Wolf Tucker Primal Complete Raw Meals: Chicken Meal review

Name: Wolf Tucker Primal Complete Raw Meals: Chicken Meal
Brand: Wolf Tucker

78.3/100Excellent

RawPuppyAdult

A whole-animal raw meal, in our Excellent band, with every part of it weighed on the label. The organ share is the story: ox heart at 20% and liver at 5%, alongside 20% tripe. That makes it a proper offal meal, and the chicken is less than half of it.

Where to buy: coming soon

Our view

Likely to suit

Raw feeders who want offal properly represented
Dogs kept away from fish: flax oil supplies the omega fats
Puppies and older dogs alike, any size
A small first step into raw, in a 500g tub
Low-starch feeding, at an estimated 6.9% carbohydrate in dry matter

Worth watching

Tripe and ox heart are from cattle, so two species are in a chicken-named tub
No vitamin, mineral or calcium figure printed
Freezer room, an overnight thaw and raw hygiene

The score, in context

Chicken Meal 78.3

All one Excellent. Typical raw food: Outstanding.

It sits just under a raw field that mostly reaches Outstanding, earned on the ingredients and the printed percentages, with nothing missing from the tub.

What's in it

Chicken and bone40%The bone carries the calcium, with no figure printed.
Tripe20%Prized by raw feeders for its enzymes and friendly bacteria. From cattle.
Ox heart20%Working muscle, dense in taurine and B vitamins. Separates this from an ordinary mince.
Liver5%Vitamin A and B12 without overdoing it.
Apples, carrot, broccoli, parsley15%The only plant matter.
Flax oilPlant omega 3, converted less directly than fish oil. Keeps fish off the label.
Seagreens kelpIodine.
Wheatgrass powder

No calcium figure, and ash is modest for a recipe with 40% bone-in chicken. Check with Wolf Tucker for a large-breed puppy.

Pricing & size

Price per kilo: £4.98 (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: £1.84

Budget end of the raw market, and strong value for what is in the tub.
