Steam Fresh™ every nutrient is locked in!
Our Steam Fresh™ cooking process means we cook all your dogs fresh, wholefood ingredients in an airtight tray which locks in all the nutrients, meat broth and goodness.
With 60% prime cuts of meat (including steak!), wholefoods, vibrant veg, seeds, fruit, herbs and essentials oils we want your dog getting 100% of the goodness.
Up to 400 million gut friendly probiotic bacteria in your dogs daily meal
Every day your dog will enjoy the benefits of up to 400 million gut friendly bacteria, tailored to your dogs individual needs to actively support their digestive health.
Plus Beta-glucan prebiotics to feed and keep the good bacteria alive, which work alongside the natural wholefood prebiotics in ingredients such as quinoa and sweet potato.
Does all dog food have prebiotic and probiotics?
No but with our goal of helping your dogs live a happier, healthier, longer life we know how important a healthier gut microbiome is.
* The exact amount is tailored to your dogs needs.
The friendly bacteria your dog needs is only useful if it is alive when it reaches their gut.

Avoid these tricks "human grade" fresh dog food brands are using right now
"Mince" on the label is often Mechanically Separated Meat
Would you eat this?
Don't be duped by photos of prime chicken breast on the website, if their ingredient page says chicken mince it is most likely Mechanically Separated Meat.
Mechanically separated meat is a paste-like meat product produced by forcing bones, with attached edible meat, under high pressure through a sieve or similar device to separate the bone from the edible meat tissue.

Would you eat this?
"Freshly Prepared Chicken"on the label isn't what you think
Mechanical separation from the carcass (head, feet, scrap cuts) grounded and pasteurised into a freshly prepared chicken mush.
The product is all "minced" up to hide the Frankenstein meats.
Would You eat this?
They claim to use premium ingredients but then the product resembles brown mush with the odd flicker of veg, why?
Because it is the best way to hide the type of meat they're really using.
Would you eat this?
Calling the ingredients "human grade" to give the impression of quality
All the ingredients above are "human grade" but do you fancy them for dinner tonight? No. Don't be fooled by the term human grade.
Meat you would eat - like steak!
Dog food should be real food, food you would eat yourself – that is our philosophy. And that is why we never use “human grade” meats like mechanically separated meat but actual cuts of meats you would recognise and eat yourself.
Your dog will enjoy matured steak, skinless turkey and chicken thighs with super fruits, seeds and vibrant vegetables.
Beef steak
Prime cuts of meat, not cheap fillers
Super seeds
Quinoa is a seed which provides all essential amino acids
Vibrant veg
High in phytonutrients and antioxidants

Our team is here to help with ANY query even if it's not related to our food. Our goal is to help dogs live longer, whether they’re eating Years or not.
We gently Steam Fresh™ your dog’s meals to eliminate harmful bacteria while preserving the natural
vitamins, minerals, and moisture found in fresh, whole foods. Each meal is carefully crafted by our
chefs in our Nottingham kitchens, ensuring the highest quality for your dog.
We’ve done all the hard work – no cooking needed! Your dog’s food arrives fully cooked, pre-portioned
and ready to enjoy straight from the tray. And thanks to our Steam Fresh™ process, you can store it in
your pantry or kitchen cupboards, freeing up fridge space.
They most certainly are. Instead of using grains and fillers, we use quinoa, a nutrient-dense seed
that supports healthy heart and nervous system functions.
Grain-free dog food is especially beneficial for dogs with sensitive digestion, specific health needs,
or grain allergies.

Most adult dogs thrive on having their daily food split into two equal meals. This approach helps keep
them satisfied and aids digestion better than feeding a single, larger meal. For dogs with specific
health concerns, several smaller meals throughout the day may be more appropriate.
Determining the exact amount of food your dog needs isn’t one-size-fits-all. The ideal portion size
varies based on factors like age, size, activity level, and overall health. While many dog food brands
provide feeding guidelines based on your pet’s ideal body weight, we aim to simplify the process for
you.
For more guidance on
how much to feed your dog
and the factors that affect portion size, explore this blog.
Our system accurately assesses your dog’s nutritional needs, and our pre-portioned, recyclable
single-use trays are crafted to meet those needs precisely – no more measuring or weighing required!
That said, you know your dog best. If you feel they require more or less food than our
recommendations, you can easily
adjust their portion size in your account.
Despite the claims, "human-grade" dog food isn't always as beneficial as it sounds. Many fresh dog
food brands use the term "human-grade" to describe meats that are often mechanically separated and
less desirable.
Be cautious of brands that label their meat as “mince” or “freshly prepared chicken” – these can be
misleading.
Our philosophy is simple. Dog food should be as fresh and real as the food you would eat yourself.
That’s why we avoid using "human-grade" meats like mechanically separated meat. Instead, we use real,
recognisable cuts – like chicken thighs, pork shoulder, and turkey drumsticks – the same quality you’d
enjoy yourself.
To avoid upset stomachs from sudden diet changes, we suggest a gradual transition over 7 days. Start
with 25% of the new food mixed with the old food on Day 1.
While this 7-day plan suits most dogs, those with sensitive stomachs may need a slower transition.
Feel free to extend the period as needed.
Maintain a consistent feeding schedule and monitor your dog for any signs of discomfort, such as
diarrhoea, vomiting, or loss of appetite. If any issues arise, slow the transition or consult your
vet.
For a full step-by-step transition guide with daily amounts, visit our

article and make the switch to their new food as smooth as possible.
No, we don't.
We don’t need to, as our meals, treats, and supplements are made from 100% fresh, wholefoods with no
added colours, flavours, or preservatives.
All our ingredients come directly from the human food supply chain, with no by-products or waste.
Compared to other dog food companies
that blend their products, our meals use only high-quality ingredients, and we keep them in their
natural form as we have nothing to hide.
