Free Range Raw Blend Baked Kibble

Dog · Dry Adult Puppy All Breed Sizes

This is a high-protein, baked dry dog food that combines kibble with freeze-dried raw pieces, using lamb and other red meats as key protein sources. It’s relatively low in carbohydrates and includes organic fruits and vegetables, added taurine, and probiotics. The formula is designed for puppies and adult dogs who do well on a richer, meat-focused diet with some digestive and skin–coat support.

KibbleLab Score
8.5 out of 10

Strong Choice

This diet offers a meat-heavy, relatively low-carbohydrate option for dogs, with lamb as the primary protein and several other animal proteins included. It’s suitable for many healthy puppies and adults who tolerate multiple protein sources and a higher fat, higher protein style of feeding. The added omega fatty acids, taurine, joint-support ingredients, and probiotics make it a well-rounded choice for dogs that don’t have food sensitivities to these ingredients.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Lamb and lamb meal are the main ingredients, giving a strong animal-protein base for most dogs’ needs.
  • Carbohydrate level is relatively low compared with many kibbles, which some active dogs do well on.
  • Includes probiotics, omega-3 and omega-6 fats, and added taurine for digestive and overall nutritional support.
  • Provides glucosamine and chondroitin, which contribute building blocks for joint health, especially in larger or active dogs.

Considerations

  • Contains several potential allergens, including lamb, beef fat, pork meal, salmon oil, peas, and lentils, so it may not suit dogs with food allergies.
  • Peas and lentils are high in the ingredient list; grain-free, legume-heavy diets have been linked to heart issues in some dogs, so discuss with your vet if you’re concerned about DCM.
  • Multiple different animal proteins are used, which can make future elimination diets trickier if food allergies ever need to be investigated.

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.

03
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.
View ingredient
04
Pea
Pea is a plant-based ingredient used in pet foods as a source of protein, soluble and insoluble fiber, and micronutrients (often included as whole peas, pea flour, or pea protein concentrate) to boost protein content and improve texture. While peas can provide digestible carbohydrates, fiber, and some plant protein useful especially for dogs, they are not a complete protein for obligate carnivores like cats and — when overused, particularly in concentrated forms or as a major component of grain‑free diets — have been scrutinized for a possible association with canine dilated cardiomyopathy and can contribute to nutrient imbalances or excess calories, so balanced formulation and compliance with AAFCO nutritional profiles are important.
View ingredient
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.
