Raw Dog Food Lamb Edmonton
Sep 30, 2024
Lamb is a novel raw protein popular with Edmonton dog owners managing food sensitivities or rotating proteins. Here is what to know about lamb in a raw diet.
Lamb is a protein that comes up regularly in conversations about raw feeding, particularly for dog owners looking to expand their dog's rotation or manage food sensitivities.
Lamb is a moderately fatty protein, sitting between leaner options like chicken and turkey and richer options like bison. It is considered a novel protein for many dogs, meaning they have not been previously exposed to it through commercial pet food, which makes it a useful option for owners working through an elimination diet under veterinary guidance. See our post on raw dog food for dogs with allergies for more on using novel proteins.
Like all proteins in a complete raw blend, lamb-based raw food includes muscle meat, organ meat, and ground bone in balanced proportions.
Lamb pairs well with chicken, turkey, and beef in a rotation. Many raw feeders include it as one of two or three proteins they cycle through over the course of a week or month. Our guide on how to rotate proteins in raw dog food covers exactly how to structure a rotation schedule.
Lamb is not always consistently available in pre-made frozen raw formats in Edmonton. Hound and Bone updates its product range as products become available from trusted suppliers. Check the current shop for availability, or contact us at info@houndandbone.ca to ask about upcoming stock.
If lamb is not currently listed, the bundle builder lets you mix and match from whatever proteins are available, which is a practical way to introduce variety while you wait for a specific protein to come back in stock.
