I and Love and You's Stir and Boom Beef is a grain-free, freeze-dried raw dog food built around beef and organ meat, and its 4.0 star average across 82 reviews suggests it works well for most dogs even though it hasn't racked up a huge review count yet.
Adult dogs of any life stage who do well on a raw, grain-free diet and owners who want a highly digestible formula with organ meat and no fillers.
Skip if
Your dog has an egg allergy, since this formula lists eggs as an allergen, or you're looking for a budget option since raw freeze-dried food costs more per pound than kibble.
The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other dog food and health supplements we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
['This 3 lb bag of Stir and Boom from I and Love and You is a dehydrated raw dog food built around beef hearts and other organ meat, formulated for all life stages and sized for medium breed dogs. It comes in chunk form and is labeled grain-free and non-GMO, with real fruits and vegetables mixed in alongside the meat.', "The brand markets this as highly digestible, and the recipe leans on organ meat and whole ingredients rather than fillers, which lines up with the high protein claim on the label. It's also labeled for digestive health, so it's aimed at owners looking for an easy-to-digest raw option rather than a standard kibble.", "At $46.51 for a 3 lb bag, it's priced like a premium raw food rather than a bargain kibble. With only 82 reviews and a 4.0 star average, it doesn't have the review volume of the bigger brands yet, though about 100 bags sold in the past month suggests steady, if modest, demand."]
Pros
Grain-free, non-GMO recipe built around beef hearts and organ meat
Labeled for all life stages, so it works across puppy through senior
Dehydrated raw format retains more nutrients than heavily processed kibble
Includes real fruits and vegetables alongside the meat
Cons
Contains eggs, which rules it out for dogs with an egg allergy
Only 82 reviews, a smaller sample than more established competitors
Priced higher per pound than standard kibble, typical of raw formulas
The chunk form and dehydrated raw preparation are designed to preserve more of the beef hearts and organ meat's natural nutrients than a heavily cooked kibble, and the grain-free, filler-free recipe is built to be easier on digestion. Because it's a freeze-dried raw format, expect it to need some prep before serving like most raw diets in this category.
What buyers say
With just 82 reviews and a 4.0 star average, plus around 100 units bought in the last month, this is a smaller-volume product without the large following of bigger raw food brands, but the ratings so far are solidly positive.
