Raised Right Pancreatic Support Dog Food Review (Fresh)

Raised Right Pancreatic Support product range is made up of two recipes. These recipes are unrated because we prefer not to give a star rating to foods with specific therapeutic aims, such as kidney or pancreatic support. This includes prescription dog foods.

We review all foods in the same way, which means the design of a specialty food may lead to an undeserved lower rating.

This product from Raised Right was created by Dr. Karen Becker and Dr. Barbara Royal — two renowned veterinary nutritionists — for a dog food brand that scores five stars for every single recipe of its fresh food, which we hope gives you an idea of its quality.

The table below shows each recipe in this range and the AAFCO nutrient profile: Growth (puppy), Maintenance (adult), All Life Stages, Supplemental or Unspecified.

Ingredients Analysis

Raised Right Pancreatic Support Turkey Recipe has been chosen as a representative of the range.

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.
