Why Pet Owners Choose This Food
- 90% real grass-fed New Zealand lamb and venison - ethically raised without added hormones or antibiotics
- Novel protein combination - lamb and venison are less common proteins, making this a practical option for dogs with sensitivities to more common protein sources
- Lamb lung and lamb liver deliver concentrated organ nutrition - vitamins, minerals, and bioavailable amino acids
- Air-dried using a small-batch technique that preserves nutrients and natural flavor without cooking
- New Zealand green mussel provides naturally occurring glucosamine and chondroitin for joint support
- Flaxseed meal delivers omega-3 fatty acids and prebiotic fiber for skin, coat, and digestive health
- Shelf-stable and ready to serve - no defrosting or rehydrating required
Ingredient Transparency
The first five ingredients - lamb (source of methionine, glucosamine, and chondroitin sulfate), lamb lung, lamb liver, venison, and vegetable glycerin - form a protein-dense, organ-rich foundation. Grass-fed lamb is sourced from New Zealand farms without added hormones or antibiotics. Lamb is a digestible protein source, while venison provides lean, concentrated protein. Lamb lung and liver contribute micronutrients including vitamin A, B vitamins, and iron. The formula contains no artificial additives and is preserved naturally with mixed tocopherols. Ingredients are grown without bioengineering.
Nutritional Positioning
This formula is designed as a novel protein, multi-source diet with full organ meat inclusion. It is formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for all life stages, including growth of large size dogs (70 lbs or more as an adult). Added taurine supports cardiovascular function. Chelated minerals are included for superior absorption. A complete vitamin profile ensures balanced daily nutrition. Contact the manufacturer for specific guaranteed analysis figures.
Texture, Palatability, and Feeding Experience
The air-drying process produces a moist, chunky texture that closely resembles real meat - distinct from traditional dry kibble. The lamb and venison combination offers a rich, savory flavor profile that is appealing to dogs, including those being rotated off more common proteins. No preparation is required; simply pour and serve. The 5 lb bag supports extended daily feeding for single-dog households or provides a practical supply for multi-dog homes.
Feeding Guidance and Portion Use
Use the manufacturer's feeding chart as a starting point based on your dog's weight. Puppies and pregnant or nursing females should receive approximately double the adult amount, divided into 2-3 feedings per day. When used as a mixer or topper, reduce your dog's current diet proportionally - start with 1/4 the daily recommended amount of RawTernative and 3/4 of the usual diet. Transition gradually over 7-10 days when switching from another food.
Safety, Storage, and Handling
Store in a cool, dry place. Seal the bag tightly after each use. Always provide fresh, clean drinking water alongside meals. Consult your veterinarian for feeding recommendations specific to your dog's health, weight, and activity level.
