Iron Will Raw - Nothing But Chicken (For Dogs & Cats) - Frozen Product

Iron Will Raw Nothing But Chicken is a frozen raw pet food for dogs and cats, made from ground chicken with bone, boneless chicken meat, chicken heart, and chicken liver, with nothing else added. There are no vegetables, fruit, grains, or added vitamins. It's the same recipe Iron Will Raw used to sell as Basics Chicken, just under a new name.

Chicken is where a lot of people start with raw feeding. It's a familiar protein that most dogs and cats accept easily, and it's one of the most budget-friendly options in Iron Will Raw's Nothing But line. Customers use it as an everyday protein in a rotation, as a base for home-made raw meals, or as a simple way to try raw before committing to a full diet.

One thing to know before buying: it isn't labelled as complete and balanced on its own. Iron Will Raw's complete recipes are their Canine Complete and Feline Complete lines. See the FAQ below for how to use Nothing But Chicken in your pet's diet.

A good fit if:

• You're new to raw feeding and want a simple, familiar protein to start with.
• You feed raw and want an affordable everyday protein for your rotation.
• You make your own raw meals and want a ready-ground meat, organ, and bone base.
• You feed both dogs and cats and want one raw base for the whole household.

Maybe not the best choice if:

• Your pet is sensitive or allergic to chicken or poultry. Chicken is one of the proteins most often linked to food allergies in dogs, so it isn't suited to an elimination diet.
• Your pet needs a low-fat diet or has a history of pancreatitis. Once you remove the water, this food is roughly 40% fat.
• You want a single food to feed every day with nothing added. Look at Iron Will Raw's complete and balanced recipes instead.
• You're feeding a puppy or kitten. Growing pets need a diet formulated for growth.

Chicken and bone, boneless chicken meat, chicken heart, chicken liver.

Here's what each part adds. The chicken meat and heart provide most of the protein. The ground bone supplies natural calcium and phosphorus. The liver adds vitamins and minerals that muscle meat alone is low in, such as vitamin A, B vitamins, and iron.

Dry matter values are calculated by us from the guaranteed analysis so you can compare this food with kibble or other raw recipes.

How much to feed: A 1 lb pack has about 790 calories. As a general starting point, many adult dogs eat about 2–3% of their ideal body weight in raw food per day, and less if they're overweight or less active. Adjust based on your pet's weight and body condition, or ask us in store for help working out portions.

Switching over: Mix a small amount into your pet's current food and increase it gradually over about a week to avoid an upset stomach.

Thawing: Keep frozen until needed. Thaw on a plate in the fridge, or in cold water. Don't thaw on the counter or in the microwave.

After thawing: Keep it covered in the fridge and use it within 3 days.

Clean-up: Like any raw chicken, this can carry bacteria such as Salmonella, so handle it the way you would chicken for your own dinner. Wash bowls, utensils, cutting boards, and counters with hot, soapy water after each meal, and wash your hands after handling. This product is made in a HACCP-certified facility.

Is Iron Will Raw Nothing But Chicken the same as Basics Chicken?

Yes. Iron Will Raw renamed its Basics line to "Nothing But." The recipe is the same.

Can I feed Nothing But Chicken to both dogs and cats?

Yes. Iron Will Raw offers the Nothing But line for both dogs and cats. Because it isn't labelled as a complete diet, feed it as part of a varied raw diet rather than as the only food.

Is Nothing But Chicken a complete and balanced diet?

It isn't labelled as complete and balanced. It's just chicken, organs, and bone with no added vitamins or minerals. Most people use it for protein rotation or as a base for home-made raw meals. If you want to feed it as your pet's main diet long-term, work with your vet or a veterinary nutritionist to balance it.

Is raw chicken a good first raw food for my dog or cat?

For many pets, yes. Chicken is familiar, widely accepted, and simple, which makes it easy to see how your pet handles raw. Start with small amounts mixed into their current food and increase gradually over about a week.

What's the difference between Nothing But Chicken and Iron Will Raw's complete dinners?

Iron Will Raw's Canine Complete and Feline Complete dinners have added ingredients and supplements so they can be fed on their own every day. Nothing But Chicken is only chicken, organs, and bone, which gives you more control if you build your own meals or rotate proteins.

Is raw chicken safe to handle at home?

Yes, with the same care you'd use for raw chicken in your kitchen. Thaw it in the fridge, keep it cold, wash bowls and surfaces with hot soapy water, and wash your hands after handling.

How long does it last once thawed?

Keep thawed food covered in the fridge and use it within 3 days.
