Balanced blends raw pet dog food review
Balanced blends recently sent my pet dog Ace and two cats some of its frozen raw dinners to try. I charged a fee in exchange for my sincere review.
What is Balanced Blends?
Balanced blends is a new raw pet dog food company that delivers frozen, pre-made dinners to your door.
Dinners are available for dogs and cats in beef or chicken varieties, and the company said it’s planning other varieties such as rabbit and turkey. Food is delivered to the customer’s door, and you can sign up for regular deliveries.
The food is made with raw meat, bones, organs, fruits and veggies, vitamins and minerals. The recipes are formulated to meet the AAFCO’s nutrient profile, according to balanced Blends. (The cat food does not consist of produce.)
Alsó vonal:
This is a premium food I would love to feed my family pets on a regular basis if not for my senior dog’s current health issues that stop us from feeding raw at the moment.
I am an advocate of raw pet dog food diets and even wrote a raw feeding guide, but my family pets are currently eating dry food. They got to try balanced blends as a treat.

What’s special about balanced Blends?
1. It delivers. Balanced blends also uses an easy-to-edit subscription program.
2. Transparency. balanced blends stresses that potential customers must ask any questions about the food, operations, etc.
3. Food safety. balanced blends said it uses high-pressure processing in its final packaging to eliminate re-contamination. It also uses a “test and hold” protocol where the food is lab checked by a third party and released to buy only after pathogen test results come back negative.
4. High percentage of meat. The raw pet dog food diets are 90 percent meat, organs and bone. The raw cat food diets are 99.5 percent meat, organs and bone.
Pros of balanced blends raw pet dog and cat food:
The price per pound is very easy to calculate based on how the web site is organized. (Not always the case with other companies!)
The company sets high standards for food safety.
Made with organic fruits and veggies (for dogs) and no fruits and veggies for cats (they don’t need’m!).
Subscription program available & can cancel, edit or pause anytime!
Full list of ingredients provided on the label and the website.
Cons:
Meat is not organic at the time of this writing (however, this helps keep the price down).
Some family pets can’t have chicken OR beef, and those are the only two options available (so far).
Cost is high but not as high as some of the other raw pet dog food companies. (Plus complimentary shipping on 20 pounds or more.)
Packaging is not easy to open & not resealable. I just put leftovers in large Ziploc bags.
Would I buy Balanced Blends?
No, the cost is too much for me at this time.
Would I recommend balanced blends to others?
Igen! It’s a premium food I would feel comfortable feeding my family pets if not for my senior dog’s health issues. I recommend it to raw feeders or those interested in getting started with a raw diet.
