85.1/100Outstanding

RawAdult

Flavour

Six flavours of classic raw feeding: bone-in meat, organs and tripe, and a vegetable garnish. Meat dominates every tub and carbohydrate barely registers. The whole range sits in our Outstanding band, and the choice comes down to which meat suits your dog.

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 bone, organ meat and tripe doing the work
Adult dogs big and small
Rotation feeding. Six proteins share one construction
Multi-dog homes, with bulk orders up to 50kg of tubs
Dogs kept off grain; wheatgrass is a grass shoot, not a cereal

Worth watching

The usual raw routine: freezer space, defrosting ahead, clean bowls and surfaces
Beef organs and salmon oil in every tub, so a beef-reactive dog has no refuge in the range
Most labels print a percentage only for the headline meat

The one deliberately twin-protein tub, and the most fully itemised label here.

Six tubs on one pattern: a named meat with bone leads, so the calcium arrives in the food itself, then tripe and beef kidney and liver behind it. A small garnish of carrot, butternut squash, green vegetables and blueberry follows, with salmon oil, kelp and wheatgrass at the tail.

Beef does the organ work in every flavour, and salmon oil puts fish in every tub. What varies is the lead animal and how much the label itemises: the Venison prints a percentage for everything, the rest only the headline meat. Carbohydrate never climbs past 9.0% of dry matter.
