Sunday Pets Raw Chow Dog Food Review

David D'Angelo 3202 3

Sunday Pets are a New Zealand company who defy the norm by producing foods which are slow baked instead of incinerated in a kibble extruder. Their Raw Chow range goes one step further as a freeze dried food, which means almost all the nutrition stays intact. I’m an advocated for freeze dried foods so it’s great to see a few of these foods emerging (also check out Frontier Pets, Balanced Life, and K9 Natural).

This food is 89% minimum lamb and lamb off-cuts. That’s great to see, especially considering a dog’s native diet would mostly consist of meat. This is inclusive of bone, blood, liver, kidney, and heart, which provide a range of essential nutrients necessary in a raw diet.

Next we have a range of decent vegetables and fruits. That’s not all, as we have a few really nice inclusions – the excellent green lipped mussel for joint health, manuka honey which has anti-bacterial properties, and kelp which has a number of health benefits including arthritis and tooth decay prevention and a boost to the glandular system.

As a compositional whole my only concern is the food is very high in fat. Dog’s digest animal fats far more efficiently than we do, so it’s not that bad a thing unless your dog suffers a condition like pancreatitis. I feel Balanced Life and Frontier Pets have a slightly better composition, but this is still a very good food.

Where to buy?

Singapore retailers.
