Frozen Raw Bison Entree for Dogs - 6 lb

Raw Bistro didn't build this frozen bison entree around a single cut of meat — they built it around the whole animal. Bison, bison heart, bison kidney, ground bison bone, and bison liver form the protein base, giving dogs the organ and bone content of a whole-prey model diet rather than a muscle-meat-only grind.

Each 6 lb. bag holds twelve 8 oz. raw bison patties, individually portioned in a resealable zip bag so a pet parent can thaw exactly what's needed for one meal instead of defrosting a whole brick. The bison is free-range and pasture-raised on Midwest family farms, raised without antibiotics or added hormones. Organic butternut squash, broccoli, red peppers, and blueberries round out the recipe for fiber, minerals, enzymes, and antioxidants, and the entire batch is produced at Raw Bistro's own facility in Cannon Falls, Minnesota.

Commodity raw and freeze-dried diets are frequently built from a single muscle cut, with a synthetic vitamin-mineral premix added afterward to reach AAFCO minimums. This entree takes the opposite approach: organ meat and bone are part of the base formula from the start — which is where a dog's diet naturally gets iron, copper, and calcium — rather than added in after the fact to check a box on the label. With no grain, corn, or soy and a nutrient profile built around meat, organ, and bone, this entree fits naturally into paleo-style, ancestral, or prey-model feeding approaches for dogs.

Each 2 oz. patty portion provides 76 kcal (1,338 kcal/kg calculated metabolizable energy), with a guaranteed analysis of 14% crude protein (min), 7% crude fat (min), 1% crude fiber (max), and 74% moisture (max) — the high moisture content typical of an unprocessed raw diet.

Use Raw Bistro's online feeding calculator to set a daily baseline by your dog's weight and how much of their diet is raw, then thaw only what's needed that day. Patties also work as a 10-50% raw topper mixed with kibble for dogs transitioning gradually.

Owners who've fed this entree for years report consistent results at check-ups and dogs that visibly look forward to mealtime.

Common Questions

How is this bison entrée different from typical raw or freeze-dried dog food?
Most raw formulas use a single muscle cut and supplement afterward with a synthetic vitamin-mineral premix to reach AAFCO minimums. This entrée includes bison heart, kidney, liver, and ground bone directly in the recipe alongside muscle meat, so organ- and bone-derived nutrients like iron, copper, and calcium come from the whole animal rather than an add-back premix.

What's the guaranteed analysis and calorie content of this entrée?
Each 2 oz. patty portion provides 76 kcal, or 1,338 kcal/kg on a calculated metabolizable energy basis. The guaranteed analysis is 14% crude protein (minimum), 7% crude fat (minimum), 1% crude fiber (maximum), and 74% moisture (maximum) — moisture content typical of a raw, unprocessed diet rather than kibble.

Is this bison entrée appropriate for puppies and senior dogs?
Yes. Raw Bistro formulates this recipe to meet AAFCO dog food nutrient profiles for all life stages, meaning it's built to support puppies, adults, and senior dogs rather than being labeled for maintenance only. As with any diet change, introduce gradually and consult your veterinarian for dogs with existing health conditions.

How do I transition my dog onto this raw bison entrée?
Use the feeding calculator on Raw Bistro's site to set a daily baseline based on your dog's weight and what percentage of their diet will be raw. Many owners start by mixing thawed patties in as a 10-50% topper over kibble, then increase the raw percentage over one to two weeks as the dog adjusts.

Where does the bison come from, and how are the animals raised?
The bison are free-range and pasture-raised on family farms in the Midwest, raised without antibiotics or added hormones. The entrée itself is mixed, portioned, and packaged in small batches at Raw Bistro's own facility in Cannon Falls, Minnesota, rather than at a third-party co-packer.

Is this recipe grain-free, and does it work for dogs with food sensitivities?
Yes, this entrée is grain-free and contains no corn or soy — bison is the sole animal protein, which makes it a useful option for owners rotating proteins away from more common triggers like beef or chicken. Talk to your veterinarian before starting any elimination diet for a suspected food sensitivity.

Why does this recipe include ground bison bone, and is that safe to feed daily?
Ground bone supplies calcium and phosphorus in a form that's finely processed into the entrée rather than fed as a whole bone, so it can be part of a daily complete-and-balanced diet without the choking or fracture risk associated with feeding whole bones. It's one of the reasons this recipe can meet AAFCO's full-life-stage mineral requirements without relying solely on supplements.
