Dehydrated Lamb Entree for Dogs - 1 lb

Raw Bistro's Dehydrated Lamb Entrée is a grass-fed, poultry-free dehydrated dog food built for owners who read the ingredient panel before the marketing copy.

The recipe starts with grass-fed, pasture-raised lamb, then adds lamb heart, liver, and kidney — organ meats that supply concentrated B vitamins, iron, and taurine that muscle meat alone doesn't provide. Organic kale, beets, yams, and cranberries add fiber and antioxidants, while oyster shell powder, zinc and manganese amino acid chelates, and vitamins E and D3 round out a complete and balanced recipe for adult dogs. One pound of this dehydrated entrée rehydrates into up to 4 lbs of finished food, so a small bag stretches across weeks of meals.

Guaranteed analysis runs 42% crude protein (min) and 36% crude fat (min), with 3% crude fiber (max) and 10% moisture (max) — calorie-dense at 5,280 kcal/kg (390 kcal/cup), built for dogs that need more out of every bite. To serve, rehydrate with warm water until the texture reaches a stew-like consistency, or feed dry as a high-value treat.

Because lamb is a naturally poultry-free protein, this entrée works well for rotational feeding programs or dogs managing chicken and turkey sensitivities. This recipe is also grain-free and gluten-free, with no corn, wheat, or soy fillers, making it well suited to ancestral, species-appropriate feeding styles built around meat, organs, and whole-food produce. Store in a cool, dry place — no refrigeration or freezing required — and reseal the bag tightly between servings to preserve freshness.

Ingredients: Lamb, Lamb Heart, Lamb Liver, Lamb Kidney, Organic Kale, Organic Beets, Organic Yams, Organic Cranberries, Oyster Shell Powder, Organic Walnut Oil, Inulin (extract of chicory), Sea Salt, Organic Kelp, Zinc Amino Acid Chelate, Vitamin E Supplement, Manganese Amino Acid Chelate, and Vitamin D3 Supplement.

Common Questions

How is this different from a conventional dehydrated dog food?
Most dehydrated dog foods use only muscle meat and rely on synthetic vitamin packs to round out nutrition. This recipe adds lamb heart, liver, and kidney alongside grass-fed, pasture-raised lamb muscle meat, so taurine, iron, and B vitamins come from whole organ tissue rather than an isolated supplement blend. The produce inputs are organic (kale, beets, yams, cranberries) rather than the conventional vegetable trim used as filler in many budget formulas.

Why include organ meats like heart, liver, and kidney?
Heart is a dense source of taurine and CoQ10, liver concentrates vitamin A, copper, and B12, and kidney contributes selenium and additional B vitamins. In the wild, canines instinctively eat organs first because they're the most nutrient-dense part of the animal. Including all three mimics a whole-prey nutrient profile that a single-cut muscle-meat recipe can't replicate.

Is this a complete and balanced meal, or just a topper?
It's formulated as complete and balanced for adult dogs, meaning it can be fed as the sole diet once rehydrated. With 42% crude protein (min) and 36% crude fat (min) on a dry-matter basis, it's calorie-dense enough to serve as a full meal in smaller portions than a typical kibble, though many owners also use it as a rehydrated topper or dry training treat.

How do I prepare it — straight from the bag or rehydrated?
For a complete meal, mix the dehydrated food with warm water and let it sit for a few minutes until it reaches a moist, stew-like texture — one pound of dehydrated product yields up to 4 lbs of rehydrated food. For a treat or on-the-go feeding, it can be fed dry straight from the bag with no prep at all.

Why is lamb a good option for dogs with food sensitivities?
Chicken and turkey are the most common proteins in commercial dog food, which makes them the most common triggers for food sensitivities. Lamb is a less-frequently-fed protein, which makes it a useful option for rotational feeding or as an elimination-diet protein for dogs suspected of having poultry sensitivities.

What does grass-fed, pasture-raised actually mean for the lamb in this recipe?
Grass-fed means the lamb's diet was forage-based rather than grain-finished in a feedlot, and pasture-raised means the animals had continuous outdoor access rather than confinement housing. Both are verifiable raising-method claims tied to how the animal was fed and housed, distinct from and often absent in commodity dehydrated pet food.

Does this recipe contain any artificial preservatives or flavor enhancers?
No — preservation comes from the dehydration process itself, which removes moisture to below 10% (max) and creates a shelf-stable product without synthetic preservatives. The added nutrients are limited to oyster shell powder, amino acid-chelated zinc and manganese, and vitamins E and D3, all disclosed on the ingredient panel.
