Performance notes
The freeze-dried raw format is designed to hydrate and serve, so it needs water added before feeding as a full meal, which is typical of raw diets built around fresh meat rather than baked kibble. The grass-fed, pasture-raised sourcing and organic produce reflect a higher-end formulation aimed at owners prioritizing ingredient quality over cost per pound.
What buyers say
With 510 reviews averaging 4.6 stars and roughly 600 units bought in the past month, this recipe has a large and consistently positive base, suggesting it performs well as both a meal and a topper for a wide range of dogs.
Is this meant to be a dog's complete diet or just a topper?
Smallbatch markets this as a complete and balanced meal for all life stages, though many owners also use it as a topper to make kibble more appealing to picky eaters.
Does this need to be prepared before feeding?
As a freeze-dried raw food, it's designed to be rehydrated with water before serving as a full meal, which is standard for this style of raw feeding.
Is the beef in this recipe grass-fed?
Yes, the label specifies grass-fed, humanely raised beef with no added antibiotics or hormones, along with organic produce in the recipe.
