Flavour

Air dried food built on an unusual brief: 85% fresh meat on every label and no synthetic vitamin or mineral premix behind it. The organ meat on these labels backs the maker's argument up, though it asks a little more trust of an owner than most bags do. The turkey sits in our Outstanding band, the other two just behind in Excellent.

Our view

Likely to suit

Owners who want the nutrition to come from food, with organ meat doing the work a vitamin panel normally does
Every age in the house; each recipe is written for puppy, adult and senior
Dogs whose fat needs keeping down. The Low Fat Turkey is the leanest of the three
Dogs off land meat, as the fish recipe keeps to whole sardine and anchovy
Homes short on fridge and freezer space: air dried food lives in the cupboard

Worth watching

No dosed vitamin and mineral panel to check line by line
Trout oil in the turkey recipe and five animals in the Meat Lovers, both worth weighing for a dog with a history of reactions
No calcium figure on any of the three, the number a large-breed puppy owner wants

Named ingredients

85% fresh meats (turkey, wild caught whole fish, pork, duck, turkey liver, duck liver, turkey heart, duck heart, turkey gizzard, duck gizzard, cartilage), tapioca, whole eggs, beet fiber, brewer's yeast, carrots, blueberries, organic coconut oil, cumin, thyme, turmeric, rose hip.

Against the range

Meat: Turkey, fish, pork, duck and organs; Turkey alone, or two fish.
Fat, as fed: 14.0%; Between the turkey and the fish.
Egg: Whole eggs; Not in the other two.

Five animals in one recipe makes this a rotation feeder's bag.

All three are air dried around 85% fresh meat or fish, itemised entry by entry, with tapioca binding the piece. There is no synthetic vitamin or mineral premix on any of them: the maker leans on organ meat, cartilage and small whole fish to supply what a complete diet needs.

The finished food holds 22.0% moisture and energy runs between 415 and 436 kcal per 100g. What varies is the animal: turkey alone, five animals together, or two small fish.
