This isn't just a "budget" option; it's a standard. It contains the biological basics that dogs actually need — no mystery fillers, no preservatives, just real Australian chicken and rich beef offal. It's a clean, quality mix designed for those who treat their dogs like family and want a bowl that reflects that. A popular base for DIY feeders.

Ronan's take: "Steady and dependable. This is the mix for the dog who has a job to do — whether that's a morning run or just keeping an eye on the household. It's purposeful nutrition that doesn't need to shout to get the job done."

Nugget's take: "Listen, I don't care about 'balance' — I care about how fast I can get this in my face. It's high-energy, it's fresh, and it's the reason I'm currently doing a lap of the kitchen."

Bella’s 5star review

Hi. I’m Bella. I’m a 3 year old German shepherd …. My fur mum and dad thought I’d like these meals. Turns out, I love them, especially the chicken essentials grain free. My coat is shinier and I don’t itch as much anymore……..
I’m going to try all the flavours now. It’s delivered to my door every week nice and fresh…🐾🐾

Another great meal mix

Has everything we need in it. Perfect

Our senior Kelpies just love this raw food

Chicken essential raw food is essential for my senior dogs

Thank you for your wonderful 5-star review, Joanne C! We're absolutely delighted to hear that our Fresh Chicken Essentials Mix has become such an important part of your senior Kelpies' diet.

It's especially heartwarming to know that our raw food is bringing joy to your senior dogs - keeping our more experienced furry friends healthy and happy is so important to us.

Thank you for being a valued part of our raw feeding community and for sharing your positive experience with other pet parents.

Not for my fussy eater

I ordered all the available meat options from their website to figure out which one my fussy eater would enjoy. I had high hopes that he’d like the chicken, but to my surprise, he refused to eat it. That said, I can’t fault the meat—it’s so fresh and high-quality that all the other dogs and puppies in my care absolutely love it. On their behalf, thank you for the delicious meals! (As for my picky eater, his favorites are kangaroo and duck.)

Hi Seema,

We're genuinely thankful for your detailed feedback! While we're sorry to hear that our chicken option didn't win over your fussy friend, we're delighted that you've found success with our kangaroo and duck varieties. Every pup has their own unique preferences, and that's exactly why we offer such a diverse range of proteins!

Thank you for giving our different protein options a try and for sharing your experience with us. We're thrilled that you've found the perfect proteins to keep your particular pup's tail wagging at mealtime!

Cheers,
CDK9 Raw

Arlo food journey

Arlo is currently on an elimination diet due to intolerances and I needed to find good quality single protein meat for him.
We have now made 2 purchases of the duck meal which he is tolerating very well . We have the chicken and kangaroo which we will introduce slowly over a period of time 😊

Thank you for your fantastic 5-star review, Janet! We're delighted to hear Arlo is tolerating our duck recipe so well during his elimination diet. It's wonderful to know our high-quality, single-protein meals are providing the nourishment he needs while managing his intolerances. We appreciate you taking the time to introduce our other proteins slowly and look forward to hearing how Arlo does with the chicken and kangaroo recipes. Thank you for being a valued member of the CDK9 Raw family as you navigate Arlo's food journey. Here's to continued good health for your furry friend!
