  2. Days 4–6: 50% raw with 50% current food.

Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Is lamb good for a sensitive dog?+

Lamb is often used as a novel protein for dogs with common protein sensitivities. Always transition gradually and watch how your dog responds.

Why oyster shell flour instead of ground bone?+

Boneless lamb is used, so oyster shell flour provides a natural, food-based calcium source to keep the recipe complete and balanced.

Is this recipe complete and balanced?+

Yes. Every recipe in The Loved Dog™ Frozen Raw Collection is formulated to meet AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for all life stages, including growth of large-size dogs.

Orders ship frozen, direct from Raw Bistro, packed with insulation and dry ice to maintain freshness in transit.

Do I need to add anything?+
