Based on the latest UK comparisons for 2026, I'd put Bella & Duke, Paleo Ridge, Naturaw and Mersey Raw at the top of the list.
The important thing is to choose a genuinely nutritionally complete raw food, rather than just a meat mince.

## What I would look for when buying
- Complete food\: Meets the dog's full nutritional requirements.
- Nutritional balance\: Not simply 80% meat, 10% bone and 10% offal unless the overall recipe is appropriately balanced.
- Quality control\: Look for recognised manufacturing and food safety standards.
- Protein variety\: Different proteins can help provide variety, provided they suit your dog.
- Clear labelling\: Ingredients, nutritional analysis and feeding instructions should be transparent.
One important consideration: raw feeding carries bacterial and parasite risks for dogs and people, so hygienic handling and veterinary advice are important. The UK veterinary profession does not generally recommend raw feeding as safer or healthier than properly formulated cooked diets.
