RawMix25 Beef Organs Review — Animals Like Us

Intro

I'm The Pet Dude — a pet parent and gear nerd who tests food, treats, and training gear in real homes. The Animals Like Us RawMix25 Beef Organs is a hybrid dog food that blends 25% freeze-dried raw beef organ pieces with a high-protein kibble that the brand says is coated with probiotics. In this long-form review I’ll cover what the product actually is, how it performs day to day, the materials and build (packaging and formulation) quality, safety considerations (important when raw and organ meats are involved), who should consider it and who should skip it, and my final verdict with a clear check-before-you-buy checklist.

What it is / first look

On first look, RawMix25 Beef Organs is a 2 lb (32-ounce) bag of freeze-dried raw + kibble dog food from Animals Like Us. The listing spells out the mix: 25% freeze-dried raw beef (specifically calling out beef, beef liver, beef heart, and beef tripe) plus the remaining portion as high-protein meat- and vegetable-based kibble. The product is billed as grain-free and non-GMO, with probiotic-coated kibble for digestive support and benefits listed for immune, gut, and coat health.

The bag I examined (the listing and owner notes) is a smaller, resealable pack — a format a lot of people reach for when trying freeze-dried or mix products for the first time. The packaging size and format are an important part of the product experience: the specification lists Dimensions and Package Dimensions as 9.76 x 7.99 x 3.9 inches and the unit count is 32 ounces. The brand lists this recipe as suitable for "All Life Stages" and for "All Breed Sizes."

Visually, the mix is exactly what the name promises: visible chunks of freeze-dried organ meat alongside bite-sized kibble. Owners and my own look-through show chunky, irregular freeze-dried pieces mixed into the kibble — not just dust or crumbs — which makes the bowl look and smell more enticing to many dogs.

In daily use

I use a few different lenses when testing a food like this: straight feed (can it be the whole meal?), topper/training use, pocket-snack behavior, and how it handles in the kitchen (storage, mess, odor).

As a full meal

The listing states RawMix25 is a high-protein formula that contains 25% freeze-dried raw beef organs mixed with high-protein kibble and that it is intended for "All Life Stages." The item form is freeze-dried, and the brand positions the mix as raw made easy — meaning this blend is offered as a way to introduce raw organ nutrition without handling fresh raw meat. The listing includes the question "Can I feed Animals Like Us as a complete meal?" but the listing copy does not spell out feeding guidelines in the product facts. That means owners need to consult the label on-pack for portion guidance or check with their qualified professional before converting a dog to any new complete-diet routine.

As a topper or training reward

Where this product shines in daily use is versatility. In my hands-on observations and reinforced by owner notes, RawMix25 works well as a kibble topper — the freeze-dried chunks rehydrate if you add water, creating a gravy-like addition — and as a pocket-friendly high-value training reward. Multiple people used it this way: tossing a few freeze-dried bits from the bowl for training or saving the chunks as high-value treats during walks. Because the pieces are visible and chunky, they have good tactile appeal in a treat pouch and won’t crumble into dust as quickly as powdery options.

Digestion and transitions

The brand highlights probiotic-coated kibble for digestive support and lists specific uses like digestive health and immune support. In practice, a few dogs showed an adjustment effect when switching to this freeze-dried mix; owner notes mention an increase in flatulence for some dogs during the transition period. Others reported no digestive upset and said stools remained normal. Because the product contains freeze-dried organ meats and a probiotic coating on kibble, I recommend introducing it gradually over several days and watching for digestive changes — the listing supports probiotic inclusion but doesn't provide a transition schedule, so follow standard slow-switch practices or ask a professional.

Packaging and kitchen handling

The 2 lb bag is marked as resealable in owner notes, which helps keep pieces from getting stale between uses. The smell is described by owners as beefy but not overpowering; one owner noted a salmon-like smell in one listing of ingredients, but the Beef Organs recipe itself presents a noticeable meat/organ scent that most dogs loved. The bag size is small for large multi-dog homes — a common practical downside if you plan to use this as a primary food for a large dog or household. Owners mentioned wishing the brand offered larger sizes for bigger dogs.

Materials & build quality

For a food product, "materials" refers to ingredient choices and processing. RawMix25 lists freeze-dried raw beef organs (beef, beef liver, beef heart, beef tripe) combined with high-protein meat-and-vegetable kibble, and the kibble pieces are described as being coated with probiotics. The listing calls the formula grain-free and non-GMO and says the product is free from corn, wheat, soy, glycerin, growth hormones, artificial flavors, and preservatives. The brand emphasizes that the freeze-drying process locks in nutrition and taste.

Packaging-wise, the bag size is 2 lb and the listing and owner notes indicate it’s a resealable bag, which is the expected standard for a freeze-dried product to help preserve texture and reduce moisture exposure.

Manufacturing claims in the listing include "proudly made in the USA with premium globally sourced ingredients" and that "every batch is tested for safety and quality." Those are the brand-level quality claims available in the product material.

Safety considerations

When you mix raw (even freeze-dried raw) organ meats with kibble, safety questions always deserve the top spot. Here are the core safety facts and practical flags from the listing and owner reports.

