Ingredients Analysis
The first ingredient is turkey thigh. Turkey is considered “the clean combination of flesh and skin… derived from the parts or whole carcasses of turkey”.1
Turkey is naturally rich in the 10 essential amino acids required by a dog to sustain life.
The second ingredient is turkey heart. Although it doesn’t sound very appetizing, heart tissue is pure muscle — all meat. It’s naturally rich in quality protein, minerals and complex B vitamins, too.
The third ingredient is carrots. Carrots are rich in beta-carotene, minerals and dietary fiber.
The fourth ingredient is turkey liver. This is an organ meat sourced from a named animal and thus considered a beneficial component.
The fifth ingredient is zucchini, a type of squash, high in complex carbohydrates.
The sixth ingredient is blueberries. Blueberries are a good source of vitamins, minerals and dietary fiber.
The seventh ingredient is cranberries, a nutrient-rich fruit that’s also high in fiber.
The eighth ingredient is psyllium seed husk, it is mainly included in pet foods as a source of dietary fiber. The husk is a source of soluble fiber which when combined with water has gelatinous properties. As a source of fiber Psyllium seed husk can be used to support digestive health. It may also be used as a thickener for controlling the texture of pet food.
The ninth ingredient is cod liver oil, a fish oil known to be rich in both EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids as well as vitamins A and D.
From here the list goes on to include a number of other items. But to be realistic, ingredients located this far down the list (other than nutritional supplements) are not likely to affect the overall rating of the product.
This recipe has two notable exceptions.
First, flaxseed oil, one of the best non-fish sources of omega-3 fatty acids — essential to a dog’s health.
Also, olive oil. Olive oil contains oleic acid, a healthy monounsaturated fat. It’s also rich in natural antioxidants and carotenoids.

Our Rating of Raised Right Pancreatic Support Dog Food
This product range contains high-quality human-grade ingredients. A brand that is certainly worthy of consideration.
We would have been compelled to award this product a higher rating. However, the criteria we use to rate foods is designed for foods which support the everyday feeding of healthy dogs. Foods which are designed for a particular nutritional purpose or veterinary condition can contain ingredients or nutritional values which align with a lower rating, but are necessary and appropriate in formulas which tackle certain issues or concerns. Despite the reserved rating, this is a great example of a pancreatic support diet which we highly recommend.
