Raised Right Dog Food Review

Plans & Pricing

As with most things, you get what you pay for in the world of dog food. While Raised Right is on the higher end of the dog food spectrum, the human-grade ingredients and protein-rich recipes are hard to beat when it comes to the best for your pet. 

Each one-pound bag of Raised Right food will run you $9.99, and customers typically buy the full box that includes 16 bags to get free shipping. How long that box will last is dependent on your pet’s feeding needs and preferences. 

You also have the option to try out Raised Right before fully committing by ordering a sample box that features four bags of food, plus a $9.99 shipping fee. You can select any custom combination of recipes you’d like in your sample box, just as long as it adds up to four bags.

How It Works 

While you can find Raised Right human-grade dog food in select retailers, ordering is fast and easy on raisedrightpets.com. 

Once you’ve indicated who you’re shopping for (they offer custom plans for cats, puppies and adult dogs), you’ll use their user-friendly food calculator to get a recommendation of how much food you’ll need to order based on your dog’s stats, feeding preferences (i.e., full meal or supplementing), and shipping frequency. 

We were particularly impressed that the calculator automatically showed a breakdown of the amount, daily cost and recommended shipping frequency between feeding pets exclusively Raised Right meals, 50 percent Raised Right meals or 25 percent Raised Right meals. This offers the flexibility for all owners to find out how they can incorporate these high-quality meals into their pet’s diet without breaking the bank if they can’t afford to feeding Raised Right exclusively. 

Most owners opt to order a full box of food, which comes with 16, one-pound bags of dog food plus free shipping (additional charges apply for shipping to Alaska and Hawaii). At the time we wrote this review, there were eight different meal varieties to choose from for adult dogs, so we’re confident your pooch will find a flavor (or flavors) they love. 

In addition to choosing the meals, you’ll also select your preferred shipping frequency based on how you plan on incorporating Raised Right’s meals into your dog’s diet (refer back to the food calculator for a reminder on the recommended frequency for feeding exclusively Raised Right foods versus feeding Raised Right as a topper at either 50 or 25 percent of your dog’s diet). You can easily pause, change or cancel your shipments anytime.

The Food 

The quality of food from Raised Right is far above and beyond what you’ll find from most dog food on the market. Every Raised Right recipe was carefully formulated to provide optimal nutrition for your pup’s needs by world renowned veterinarian, Dr. Karen Becker. They’ve meticulously sourced limited ingredient meals that are complete and balanced for each pet’s unique needs and stage of life. And they’ve done this while meeting AAFCO’s strict requirements through using only whole foods, meaning that the natural ingredients used provide all nutritional benefits without the use of any synthetic vitamins and minerals. 

They were even recognized for the impact the recipes have made in the lives of dogs and cats by receiving the 2019 Innovation Award for Nutrition from the Innovative Veterinary Care Journal. 

Just take a look at some of the most notable features found in every recipe of Raised Right: 

• High protein: Raised Right meals are specifically formulated by a top veterinarian and pet food formulation expert to maximize your pup’s peak performance with a single, primary source of animal protein and zero preservatives. 
• Low carb: You won’t find any high carb common fillers like potato, rice, oats, yam, squash, pasta, parsnips or barley in Raised Right foods. In fact, most of their whole food recipes include less than two percent of carbs to make more room for the ingredients your dog really needs, like protein, vegetables, fruits and essential minerals. 
• Human-grade: Every ingredient used in Raised Right recipes has passed the same standards necessary for human consumption and is lightly cooked in a human-grade facility to ensure food safety according to USDA standards while maintaining the highest nutritional quality. 
• Lab-tested: Ensuring the best for your beloved pet doesn’t stop at nutrition. Raised Right takes safety very seriously, ensuring that every batch is rigorously lab-tested for pathogens like e-coli, listeria and salmonella so that nothing leaves the facility without being fully vetted first.

Feeding clean, wholesome meals like these to your pup may even help prevent illness or allergies and save you time, money and heartache in the future…which, when it comes to your beloved pooch, can be simply priceless.
