Is It Right for Your Dog?
A good fit if:
- You want raw nutrition from whole foods with no synthetic vitamins or minerals.
- Your dog does well on poultry and fish.
- You want a recipe that works as a full meal or a topper.
Maybe not the best choice if:
- Your dog is allergic or sensitive to poultry (duck or turkey) or fish. This recipe is no longer duck-only.
- You need a single-protein raw diet. Look at Primal Raw Lamb Patties or Venison Patties, and check the ingredient list before switching.
- Your dog is on a vet-prescribed diet. Ask your vet first.
