Rabbit & Veggie Freeze-Dried Raw Dog Food

Verified Jun 3, 2026

Dog · Dry All Life Stages All Breed Sizes

This is a high-protein, freeze-dried raw dog food using rabbit with bone as the sole animal protein, supported by organic vegetables and fruits. It’s formulated as a complete and balanced diet for dogs of all ages and sizes, and can be fed as a full meal or crumbled in as a topper. The recipe is grain-free and very low in fiber, which may suit some dogs with sensitive digestion who do well on rich, meat-heavy diets.

KibbleLab Score
8.8 out of 10

Nutritionally, this is a very dense, meat-forward freeze-dried raw diet that should provide ample protein and fat for most healthy dogs at any life stage. Rabbit with bone plus organ-rich ingredients offer a highly digestible amino acid and mineral source, while the organic vegetables and fruits contribute some natural vitamins and antioxidants. It’s best suited for dogs that tolerate higher-fat, low-fiber, raw-style diets and for owners comfortable handling and feeding minimally processed foods.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Very high protein and fat levels for a dry product (around 46–51% protein and 20–21% fat as-fed), which is appropriate for active dogs and growth when fed correctly.
  • Uses rabbit with bone as the main animal ingredient, providing quality protein, natural calcium and phosphorus, and a novel protein option for some dogs with food sensitivities.
  • Includes organic vegetables and fruits (broccoli, carrots, squash, blueberries, apples) plus added chelated minerals and vitamins for complete and balanced nutrition for all life stages by AAFCO formulation.
  • Freeze-dried processing helps retain many nutrients of raw ingredients while offering better convenience and shelf stability than fresh raw diets.

Considerations

  • This is a very rich, high-fat, low-fiber formula, which may be too heavy for some dogs prone to pancreatitis or loose stools; transitions should be slow and careful.
  • Grain-free and very meat-heavy diets can be excellent for some dogs but are not automatically better; dogs with certain medical conditions or needing more dietary fiber may do better on a different style of food.
  • Raw-based products, even when freeze-dried, may not be ideal for households with very young children, elderly, pregnant, or immunocompromised people, due to general handling and food safety considerations.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained

01
Rabbit With Bone
Rabbit with bone is used as a novel animal protein and mineral source in pet foods, supplying highly digestible protein plus bone-derived calcium, phosphorus, collagen and marrow fats. It can be a good option for dogs or cats with food sensitivities, but should be part of a complete, properly formulated diet because raw or improperly processed bones can pose bacterial or physical hazards and diets relying solely on rabbit may require additional taurine and nutrient supplementation for cats.
02
Broccoli
Broccoli is used as a low‑calorie vegetable additive or treat ingredient rather than a protein source, providing fiber, vitamins (A, K, folate), minerals and antioxidants like sulforaphane that can support digestion and cellular health in dogs and, to a lesser extent, cats. It should be offered in small, plain, cooked or finely chopped portions because raw or large amounts can cause gas, gastrointestinal upset, choking, and—if fed excessively—potential thyroid interference from cruciferous compounds; avoid added seasonings such as onion or garlic.
03
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.
04
Squash
Squash is used in pet foods as a low‑calorie vegetable ingredient that provides digestible fiber, moisture and nutrients such as beta‑carotene (a vitamin A precursor), vitamin C and potassium, which can support digestive health, weight management and antioxidant protection. It is generally safe for dogs and cats when cooked or pureed but offers limited protein for obligate carnivores, so owners should avoid salted or seasoned preparations, remove seeds, and introduce it gradually to prevent gastrointestinal upset.
05
Blueberry
Blueberries are used in pet foods and treats as a low‑calorie source of dietary fiber, vitamins (notably vitamin C) and antioxidant phytochemicals (anthocyanins), providing natural color and mild flavor. They may support general antioxidant and digestive health in dogs and, to a lesser extent, cats (obligate carnivores), but should be offered in moderation due to natural sugars and possible gastrointestinal upset, and owners should avoid products with added sweeteners (especially xylitol) or harmful preservatives.
