Most dogs start with the Chicken Dog Meal and most cats with Purrfect Chicken: both are gentle, everyday recipes. If your pet has reacted to chicken, has itchy skin or you simply can't decide, use the picker below or try a Trial Box with every recipe inside.

Our dog recipes

  • Chicken (157 kcal per 100 g): the usual first pick. Naturally lower in fat than beef and lamb.
  • Beef (157 kcal): iron-rich beef and liver for muscle, energy and coat.
  • Lamb (150 kcal): a favourite for fussy eaters and dogs with itchy skin or sensitive stomachs.
  • Surf & Turf (129 kcal): our only dual-protein meal and our lowest-calorie dog recipe, with natural omega-3.
  • Rabbit (161 kcal): a novel protein for dogs with sensitivities. Grain-free, and our richest dog recipe, so it is not the one for weight loss.

Our cat recipes

  • Purrfect Chicken (122 kcal per 100 g): mild, soft and gentle on sensitive tummies.
  • Purrfect Lamb (135 kcal): a rich taste for cats bored of chicken, and our only cat meal without chicken or fish.
  • Purrfect Fish (129 kcal): a fish flavour picky cats tend to love, omega-rich and helpful for hairballs. It contains chicken liver.

Rotating recipes

Once your pet has settled on their first recipe, most pets enjoy rotating two or three. Introduce a new recipe gradually, mixing it in over a few days, so their tummy has time to adjust.

If your pet must avoid a protein

Check the full ingredients, not just the name: every dog meal contains fish oil, Surf & Turf also contains fish, Purrfect Fish contains chicken liver, and Purrfect Chicken and Purrfect Lamb contain butter. See Allergies and sensitivities.
