Feed Wise considers this a very strong option in its category for Big Country Raw, Raw Goat Milk Dog Nog, 975 mL, a frozen raw formula with a short, limited ingredient panel led by fresh named meat. No nutritional adequacy statement is on record, so it is best used as part of a balanced feeding plan or rotation rather than as the sole diet. Supporting the rating, it is manufactured in Canada and the label declares 4% crude protein.

This is the largest single category in FeedWise. It looks at which animal ingredients are present, whether the species is named, whether organs, egg and named fats are included, and whether concentrated plant proteins are diluting the animal content.
Named animal protein first
Raw whole goat milk is an animal ingredient in position 1 but the species is not clearly identified.
Animal Prominence Index
Animal Prominence Index 23 of 100. This is a FeedWise position-weighted measure of how far animal ingredients dominate the ingredient panel. It is a label-position index, not a manufacturer-disclosed recipe percentage.
Liver
No liver in the ingredient panel.
Heart
No heart in the ingredient panel.
Other appropriate organs
No additional organ meats identified.
Whole egg
No meaningful egg inclusion.
Named animal or marine fats
No named animal or marine fat identified.
Verified animal ingredient proportion
The manufacturer has not published an animal ingredient percentage. Excluded from the score rather than counted against the product.
Plant protein dilution
No concentrated plant proteins detected.
Every ingredient is classified into a quality tier and weighted by its position on the label, so ingredient number one counts far more than ingredient number fifteen.
Position weighted ingredient quality
5 food ingredients assessed by quality tier with early positions weighted most heavily. 1 fortifying nutrient or preservative excluded from the average.
Carbohydrate is not calculable because ash is not disclosed. It is left blank rather than overstated.
Carbohydrate burden
Carbohydrate is not precisely calculable because ash has not been disclosed. This is an evidence limitation, not evidence of high carbohydrate, so it is removed from the score and reported as reduced confidence.
Ingredient based plant load
Plant load assessed as VERY LOW. No grains, pulses, starches or concentrated plant proteins in the ingredient panel.
Processing method: Raw. This category measures food integrity only. Raw handling safety is assessed separately under Safety and Quality Control, so a raw food can score well here and still lose safety points.

Only certifications we can confirm from the brand's own documentation or the certifying body appear here. Nothing is assumed — if a program isn't listed, it isn't disclosed for this product.
