Overview
Freeze-dried raw dog food made mostly from grass-fed beef meat, organ and bone, with organic produce mixed in for a complete meal or a topper on kibble. The 7-ounce bag suits owners testing a raw diet before committing to a larger size.
Small batch keeps the recipe close to a single-source protein rather than a blend of fillers, which appeals to owners managing food sensitivities. At 88 percent beef meat, organ and bone it reads closer to a raw feeding formula than a typical kibble topper, so portioning matters more than with a shelf-stable dry food.
- 88% grass-fed beef meat, organ and bone
- Complete and balanced raw nutrition
- No added antibiotics or hormones
- Made in the USA
Who it's for
Dog owners moving toward raw or freeze-dried feeding, especially for small breeds given the small-bite format. Owners just wanting an occasional kibble topper may find the 7oz size gets used up fast if fed as a full meal.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Single-source grass-fed beef with organ and bone
- Grain-free and non-GMO formulation
- Works as a full meal or a kibble topper
- Small-bite size fits small breeds
- 7oz bag empties quickly if fed as a full meal
- Beef-only recipe won't suit dogs needing a different protein
- Freeze-dried raw pricing runs higher than kibble
Performance notes
Freeze-drying removes moisture while keeping the raw nutrient profile intact, so the small bites rehydrate with warm water if a softer texture is wanted. Because it is grain-free and limited-ingredient, it is formulated for dogs with common grain or filler sensitivities, though owners switching from kibble should transition gradually to avoid stomach upset.
