Seven recipes across Outstanding and Excellent and Good. Typical wet food: Excellent.

The four broth-free tins hold clear above a strong wet field, and the three built on a broth sit well behind them.

Fruit

Apple, blackberry

Each tin has its own.

The most fully itemised label of the seven, and one bird throughout.

Seven animals, no cereal in any tin. Each leads with named heart or organ meat, and pumpkin, carrot, parsnip, celeriac and courgette do the plant work with fruit around them. Coconut flour and pumpkin seed flour bind, and brewer's yeast, oyster shell, seaweed and mineral clay form the house tail.

Two label styles share the shelf. Beef, chicken, lamb and turkey list percentaged organs with no broth; duck, veal and wild boar give a meat headline, an unnamed broth and a printed ratio. Fat runs from 17.7% of dry matter on the turkey to 35.9% on the beef.
