Frozen Raw Lamb Entree for Dogs - 6 lb

Raw Bistro's grain-free lamb entrée is built on pastured lamb raised on family farms without antibiotics or added hormones — whole muscle meat plus lamb heart, liver, and kidney, so the organ-to-muscle ratio mirrors what a dog would get from a whole prey animal rather than trimmed cuts with a supplement pack added afterward. This species-appropriate, grain-free formula suits raw-fed, prey-model, and biologically appropriate feeding plans, and works equally well as a dog's sole diet or rotated alongside other proteins.

Each 6-lb bag holds twelve 8-oz patties, portioned for easy thawing and precise feeding. The entrée is mixed in small batches at Raw Bistro's own facility in Cannon Falls, Minnesota, and formulated to meet AAFCO Adult Maintenance nutrient profiles — a complete and balanced raw meal, not a supplement or topper.

Guaranteed analysis: 14% crude protein (min), 12% crude fat (min), 1% crude fiber (max), and 70% moisture (max) — 1,760 kcal/kg, or about 100 kcal per 2 oz. serving. Organic kale, beets, yams, and cranberries supply fiber, antioxidants, and micronutrients, while oyster shell powder, organic kelp, and chelated zinc and manganese round out the mineral profile.

Use Raw Bistro's feeding calculator to find a starting point for this raw dog food based on your dog's weight and what percentage of the diet is raw — most adult dogs start around 2-3% of body weight per day, adjusted for activity and body condition. Thaw a patty in the refrigerator before serving, or introduce it gradually alongside current kibble during a transition period.

Owners feeding this lamb entrée long-term report visible coat and muscle-condition changes after switching, and several specifically call out lamb as their dog's favorite protein in Raw Bistro's lineup.

Common Questions

How does this raw lamb entrée compare nutritionally to a typical bag of kibble?
This entrée runs up to 70% moisture, compared to roughly 10% moisture in dry kibble, since nothing has been extruded or dehydrated out of it. Crude protein is 14% minimum and crude fat 12% minimum on an as-fed basis, which is lower on paper than kibble's guaranteed analysis simply because kibble numbers are calculated on a dry-matter basis with most of the water removed. Once you convert both to dry-matter equivalent, raw diets like this one typically land in a comparable-to-higher protein range than kibble, while also delivering organ meat that most extruded kibble formulas don't include at all.

Why does the ingredient list include lamb heart, liver, and kidney instead of just ground lamb muscle meat?
Organ meats are dramatically more nutrient-dense than muscle meat for specific compounds a dog's body actually uses: liver is one of the richest natural sources of vitamin A and B12, kidney contributes selenium, and heart is a concentrated source of taurine and CoQ10. Feeding organs alongside muscle meat approximates what a dog would consume eating a whole prey animal, rather than isolating the parts that are easiest to process at scale.

Is this lamb entrée nutritionally complete, or does it need to be supplemented?
It's formulated to meet AAFCO Adult Maintenance nutrient profiles on its own, with oyster shell powder for calcium, chelated zinc and manganese for mineral bioavailability, and added vitamin E and D3 to round out the profile. No supplementation is needed for adult dogs. It is not formulated to meet AAFCO growth (puppy) nutrient levels, so it shouldn't be the sole diet for a growing puppy without a vet's input.

How much should I feed my dog daily?
Raw Bistro's feeding calculator gives a starting point based on your dog's weight and what percentage of their diet will be raw. As a general baseline, adult dogs at maintenance do well starting around 2-3% of body weight per day, split across meals, then adjusted up or down based on body condition and activity level. Each patty provides roughly 100 kcal per 2 oz., which makes calculating precise portions straightforward.

How was the lamb raised, and what does 'pastured' mean here?
The lamb comes from family farms where animals are raised on pasture without antibiotics or added hormones. This is a meaningfully different standard than commodity lamb, which is often raised in confinement operations with routine antibiotic use. Raw Bistro lists this product under Organic and Humanely Raised certifications on its own labeling.

Can I mix this with my dog's current kibble, or does it need to be fed alone?
It can be fed exclusively as a complete raw diet or introduced gradually alongside kibble during a transition period. Many owners start by replacing a portion of a kibble meal with a thawed patty and increasing the raw portion over one to two weeks to let the dog's digestive system adjust.

How should I store and thaw the patties?
Keep the bag frozen until you're ready to feed. Thaw individual 8-oz patties in the refrigerator rather than at room temperature, and once thawed, use within a few days and don't refreeze. Each 6-lb bag contains twelve individually portioned patties, so you only need to thaw what you'll use.
