Strong Choice
This is a very nutrient-dense, meat-heavy freeze-dried raw diet that provides complete and balanced nutrition for puppies and adult dogs, including large breeds. The formulation focuses on turkey meat, organs, and bone, with thoughtfully chosen vegetables, fruits, and seeds rather than starchy fillers. It’s a rich, high-fat, high-calorie option that can work well for active dogs or as a meal mixer, but may be too calorie-dense for some dogs if portions are not carefully controlled.

Strengths
- Turkey, organs, and ground bone make this a very high-protein, animal-focused diet at 42% protein as fed.
- Formulated to meet AAFCO standards for all life stages, including growth of large-breed puppies.
- Freeze-dried processing helps preserve nutrients while offering the safety of a commercially balanced raw-style diet.
- Includes organic vegetables, fruits, seeds, and added vitamins and minerals for a well-rounded nutrient profile.
Considerations
- At 30% fat and 4612 kcal/kg, this food is very calorie-dense and may require careful portion control, especially for less active dogs.
- Turkey and turkey organs can trigger issues in dogs with poultry allergies or sensitivities.
- Raw-style diets may not be ideal for dogs with certain medical conditions that require lower fat or more controlled nutrient profiles.
- Whole patties must be broken up and accurately counted, so owners need to pay close attention to feeding amounts.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained
01
Turkey with Ground Bone
Turkey with ground bone is used in pet food as a combined animal protein and mineral source, providing meat-based essential amino acids along with concentrated calcium and phosphorus from the bone. It can be a nutritious choice for dogs and cats when properly balanced, but high bone content raises ash and mineral levels so formulations must be monitored to avoid calcium/phosphorus imbalances or digestive issues, and sourcing/processing should control microbial risk and allergen considerations.
02
Turkey Neck
Turkey neck is a raw meaty bone commonly used in pet diets as a protein-rich, calcium/phosphorus source and recreational chew, providing muscle meat, bone, cartilage and connective tissue that supply protein, minerals and naturally occurring glucosamine and chondroitin. They can help with dental abrasion and joint support but carry risks of choking, gastrointestinal obstruction, tooth fracture and bacterial contamination if raw, so they should be size-appropriate, supervised during feeding, never given cooked, and used as part of a balanced diet after consulting your veterinarian.
03
Turkey Liver
Turkey liver is an organ meat commonly used in dog and cat foods as a protein-rich, palatability-enhancing ingredient and a concentrated source of vitamins and minerals—particularly vitamin A, B vitamins (including B12), iron, and copper. It offers nutritional benefits for metabolism and skin/coat health but should be included in moderation within a balanced diet to avoid vitamin A excess and high purine intake, and must be properly handled or cooked to reduce foodborne risks.
04
Butternut Squash
Butternut squash is a cooked vegetable ingredient used in pet foods as a source of soluble and insoluble fiber, complex carbohydrates, and antioxidants (notably beta‑carotene/vitamin A), often included to aid digestion, add moisture, and support healthy weight management. It can benefit dogs and, to a lesser extent, cats by supplying fiber, vitamins A and C, and potassium, but should be cooked and seedless for digestibility, used sparingly in diabetic animals due to carbohydrate content, and treated as a complement to—not a replacement for—animal-based protein.

05
Carrot
Carrot is used in pet foods as a vegetable ingredient providing fiber, moisture, texture and antioxidant nutrients such as beta‑carotene (a provitamin A), vitamin K, vitamin C and potassium, contributing to palatability and digestive bulk. Cooked carrots are more digestible and release more beta‑carotene, but cats cannot efficiently convert beta‑carotene to active vitamin A so carrots are more nutritionally useful for dogs than as a primary vitamin A source for cats; they should be fed in moderation due to natural sugars and should be offered in appropriately sized pieces to avoid choking.