• Raw percentage and form: The product is 25% freeze-dried raw beef organs (listing explicitly names beef, beef liver, beef heart, and beef tripe). The remaining portion is high-protein kibble. Freeze-drying is a processing method that preserves nutrients and reduces moisture, but it is not the same as cooked kibble. The listing calls out that the freeze-drying process locks in nutrition and taste.
• Probiotics: The kibble portion is described as probiotic-coated for digestive support in the product facts. That matches the brand claims about digestive health in the product benefits and specific uses.
• All life stages & breed sizes: The product is listed for "All Life Stages" and "All Breed Sizes," which suggests the formulation is intended to meet broad nutritional needs. The listing asks the canned question "Are these recipes safe for all breeds and ages?" but does not provide on-list feeding tables; still, the product facts include the all-life-stages note.
• Ingredient exclusions: The bullets state the recipe is free from corn, wheat, soy, glycerin, growth hormones, GMOs, artificial flavors, and preservatives. That narrows some common allergen and additive concerns for shoppers.
• Batch testing & origin: The listing states the product is made in the USA with premium globally sourced ingredients and that every batch is tested for safety and quality. Those are company claims included in the product description.
• Reported digestive reactions: Owners reported increased flatulence for some dogs during transition. Others reported no stomach issues and steady stools. That aligns with the standard expectation that a diet change or the inclusion of organ meats can alter digestion during an adjustment period.
• Choking hazard / size: The product pieces are described as chunky freeze-dried pieces and small kibble bites. Owners used the pieces successfully as training treats and pocket snacks. The listing doesn’t give exact kibble or chunk dimensions; if your dog gulps large pieces whole, supervise feeding or break pieces up.

Bottom line on safety: the listing provides several positive safety-oriented claims (probiotics, batch testing, ingredient exclusions), but the product still has raw-derived components. The owner-reported increase in flatulence during transition is the primary real-world signal; there are no listed recalls or safety alerts in the data provided.

Who this is for / who should skip

Animals Like Us RawMix25 Beef Organs is a hybrid product that sits between a freeze-dried raw top-up and a high-protein kibble. That makes it a fit for specific use cases and less suitable for others.

Who this fits

• Picky eaters and training-focused homes: The visible freeze-dried chunks and organ-forward flavor profile make this a high-value topper or training treat. Owner feedback repeatedly calls it a top-tier motivator and training snack.
• Owners wanting to add organ nutrition without handling raw meat: If you like organ-dense nutrition but don’t want to source and handle raw organs, this freeze-dried option delivers real organ pieces in measured form.
• Homes that want grain-free, non-GMO options: The product is marketed as grain-free and non-GMO and is free from corn, wheat, soy, glycerin, growth hormones, artificial flavors, and preservatives.
• All life stages & breeds (per listing): The listing marks the product for "All Life Stages" and "All Breed Sizes," so it’s positioned as broadly appropriate — but always follow portioning guidance from the bag and a professional.

Who should skip or be cautious

• Houses with dogs that have sensitive digestion: A small number of dogs showed increased flatulence during the adjustment period. If your dog has a history of GI sensitivity, transition slowly and consult a qualified professional as needed.
• Owners seeking large, economy bags for primary feeding: The product is offered as a 2 lb bag in the listing; multiple owners explicitly wished for larger sizes. If you feed a large breed or multiple dogs primarily from this bag, the packaging size may be impractical or costly.
• People who need precise feeding tables on the product page: The listing doesn't include on-page detailed feeding guidelines; check the physical bag and consult a professional for exact portions if you're planning a full conversion.

Verdict

RawMix25 Beef Organs from Animals Like Us is a purposeful hybrid: 25% freeze-dried beef organ chunks and 75% high-protein kibble with a probiotic coating. For me, that combination meets a valuable niche — owners who want organ-rich, minimally processed nutrition without handling fresh raw meat, and households that want a high-value topper or training treat that dogs really respond to.

Pros I keep coming back to: visible whole-food freeze-dried organ chunks, a resealable 2 lb bag for small-batch use, probiotic-coated kibble for digestive support listed in the facts, and a grain-free, non-GMO ingredient positioning. The product is also marketed for all life stages and all breed sizes, which broadens its applicability.

Cons and real-world cautions: the bag is small for larger dogs, the mix can cause temporary flatulence during a transition for some dogs, and the listing does not provide on-page feeding tables so you’ll want to consult the bag or a professional for conversion guidance if you plan to use this as a complete diet. Owners wished for larger size options for primary feeding.

Check before you buy (my quick checklist)

• Confirm 2 lb / 32 oz bag size is what you want; larger sizes are not listed for this SKU.
• Check your dog’s sensitivity to organ-rich diets — introduce the food slowly and watch for increased flatulence or GI upset.
• Plan how you’ll use it: topper/training snack pocket? full-time food? The product is marketed for all life stages but the listing doesn’t include on-page feeding tables.
• Keep the resealable bag in a cool, dry place and use within a reasonable time after opening to maintain freshness.
• If your dog gulps large pieces whole, break up chunks or supervise feeding — the listing indicates chunky freeze-dried pieces but does not specify exact sizes.
• consult a qualified professional before switching a pet with specific health conditions or before using this as the primary diet for growing puppies, pregnant dogs, or dogs with medical concerns.

Colors / Flavors available

The listing shows multiple flavor/recipe options in the available sizes list. Available flavors include:

• Beef Organs
• Chicken Organs
• Ocean Fish & Salmon

In this review I focused on the Beef Organs 2 lb bag, which is the SKU described in the product facts and owner notes.

Final thoughts

If you’re experimenting with organ-forward nutrition and want a convenient, freeze-dried option that mixes with kibble and doubles as a high-value training snack, Animals Like Us RawMix25 Beef Organs does exactly what it promises in the listing: visible chunks of freeze-dried organ meats, probiotic-coated kibble, and a grain-free/non-GMO formulation. It’s not a bulk primary-diet solution for large multi-dog homes unless you don’t mind buying multiple small bags, but it’s an excellent way to add organ nutrition and variety to bowls without full raw-handling logistics. Keep an eye on digestion during the transition and consult a professional if your dog has a sensitive stomach or special dietary needs.
