Ingredient Transparency

The first five ingredients - salmon, beef (source of methionine, glucosamine, and chondroitin sulfate), beef liver, beef kidney, and beef lung - form a protein-dense, organ-rich foundation. Salmon is sourced from New Zealand waters, providing natural omega-3 fatty acids. Grass-fed beef is raised without added hormones or antibiotics. Beef liver, kidney, and lung contribute concentrated micronutrients including vitamin A, B vitamins, iron, and bioavailable amino acids. Lamb adds protein variety. 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 high-protein, omega-rich, multi-protein diet with full organ meat inclusion. It is formulated as a 100% complete and balanced diet for all life stages, including growth. Salmon contributes EPA and DHA for skin, coat, and cognitive support. 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 combination of salmon, beef, and lamb creates a complex flavor profile that is highly appealing to dogs, including picky eaters and those transitioning from raw or fresh diets. No preparation is required; simply pour and serve. The 1 lb size is ideal for trialing the formula or using as a nutrient-dense topper before committing to a larger bag.

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.
