Flavour

A grain-free small-dog range in our Good band that changes only the animal from bag to bag. Every label declares 50% animal content and shows exactly how that splits between fresh, dried and stock. The additive side is the weak half: minerals and vitamins appear as bare words.

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

A dog that gets on with the recipe shape but not with one animal
Half the bag declared as named animal ingredients
Small breed homes, since the range is built and portioned for little dogs
Rotation feeding, with only the animal changing
Less common proteins, pork and venison among them

Worth watching

An omega 3 supplement with no source named, so no bag can carry a strict elimination plan alone
Salmon in the venison and tuna recipes as well as the salmon one
Fat runs from 8.7% to 15.2% of dry matter, so a flavour change shifts the energy
No trace mineral doses published on any of the six

Against the range

Fat, dry matter: 8.7%; Leanest; up to 15.2% elsewhere.
Energy: 320 kcal per 100g; Lowest of the six.
Fibre, dry matter: 4.3%; Higher than most; venison is 4.9%.

The natural pick for a small dog whose weight needs holding steady.

One recipe built six ways. Every bag declares 50% animal content and splits it into fresh, dried and stock weights, with the dried figure the one that tells you what lands in the kibble. Protein converts to 28.3% of dry matter on all six. Sweet potato carries the starch with peas and potato, and no wheat, maize, rice or barley appears anywhere.

Linseed, an unnamed omega 3 supplement and FOS and MOS at printed doses sit on every label. What varies is the animal, the fat (8.7% to 15.2% of dry matter) and a signature fruit or vegetable at a fraction of a percent.
