.8%. Tripe turns up in three recipes.
