BOSS DOG Freeze-dried DOG FOOD Review

Boss freeze dried raw is considered a low risk food with a score of 8.7. It received high safety scores for each of the 4 foods in this line. This is also reflected in its minimal processing. It lost points for having foods subjected to pesticide/herbicide use.

On the quality side, one area of concern was for having higher carbs in 2 recipes. And each of the 4 foods lost a point for having added minerals. Minerals were minimum but when 5 or more are added it can indicate it’s lacking naturally occurring minerals from whole food sources. On the plus side, it relied on ingredients to supply vitamins and amino acids.

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.
