Additional Information

Precautions

• Transition Gradually: Introduce Rawbble Duck Recipe over 10 days to avoid digestive upset; abrupt diet changes may cause temporary loose stools or stomach sensitivity.
• Consult Your Vet: Individual nutritional requirements vary by age, breed, weight, and activity level; consult your veterinarian if unsure about appropriate daily portions for your dog.
• Monitor for Sensitivities: Although duck is a novel protein, dogs with previously unknown protein sensitivities should still be monitored carefully during the initial introduction period.
• Avoid Overfeeding: When using as a topper or treat, reduce other food portions accordingly to maintain a balanced and appropriate daily caloric intake.
• Store Properly: Keep in a cool, dry place and seal the bag tightly between feedings to preserve freshness and nutritional integrity.

Possible Side Effects

• Digestive Adjustment: Some dogs may experience loose stools or mild digestive changes during the initial transition period; this typically resolves within a few days of consistent feeding.
• Novel Protein Reaction: While duck is considered a novel protein, dogs with undiagnosed food sensitivities should be observed for signs of intolerance such as itching, vomiting, or loose stools.
• Overfeeding Signs: Excess consumption may lead to weight gain or gastrointestinal upset; always follow the recommended feeding guidelines and account for treats or toppers in total daily intake.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What percentage of meat does the Bixbi Rawbble Freeze-Dried Duck Recipe contain?

Ans: The Bixbi Rawbble Freeze-Dried Duck Recipe is made with 98% cage-free duck, bone, and organs. This high whole-animal content delivers a concentrated, highly digestible source of novel-protein nutrition with no room for junk ingredients.

Q2: What is the protein digestibility of the Rawbble Freeze-Dried Duck Recipe?

Ans: The Rawbble Freeze-Dried Duck Recipe has been independently certified at 98% protein digestibility, the highest across the entire Rawbble Freeze-Dried line. This means nearly all of the protein consumed is absorbed and utilized effectively by your dog.

Q3: Why is duck considered a novel protein and why does it matter for dogs?

Ans: Duck is considered a novel protein because it is less commonly used in commercial dog foods than chicken or beef. Dogs with food sensitivities or allergies to more common proteins may respond well to a novel protein like duck, as their immune system is less likely to have been previously sensitized to it.

Q4: Is the Bixbi Rawbble Freeze-Dried Duck Recipe suitable for all life stages?

Ans: Yes. The Rawbble Freeze-Dried Duck Recipe is formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for all life stages, including the growth of large breed dogs weighing 70 lbs or more as adults.

Q5: Can the Rawbble Freeze-Dried Duck Recipe be used as a meal topper or treat?

Ans: Yes. The recipe can be served three ways: as a complete and balanced standalone food, as a nutrient-boosting topper over existing kibble, or as a high-reward training treat. Feeding amounts differ by use, so portions should be adjusted accordingly to avoid overfeeding.

Q6: How should I transition my dog to the Bixbi Rawbble Freeze-Dried Duck Recipe?

Ans: The manufacturer recommends a gradual 10-day transition: 25% Rawbble for days 1 to 3, 50% for days 4 to 6, 75% for days 7 to 9, and 100% from day 10 onward. This approach minimizes the risk of digestive upset when switching from a previous diet.

Q7: Does the Rawbble Freeze-Dried Duck Recipe contain any grains, fillers, or artificial preservatives?

Ans: No. The recipe is grain-free and free from meat meals, added fillers, artificial preservatives, artificial colors, and added flavorings. Mixed tocopherols and rosemary extract are used as natural preservatives to maintain freshness.

Q8: How many calories does the Bixbi Rawbble Freeze-Dried Duck Recipe contain per cup?

Ans: The recipe contains 219 kcal per cup and 4,722 kcal per kilogram, making it the most calorie-dense recipe in the Rawbble Freeze-Dried lineup. These figures should be factored into your dog's total daily intake, especially when used as a topper or treat.

Q9: What sizes does the Bixbi Rawbble Freeze-Dried Duck Recipe come in?

Ans: The recipe is available in three sizes: 4.5 oz (approximately 3 cups), 12 oz (approximately 7.5 cups), and 26 oz (approximately 16 cups). A 4.5 oz sample size is also available for dogs trying this recipe for the first time.

Q10: Why does the Rawbble Freeze-Dried Duck Recipe include salmon oil if it is a duck-only recipe?

Ans: Salmon oil is added as a supplemental source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are not present in adequate levels in duck alone. It supports healthy skin and coat, joint health, and immune function, helping to round out the nutritional completeness of this single-protein duck recipe.
