Raw Dynamic Frozen Raw DOG FOOD

With an average score of 9.3/10, Raw Dynamic Frozen Raw is a low risk dog food by our criteria. There are 6 recipes that average 47% protein and 16% carbohydrate. 

The Rabbit, Duck and Turkey recipes are a bit higher in carbohydrates than acceptable for a raw food. They lost ingredient quality points for this. However, there are not any added grains or starches. The carbohydrates are from whole food ingredients. 

A noteworthy item is that there are no added vitamins and minerals in any of the recipes. Vitamin E is present as a preservative. This speaks highly of the quality of the whole food ingredients. They don’t require synthetic supplements. Additionally, these are raw foods so there is light processing. This doesn’t affect the nutritional value.

Another note worth mentioning is the use of organic ingredients. They are non-GMO and have low pesticide risk. These recipes also include probiotics, however they don’t guarantee the amount of CFU. Colony forming units are the number of viable bacteria present in a supplement or food. Recommendations vary, suggesting CFUs between several million to billions for healthy dogs. Colony forming units are the number of viable bacteria present in a supplement or food. Recommendations vary, suggesting CFUs between several million to 2-5 billion for healthy dogs. Probiotics are not one size fits all. There are different strains available to tackle different challenges. They also support long-term health. 

The only other concern that lowered the score is the use of fish oil. When a specific fish is not named, it can come from much lower quality ingredients. You want to see beef, salmon or chicken, not animal, fish or poultry. 

It’s not mentioned whether the source of the fish oil is wild caught or farmed. Wild caught fish is preferred as it’s more nutritious and has a better fatty acid balance. 

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.
