FreshPuppyAdult

Flavour

Fresh frozen tubs on one plain formula, and all five sit comfortably in our Outstanding band. Every animal entry is named and pinned to a percentage, from beef heart at 25% to cod at 80%. Four of the five keep their meat to a single animal.

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

Owners who want every animal ingredient named with its own percentage
Organ meat eaters: heart, liver, kidney and lung carry much of the range
Mixed-age households, since all five are listed for every life stage
A single animal per bowl, with beef, chicken, duck and cod each getting a recipe
Toy breeds and giants alike

Worth watching

Freezer food that thaws in the fridge, so plan meals a day ahead
Whole egg powder in four of the five blends
No calcium printed. Ask Wild before rearing a large breed puppy on it

Egg: None; Whole egg powder in the other four
Broccoli, pumpkin powder: 4.1%, 0.7%; 2% and 1% elsewhere

The pick for an egg-avoiding dog that is happy with both fish and beef.

One formula throughout: 80% animal ingredients, all of UK origin, every one named with a percentage, and much of it organ. The other 20% is a near-identical blend of carrot, sweet potato, chia, broccoli and smaller fruit and veg, closed by algae oil. Four of the five carry whole egg powder.

Moisture runs from 69% to 73%. Protein converts to 51.6% to 59.3% of dry matter, and estimated carbohydrate never climbs above 9.5%.
