87.8/100Outstanding

RawPuppyAdult

Flavour

Frozen 500g tubs built on one honest idea: a named animal with its bone and liver, its total share printed, and nothing vague on any of the eight lists. You can read a label in the time it takes to prise the lid off. All eight sit in our Outstanding band.

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 and offal doing the mineral work
Rotation across beef, chicken, duck and turkey, all on one construction
Households with a puppy among the adults; most of the range is labelled from puppy up
Dogs kept clear of starch. No entry on any label is a cereal or a pulse
Owners short on freezer space, as the tubs stack tidily

Worth watching

Salmon oil on every label, single-meat tubs included
Beef inside two of the chicken-named recipes, so read each list for an exclusion plan
A night's thaw in the fridge, and hands and bowls to wash after serving

The details

Dog fit

Most tubs are labelled from puppy upwards, with the Beef Meal, the Sprats and Tripe and the Turkey for adults. No calcium figure is printed, so ask Wolf Tucker before raising a large-breed puppy on it.

All eight Outstanding. Typical raw food: Outstanding.

All eight keep pace with the strongest raw food we cover, and the Chicken Meal's small lead is a fine margin on the analysis, not a different food.

What's in it

Chicken with bone, chicken liver60% total chicken
Beef tripe30%Rich, easy to digest, and the reason there is beef in this tub.
Carrot
Green vegetables: broccoli, kale, cabbageEvery green named, nothing left as a loose category.
Apple
Salmon oilOmega 3, and fish in every tub.
KelpIodine, with no added premix to do the job.

The tripe is beef, so this chicken-named tub carries two animals.

Named ingredients

Chicken with Bone, Chicken Liver (Total Chicken 60%), Beef Tripe (30%), Carrot, Green Vegetables (Brocolli, Kale, Cabbage), Apple, Salmon Oil, Kelp

Against the range

Tripe: Beef tripe at 30%; Beef-led tripe on the Beef and Tripe and Sprats and Tripe.
Protein, dry matter: 53.2%; 58.2% on the Chicken Meal.
Fat, dry matter: 34.9%; 25.6% to 51.0% across the range.

The tub to try for tripe in a poultry bowl.

Every tub follows one build: a named animal with its bone and liver, the total for that animal printed as a percentage, then carrot, named greens and apple, closing on salmon oil and kelp. Three tubs add sunflower seed granulate and three bring beef tripe. There is no cereal, no pulse and no added vitamin or mineral premix.

Bone and kelp do the mineral work, liver and salmon oil the vitamin work. Carbohydrate is zero on six of the eight. No label prints a calcium figure.

Pricing & size

Price per kilo: £4.58 (RRP)
Pack: 500 g tub - the only size sold as its own product (single `Default Title` variant, 500 g). Also sold inside Wolf Tucker's own multi-tub boxes rather than in any larger tub: the 6 kg / 12 kg / 18 kg mixed boxes listed in the notes section below.
A 15kg dog eats (our estimate): 330 to 405 g a day, 370 in the middle
Cost per day, 15kg dog: £1.69

Budget end of the market for a raw food, and strong value for what is in the recipe.
