Raw Dynamic is a family-owned raw pet food company. It’s based in New York but there is no information about the owners or the actual location. The website states the company has its own manufacturing facility.
Raw Dynamic appears to be a small raw company from New York State. Overall, the company offers acceptable options for raw and freeze dried dog foods. Two lines score equally high. They are equal in ingredient quality and safety. It has 1 line of raw and 1 line of freeze dried dog foods that are all considered low risk.
One of the noteworthy things about these foods is that there are no added vitamins and minerals. This speaks highly of the quality of the whole food ingredients. They don’t require synthetic supplements. Additionally, these are raw and freeze dried foods. There is light and moderate processing that doesn’t affect the nutritional value.
There are 6 raw recipes. They lose points for having higher carbohydrates in 3 recipes. There are no added grains or starches. The carbohydrates are from the whole food ingredients. There is fish oil in all recipes. A specific fish source is not named. That means the ingredients can come from much lower quality sources. You want to see beef, salmon or chicken, not animal, fish or poultry.
The freeze dried recipes are similar in scoring and concerns. They seem to share the same ingredients with the main difference being processing.
The company states its produce is certified organic and is non-GMO. It doesn’t appear to have these seals on its packaging. Organic produce has less pesticide residue. They are also non-GMO as part of their organic certification. Most meat products are from the US, with rabbit from France and lamb from New Zealand.
The company uses high pressure pasteurization (HPP) on its chicken formulas. They do not use HPP on beef, lamb, turkey, duck, rabbit formulas.
It’s worth noting that Raw Dynamic doesn’t provide the omega-6:omega-3 ratio in their foods. While this is true of most companies, it’s a concern because AAFCO allows a very inflammatory ratio of 30:1.
Better transparency about the company and its origins would give it more credibility. It would help the credibility of its processes and products. The company website says it uses ethically raised meats. They are grass-fed, pasture-raised, cage-free, and free-range. These are marketing terms that give the appearance of quality. There are certifications available to substantiate these claims and eliminate any doubt. Additionally, the labelling and packaging don’t offer any certifications about these claims.
