Raw feeding asks a lot of a kitchen — freezer space, a defrost routine, a plan for the day you forget. A steamed tray is the same idea with that part removed.

This is Nutriment's gently steamed recipe: Chicken at 68%, including 11% chicken heart and 11% chicken liver, alongside minerals, pumpkin (1%), dried broccoli, dried apple, salmon oil and chicory, plus added vitamins and trace elements. It's sold as a complete food, and Nutriment give feeding amounts by dog size — up to 5kg, 5–12kg, 12–25kg, 25–45kg and 45–60kg all have their own daily tray guide. The analysis is protein 9%, fat 8%, crude fibre 0.5%, crude ash 2.5% and moisture 76%.

• Chicken 68% (including 11% chicken heart, 11% chicken liver)
• Minerals, pumpkin, dried broccoli, dried apple, salmon oil, chicory
• Protein 9%, fat 8%, crude fibre 0.5%, crude ash 2.5%, moisture 76%
• 395G tray
• No freezer or defrosting needed
• Sold as a complete food

On the analysis. Moisture is 76%, so the protein and fat percentages sit much lower than a dry kibble's — 9% protein here isn't directly comparable to a 25% dry food, because most of the tray's weight is water. Judge the recipe by the 68% named chicken content rather than by the percentage columns alone.

Who it's for: owners who like the idea of a raw-style feed but don't have freezer space for it — this stores and serves like a chilled tray rather than a frozen block.
