Cotswold Raw Dog Food Review & Ratings

Cotswold Raw is an all-raw range from an independent Gloucestershire producer, and the numbers are unusually tight. Across 4 rated foods it averages 86/100 (Very good), ranking 37 of 304, with a spread of only 8 point between the weakest and the strongest.

That is about as flat as a range gets on this site. It means the recipes are built to the same standard rather than one halo product carrying a cheaper line beneath it, which is worth more to most owners than a higher headline score would be. The best of them is Cotswold Raw Puppy at 90/100.

Raw feeding is where our scoring tends to be generous, because the labels are short and the ingredients are named - there is not much room for a manufacturer to hide behind category terms when the bag says beef, bone and vegetables. Read the scores in that context. A strong raw score is normal, and the comparison that matters is against other raw ranges rather than against dry food.

The practical points are the ordinary raw ones: freezer space, defrosting discipline and handling hygiene. The brand is certified under the industry raw safety standard, which is a reasonable thing to look for. If raw suits your household, this is a range you can buy across without checking each recipe individually.
