Broth / gravy · complementaryHigh meat
Our verdict
Is Raw Essentials Chicken & Duck Broth a good dog food?
This is a broth/gravy, not a complete diet, so it is not scored on our 1-100 scale. The ingredient breakdown below shows what is in it; a broth/gravy should be fed alongside, not instead of, a complete diet.
100% of this recipe has no printed percentage. Estimated shares are model estimates, not label facts.
What the label tells us
- The parsed label contains 4 ingredient entries.
- Names its animal sources (1 named ingredient).
- Uses generic terms (Chicken): the specific animal source is not stated.
- Lists no artificial colours or preservatives.
- Prints no ingredient quantities.
Why is this treat not scored?
Our 1 to 100 rating applies to complete everyday meals. Treats are presented through their ingredients, label facts and feeding information rather than a number that could be mistaken for a meal rating.
What should I look for on a treat label?
Look for the ingredient list, named animal sources where species matters to you, any printed quantities, additive declarations, energy and the feeding guide. Single-ingredient products can be simpler, but are not automatically better for every dog or purpose.
These facts come from the manufacturer's published ingredient list.
Who is this food for?
Suits
- Labelled by the manufacturer for all lifestages
- Grain-free: no grain ingredients listed
- Doesn't list beef, turkey, lamb, fish, venison, pork as ingredients
Consider something else if:
- Your dog avoids chicken: the label lists chicken
- Your dog avoids duck: the label lists duck bones
- You want a single-protein recipe: this one lists more than one animal protein
These points are derived from declared ingredients and analysis, not a substitute for veterinary advice. If your dog has a diagnosed condition, food choice is a medical nutrition decision: speak to your vet. Find foods that fit your dog.
