Ingredient Transparency
Chicken leads the formula at 92% real content, sourced from ethically raised, cage-free animals in New Zealand. Chicken liver provides organ-based nutrition rich in vitamin A, B vitamins, iron, and bioavailable amino acids. Vegetable glycerin aids in texture and moisture retention during the air-drying process. Flaxseed meal contributes omega-3 fatty acids and beneficial fiber for skin, coat, and digestive support. New Zealand green mussel delivers naturally occurring glucosamine and chondroitin for joint support. Chelated minerals (zinc, iron, copper, manganese) provide superior bioavailability. Taurine is added to support heart health. The formula is naturally preserved with mixed tocopherols, citric acid, and rosemary extract - no artificial additives.
Nutritional Positioning
This air-dried dog food is formulated as a 100% complete and balanced diet meeting AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for all life stages, including growth. The high animal protein content from chicken muscle and liver supports lean muscle development and maintenance across all life stages. Chicken is one of the most digestible protein sources available, making this formula well-suited for dogs with sensitive systems or those requiring a straightforward, single-protein diet. The air-dried format delivers raw-equivalent nutrition in a shelf-stable, convenient form.
Texture, Palatability, and Feeding Experience
The air-dried format produces a dense, slightly chewy texture that is highly palatable for most dogs. The natural chicken and liver flavor profile is broadly well-accepted across breeds and life stages, including picky eaters. No preparation is required - simply pour and serve as a complete meal, or use as a mixer or topper alongside your dog's existing diet. The 1 lb bag is well-suited for trialing the formula before committing to a larger size, or for ongoing use as a daily topper.
Feeding Guidance and Portion Use
To feed as a complete diet, follow the manufacturer's feeding chart based on your dog's weight. Puppies and pregnant or nursing females should receive approximately double the standard amount, divided into 2-3 feedings per day. To use as a mixer or topper, start with 1/4 of the daily recommended RawTernative amount alongside 3/4 of your dog's usual diet, adjusting proportions gradually. No defrosting or rehydrating required. Transition gradually over 7-10 days when switching from another food. Always provide access to fresh, clean water. Consult your veterinarian for personalized feeding recommendations.
Safety, Storage, and Handling
Shelf-stable - store in a cool, dry place. Reseal the bag tightly after each use to maintain freshness. Keep out of reach of children and other animals. Ensure fresh water is available at all times during feeding.
