Top Pick
This is a rich, meat-heavy freeze-dried raw diet centered on lamb, which can work well for healthy adult dogs who do well on higher protein and fat. It offers a very low-carbohydrate profile with organ meats and bone to provide natural sources of many nutrients, and it’s formulated to be a complete meal rather than just a topper. Because it’s calorie-dense, it suits dogs who maintain weight easily on smaller portions or those needing more concentrated nutrition.

Strengths
- Lamb, including organs and bone, makes up most of the recipe and provides high-quality protein and minerals.
- The formula is extremely high in protein and fat, giving a very low-carbohydrate, meat-focused diet.
- Added probiotics and organic fruits and vegetables provide beneficial gut and antioxidant support.
- Vitamins, minerals, and taurine are added so it can serve as a complete and balanced daily diet.
Considerations
- The high fat level may not be ideal for dogs with pancreatitis, tummy sensitivities, or those prone to weight gain.
- Lamb is a common animal protein, so it may not be suitable for dogs with known lamb allergies.
- As a raw freeze-dried product, it requires careful handling and storage, especially around young children or immunocompromised people.

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 Spleen
Lamb spleen is an organ meat used in pet foods and treats as a lean, palatable protein and a concentrated source of heme iron and B vitamins (especially B12 and folate), helping to boost micronutrient and mineral levels. It can be useful as a novel protein for pets with sensitivities, but should be properly processed to reduce microbial risk and fed in moderation to avoid creating nutrient imbalances or provoking red‑meat allergies in susceptible animals.
03
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.
04
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.
05
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.
