Lamb, Goat & Chicken Freeze-Dried Raw Topper
Verified May 31, 2026
This is a high-protein, freeze-dried raw topper for dogs made primarily from lamb, goat, and chicken, with added fruits, herbs, and a full vitamin–mineral mix. It’s designed to be sprinkled over your dog’s regular food or used as a treat to boost protein, flavor, and variety. The recipe also includes flaxseed for healthy fats and added probiotics to support digestive health.
Nutritionally, this is a rich, meat-based topper with very high protein and moderate fat, intended to complement your dog’s main diet rather than replace it. The inclusion of multiple animal proteins, fruits, herbs, flaxseed, and probiotics makes it a nice way to add extra nutrients and palatability for most adult dogs. It’s best suited for dogs without chicken or mixed-protein allergies and works well as a high-value food enhancer or treat.

At a Glance
KibbleLab Review
Strengths
- Very high protein (48% minimum) and moderate fat (19% minimum), appropriate for a meat-rich freeze-dried topper.
- Multiple animal proteins (lamb, goat, chicken) as the first ingredients provide a broad amino acid profile and good palatability.
- Includes flaxseed for omega fatty acids, plus blueberries, cranberries, papaya, and mango for natural phytonutrients.
- Contains added probiotics (Enterococcus faecium, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium longum), which can support digestive health in some dogs, along with a full vitamin–mineral premix for nutritional completeness as a topper.
Considerations
- Contains chicken, lamb, and goat, so it is not appropriate for dogs with known allergies to any of these proteins.
- As a freeze-dried, calorie-dense product (about 221 kcal per cup), portions should be kept small and adjusted so your dog doesn’t gain excess weight.
- This is formulated and described as a topper or treat, so it should be fed alongside a complete and balanced main diet, not as the dog’s sole food.

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
Goat
Goat is used in pet foods as a novel animal protein source—lean and digestible meat that provides high-quality protein and nutrients such as iron and B vitamins, and is often chosen for dogs or cats with sensitivities to common proteins. While it can be a useful alternative in elimination diets, pet parents should ensure the product is formulated to be complete and balanced (including adequate taurine for cats), be aware individual animals can still react, and avoid feeding raw goat due to parasite and bacterial risks.
03
Chicken
Chicken is a common animal-based protein in dog and cat foods, supplying essential amino acids, B vitamins, and energy-dense fats that support muscle maintenance, growth, and overall health; for cats it also contributes toward dietary taurine but must be present in sufficient amounts or provided via supplementation. It is prized for its digestibility and palatability, though some pets develop sensitivities or allergies to chicken, and nutritional value and safety depend on ingredient quality and processing—raw chicken carries pathogen risks and whole bones can pose choking or GI hazards.
04
Flaxseed
Flaxseed is used in pet foods as a plant-based source of alpha‑linolenic acid (ALA) omega‑3, soluble and insoluble fiber, and modest protein, often added to support skin and coat condition, digestive health, and kibble texture; ground seed or flaxseed oil is more digestible than whole seed. Dogs can partially convert ALA to long‑chain EPA/DHA but cats convert ALA poorly and therefore still need marine sources for essential DHA/EPA; flax is calorie‑dense, prone to oxidation if not stabilized, and contains lignans (phytoestrogens) and trace cyanogenic compounds, so it should be processed and used in moderation.
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.
