Cold pressedAdult

Flavour

A six-recipe cold-pressed range, grain free throughout, with the pork, beef and trout and salmon in our Excellent band and the other three in Good. The labels vary more than the packaging: some quote a headline meat figure that does not match the itemised entries beneath it. Venison, duck, pork and trout all lead a recipe here.

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

Dogs kept off grain, as not one recipe holds a cereal
Owners after an unusual meat
Adults of any size, on one feeding chart
Owners who feed by eye and correct. The chart gives a range at each weight
Joints that need a hand, with glucosamine and chondroitin in all six

Worth watching

Adults only, so not for a puppy in the house
No vitamin and mineral panel, so no printed doses to check
Green lipped mussel on most labels, and chicken in the pork
Trust the itemised percentages over the summary meat line
