RAWZ Meal-Free Chicken Turkey is poultry-dense, with dehydrated chicken, dehydrated deboned chicken, chicken, turkey, livers, and hearts before pea starch, peas, tapioca, and egg appear.
At 40% protein, 12% fat, and 3,710 kcal/kg, It is worth considering for dogs needing high protein without high fat, while excluding it for suspected poultry allergy or pea avoidance.

03. CHOOSING FOR YOUR DOG
What to consider before feeding
Dehydrated Chicken, Dehydrated Deboned Chicken supply animal protein at the start of the ingredient list. Pea Starch, Tapioca Starch supply carbohydrate energy. The recipe combines animal protein sources with carbohydrate sources.
Dried Peas contribute plant protein alongside carbohydrates and fiber further down the ingredient list. Total crude protein is not a measure of meat-derived protein alone. Dried Tomato Pomace supply fiber. For stool or satiety considerations, the disclosed crude-fiber amount adds useful context beyond the ingredient's presence.
Across the registered ingredients, multiple protein sources appear, including chicken, turkey, egg. If a protein must be excluded, any of these sources can change the decision; the first ingredient alone does not make this a single-protein diet.
What works well in this food
- A species-named dehydrated animal ingredient keeps the basic protein structure fairly stable.
- Crude protein is on the higher side.
- Top ingredients do not show a prominent FDA-investigated non-hereditary DCM ingredient profile.
Check before feeding
- Phosphorus is 1.2% on the label, at or above 1%. Senior dogs or dogs with kidney concerns should have phosphorus restriction reviewed with a veterinarian before using it as a staple food.
- Calcium Excess (5.01g/1000 kcal, reference ≤6.25g/1000 kcal): Approaching upper limit. Be cautious of Skeletal developmental abnormalities, impaired zinc absorption risk.
- High protein and weight management are separate questions. Judge weight control by daily calories from portions and treats.
When this food fits your dog
Among foods made the same way, protein is higher, fat is typical, and calorie density is typical. This combination is worth comparing when protein matters but a higher-calorie food is not the aim. High protein alone does not make it an active-dog-only food; judge weight changes against total daily calories.
Consider it first when
- Prioritizing protein without seeking higher calories
- Dogs that already tolerate the disclosed animal proteins
- Shoppers who want a meat-forward recipe
Choose another food first when
- One of the disclosed animal proteins must be excluded
This is still a food-first read, so your own dog can reshuffle the final order later.
