What it is The chub holds only the six listed animal ingredients, ground raw and frozen, with no vitamin or mineral premix mixed in.
Our grade
- Marketing
- Modest
- Meaningful
Skipping the premix is why the pack says intermittent or supplemental feeding. Puppies need set levels of calcium, zinc and vitamin D, and meat plus bone alone doesn't guarantee them.
Marketing The claim outruns anything in the recipe.
Chicken bone sits last of six, the only real calcium source in a mix sold for growing puppies, with no premix to fine-tune it.

How was it proven?
Neither route
The pack says it's for intermittent or supplemental feeding, so it meets no AAFCO profile, puppy or adult. It has to sit beside a complete food.
-
Is it a high-protein food?
Yes, very
About 59% protein on a dry basis against 46.6% for the average frozen food we list, with essentially no carbs.
- Feed it to
- Dogs already on a complete food whose owners want raw beef, tripe and organ as a topper.
- Skip it for
- Puppies fed this as their whole diet, fat-sensitive dogs, dogs allergic to beef or chicken, and homes with immune-weak people.
