Raised Right is a specialist pick for owners who want simple, low-carb recipes and proof of safety testing. The family-owned company works with veterinarian Dr. Karen Becker and formulator Steve Brown, and it says most of its recipes have less than 2% carbs because they skip fillers such as potato, rice, oats and barley. Many recipes use a single animal protein and 10 ingredients or fewer, and many are formulated to meet AAFCO requirements using only whole foods without synthetic vitamins and minerals. Every batch is lab tested for pathogens and held until it passes, and the results are published on the site. Food is gently cooked in a human-grade facility. Delivery is free to the 48 contiguous states, and subscriptions can be paused or canceled from your account. We could not confirm a current US price on its public pages, so its value score is conservative.
