Our recipes are made for healthy adult dogs and are not a treatment for any illness. If your dog is a puppy, pregnant, unwell or on a prescribed diet, check with your vet before switching.

Tell us about any allergies when you message us and we'll share the full ingredient list. Our kitchen handles chicken, beef and other ingredients, so we can't promise a pack is free of traces of them.
