BOSS DOG RAW DOG FOOD Review

This is a low risk frozen raw food with a score of 8.3. This line received a favorable score for food safety, which also reflects minimal processing. It lost points for having foods subjected to pesticide/herbicide use.

A point is lost in quality for including added minerals. Although it’s not the typical pre-mix used by many, it still indicates nutrients are lacking from the ingredients. The beef recipe lost an additional point for having a higher carb content which could be due to the fruits and vegetables as these foods don’t contain starches. 

The website states that the fish oil is a combination of Alaska wild caught salmon, pollock and herring which is good to know. However, it’s not clear whether the pollock and herring are also wild-caught. Wild-caught fish has a healthier fatty acid balance. But the omega-6:omega-3 ratio isn’t provided. Omega-6 fats are inflammatory and AAFCO allows a very high ratio of 30:1. 

All Boss foods include probiotics. The company guarantees the CFUs (colony forming units) on all of their products.
