Freeze-Dried Raw Lamb & Raspberries Dog Food
Verified Jun 14, 2026
This is a high-protein, high-fat freeze-dried raw dog food featuring lamb (including organ meats and ground bone) as the primary animal protein source, with raspberries, sweet potato, and other fruits and vegetables for added fiber and micronutrients. It’s formulated as a complete and balanced diet for most life stages and can be fed as a full meal or used as a nutrient-dense topper. Added probiotics (Bacillus coagulans), salmon oil, and flaxseed support digestive health and provide omega fatty acids.
Nutritionally, this is a rich, meat-focused freeze-dried raw option that offers complete and balanced nutrition for puppies, adults, and seniors, except for large-breed puppy growth. The protein and fat levels are quite high, making it well-suited for active dogs or those who do well on calorie-dense, raw-style diets. It’s a good fit for owners seeking a convenient raw-format food, as long as they’re comfortable with the higher fat content and avoid using it as a primary diet for large-breed puppies.

At a Glance
What "not formulated for" means
Life stages this food isn't certified complete and balanced for, based on its AAFCO statement.KibbleLab Review
Strengths
- Lamb, organ meats, and ground bone provide species-appropriate, nutrient-dense animal protein and natural minerals.
- Very high protein (30% min) and fat (35% min) on an as-fed basis, giving a concentrated source of energy and amino acids, especially useful for active or underweight dogs.
- Includes salmon oil, ground flaxseed, fruits, vegetables, and inulin, which contribute omega fatty acids, fiber, and various phytonutrients.
- Contains added probiotics (Bacillus coagulans) and is formulated to meet AAFCO standards for all life stages except large-breed puppy growth.
Considerations
- The fat level is quite high, which may not be ideal for dogs with a history of pancreatitis, sensitive stomachs, or those who gain weight easily.
- Because it’s very calorie-dense (about 200 kcal per cup), portions are smaller than many kibbles, and overfeeding can easily lead to weight gain if measuring isn’t careful.
- Formulated for all life stages except the growth of large-breed puppies, so it should not be used as the main diet for large-breed pups.
- Contains egg and fish (via salmon oil), which can be triggers for dogs with known allergies to these ingredients.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained
01
Lamb
Lamb is commonly used in dog and cat foods as a high-quality animal protein that supplies essential amino acids, iron and B vitamins and is often chosen for its palatability or as a “novel” protein in elimination diets. It can be higher in fat and calories than some other meats and may still cause allergic reactions in sensitive animals, so owners of overweight pets or those with food sensitivities should consult a veterinarian and use proper handling/cooking practices if feeding raw or homemade lamb.
02
Lamb Bone
Used as a chew/treat or as part of raw/bone‑in diets, lamb bone provides chewable material and contributes minerals (notably calcium and phosphorus) along with collagen and marrow fat. It can aid dental abrasion and enrichment but carries risks—cooked bones may splinter and cause choking or gastrointestinal injury, marrow/fat can trigger pancreatitis in susceptible pets, and raw bones pose bacterial contamination concerns—so select appropriately sized bones, supervise chewing, and consult your veterinarian.
03
Egg
Eggs are used in pet foods as a highly digestible, complete animal protein and nutrient source—providing essential amino acids, bioavailable vitamins (A, D, E, B-complex including B12), minerals like selenium and iron, choline and healthy fats—while also improving palatability and texture. They support muscle maintenance, skin/coat and cognitive health in dogs and cats, but raw eggs can carry bacterial risk and contain avidin in whites that may reduce biotin with long-term feeding; some pets may also have egg allergies or require portion control for calorie management.
04
Lamb Liver
Lamb liver is an organ meat used as a nutrient-dense protein and flavor enhancer in pet foods and treats, supplying concentrated vitamins (especially vitamin A and B12), iron, copper and high-quality amino acids important for both dogs and cats. It is highly palatable and can help prevent nutrient deficiencies, but should be fed in moderation because excessive liver intake can lead to vitamin A toxicity and digestive upset, and proper sourcing/handling is important to avoid foodborne pathogens.
05
Lamb Kidney
Lamb kidney is an organ meat commonly used in pet foods and treats as a high-quality protein source that adds moisture, palatability and is rich in B vitamins (including B12), iron, copper and other trace minerals. It can be a valuable novel protein for dogs and cats, but because organ meats are nutrient-dense and relatively high in purines, it should be included in balanced amounts and properly handled or cooked/processed to minimize microbial risk.
