Our view

Likely to suit

Raw feeders after a proper organ share: heart, tripe, kidney and liver
Dogs that need starch off the plate
Rotation across five animals on one construction
Short freezer space, with 500g tubs
Puppies and older dogs together, as four labels cover every life stage

Worth watching

Salmon oil in all five, so none is fish free
Beef organs in the poultry tubs; check the full list
No calcium figure on any label
Freezer for the tubs, fridge for the thaw, raw hygiene after every meal

Five recipes across Excellent and Good. Typical raw food: Outstanding.

Raw sets a high bar, so landing just under the typical raw food is good company; among the four at the top, let the animals decide.

What's in it

Turkey and bone65%
Beef fat5%
Beef kidney, beef liver2.5% each
Salmon oil0.5%Omega 3, and the reason fish is on every list.
Butternut squash, carrot5%, 5%
Seasonal greens3%The only category entry; on a strict exclusion diet the vegetable needs a name.
Raspberry and blueberry, kelp1%, 0.5%

The printed percentages add up to 90%, so a tenth of the recipe is not itemised.

No calcium figure, and no added premix. Ask your vet before a large-breed puppy eats it.

Fat, dry matter: 22.4%, the lowest; Up to 51.7%
Label total: 90%; 100% on the others

The leanest tub of the five, and the one that sits a band lower.

Five raw tubs on one blueprint: a lead muscle meat, a bone-in cut for the calcium, two or three organ meats and salmon oil at 0.5%, then butternut squash, carrot, seasonal greens, berries and kelp. Every entry carries a percentage. There is no added vitamin or mineral premix and no printed calcium figure.

Most flavours pair more than one animal. Carbohydrate runs from nothing to 9.6% of dry matter and fat from 22.4% to 51.7%.

Pricing & size

Price per kilo: £6.76 (RRP)
Pack: 500 g tub (the only purchasable variation - the `Pot Size` attribute on some products still lists a `1kg` term, but no 1 kg variation exists in the variation JSON and the rendered dropdown offers 500 g only)
A 15kg dog eats: 375 g a day
Cost per day, 15kg dog: £2.54

Fed to the label, a 15kg dog eats 375 grams a day of any tub, so the daily cost follows the price per kilo.

Middle of the raw shelf, and good value for what is in the recipe.
