Strong Choice
This is a high-protein, high-fat freeze-dried raw diet centered on pork, organs, and bone, formulated to meet AAFCO requirements for all life stages including large-breed growth. It’s a very nutrient- and calorie-dense option that can suit active dogs or those needing concentrated nutrition, as long as portions are measured carefully. The single animal protein source and added probiotics and antioxidants may be helpful for some dogs that do well on simple, meat-focused recipes.

Strengths
- Pork, pork liver, and pork bone make up 95% of the recipe, giving a rich source of animal protein and minerals.
- AAFCO complete and balanced for all life stages, including large-breed puppies, so it can be a sole diet if fed as directed.
- Very high protein and fat levels provide concentrated calories for active dogs or those needing to gain weight under guidance.
- Includes added taurine, probiotics, and organic fruits and vegetables to support digestion and overall nutrient variety.
Considerations
- The very high fat level may not be ideal for dogs with a history of pancreatitis or those needing a lower-fat diet.
- This food is extremely calorie dense, so overfeeding is easy if patties are not carefully measured and rehydrated as directed.
- Being a raw, freeze-dried product, it may not be suitable for households or dogs where minimizing raw-food handling risk is a priority.
- Pork is a common animal protein, so dogs with known pork allergies or sensitivities would need a different protein source.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained
01
Pork
Pork is used in pet foods primarily as a high-quality animal protein and flavor enhancer, supplying essential amino acids, B vitamins (especially B12 and niacin), iron and zinc, plus fat for calorie-dense energy; it can be suitable for both dogs and cats when balanced in a complete diet. Because pork can be relatively high in fat, it may be inappropriate for pets requiring low‑fat diets or those prone to pancreatitis, some animals may have sensitivities to pork, and raw or undercooked pork can carry parasites or pathogens so it should be properly processed or cooked.

02
Pork Liver
Pork liver is an organ meat used in pet foods as a nutrient‑dense source of high‑quality protein and concentrated vitamins and minerals—notably vitamin A, B vitamins (including B12 and folate), iron and copper—that support red blood cell production, skin/coat condition and overall metabolism. Because liver is very rich in vitamin A and certain minerals, it should be included in limited amounts to avoid hypervitaminosis A or mineral imbalances and must be properly processed to reduce pathogen risk; pets with urinary stone issues or a pork sensitivity should use caution.
03
Pork Bone
Pork bone is commonly used in pet foods as a source of calcium, phosphorus and other minerals and is often rendered into bone meal or incorporated as bone broth or ground bone to add minerals, collagen and flavor. It can contribute to skeletal mineral balance and provide gelatinous collagen that may support joint and gut health, but whole or cooked pork bones can splinter and cause choking or intestinal injury, excessive bone can upset the calcium:phosphorus ratio or cause constipation, and products should be properly processed and sourced to minimize bacterial or parasite risks.
04
Fenugreek Seed
Fenugreek seed is used in pet foods and supplements mainly as a natural flavoring and an ingredient high in soluble fiber and phytochemicals, contributing modest amounts of protein, vitamins and minerals. It may help with palatability and digestion, but because fenugreek contains bioactive compounds that can have hypoglycemic and estrogenic effects and may cause gastrointestinal upset or rare allergic reactions, it should be used in moderation and with veterinary guidance for diabetic, pregnant, or medicated animals.
05
Pork Kidney
Pork kidney is an organ meat used as a protein-rich, nutrient-dense ingredient in pet foods, supplying high-quality animal protein along with B vitamins (notably B12 and riboflavin), iron, phosphorus and trace minerals that support energy metabolism and red blood cell health in dogs and cats. It is typically included in moderation because organ meats have concentrated minerals and purines, so sourcing from inspected, properly processed suppliers is important to minimize contamination and it may be unsuitable for pets with certain conditions such as existing kidney disease.
