Rawbble Dry Dog Food Duck Recipe
Verified May 24, 2026
This is a high-protein, freeze-dried raw–coated dry food for dogs of all life stages, including large-breed puppies. It uses duck as the main animal protein, with lentils, peas, and chickpeas as the primary carbohydrate sources. The recipe is formulated to be highly digestible and may suit dogs who do well on a limited-ingredient, poultry-alternative diet.
Overall, this is a very good quality dry dog food that provides moderate-to-high protein and fat levels, using duck and egg as the key animal protein sources. It’s formulated to meet AAFCO standards for all life stages, including large-breed growth, which is an important plus if you have a large-breed puppy. The main consideration is that it relies heavily on legumes for carbohydrates, which some owners and vets may be cautious about for dogs at risk of heart disease.

KibbleLab Review
Strengths
- Duck as the primary protein source can be helpful for dogs that don’t do well on more common proteins like chicken or beef.
- AAFCO complete and balanced for all life stages, including large-breed growth, so it can be used for puppies and adults under veterinary guidance.
- Good protein (27%) and fat (17%) levels for an all-life-stages dry food, providing plenty of energy and amino acids for most healthy dogs.
- Includes salmon oil and inulin, which can support skin/coat and digestive health, and uses mixed tocopherols as a safe, effective preservative.
Considerations
- Legumes (lentils, peas, garbanzo beans) are major ingredients; grain-free, legume-heavy diets have been associated with some cases of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) in dogs, so this is worth discussing with your vet, especially for at-risk breeds.
- Contains egg and duck, which are potential allergens for some dogs with food sensitivities.
- Higher calorie density (about 423 kcal per cup), so portions need to be measured carefully to avoid unwanted weight gain, especially in smaller or less active dogs.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained
01
Duck
Duck is used in pet food primarily as a flavorful animal protein and fat source, commonly included in limited-ingredient or novel-protein formulas for dogs and cats. It supplies high-quality amino acids and energy and can help pets with sensitivities to common proteins, but it is relatively rich in fat (so may be unsuitable for low‑fat or pancreatitis-prone animals), can still trigger allergies in some pets, and requires proper cooking/processing and handling to avoid bacterial contamination.
02
Lentil
Lentils are a plant-based source of protein, complex carbohydrates, fiber and micronutrients (notably folate and iron) commonly used in pet foods to add bulk, promote satiety and help moderate post-meal blood sugar. They can be a useful ingredient for dogs when properly processed and balanced with animal-derived amino acids, but lentil protein is less digestible and incomplete for obligate carnivores like cats; high legume inclusion can also increase gas or digestive upset and has been discussed in the context of diet-associated heart concerns in dogs, so lentils should be used in nutritionally complete, vetted formulations.
03
Yellow Pea
Yellow pea is a common plant-based ingredient in dog and cat foods used as a source of digestible protein, starch and both soluble and insoluble fiber, and it also contributes B vitamins and minerals. It can help increase protein and fiber content and replace grains, but formulators must balance essential amino acids and process peas to reduce anti-nutrients, and pet owners should know that very high inclusion of pulses in some grain‑free diets has been scrutinized for possible links to canine DCM, so feeding complete, balanced diets and veterinary monitoring is recommended.
04
Yeast
Yeast (such as brewer’s, nutritional yeast, or yeast extracts) is used in pet foods as a palatability enhancer, a supplemental protein and B‑vitamin source, and for functional components like beta‑glucans and mannans that can support immune and gut health. It can help with appetite, skin/coat quality and digestion, but some pets may be allergic, product strains and processing vary in quality, and higher purine or added-salt levels in certain yeast products can be a concern for animals with specific medical or dietary restrictions.
05
Sunflower Oil
Sunflower oil is used in pet foods as a concentrated fat source to increase energy density, palatability and supply linoleic acid (an essential omega‑6) that helps maintain healthy skin and coat. It is beneficial for dogs and cats but is high in omega‑6 and low in omega‑3—so formulas should balance fatty acids to avoid an inflammatory imbalance; it is calorie‑dense (important for weight control and pancreatitis-prone animals) and may require antioxidants or high‑oleic formulations for better shelf stability.
