The fat percentage on the frozen raw I feed 6.17%. Looks like the Ziwi freeze dried is 27% and very high, they have a canned formula which is 7%.

I will give you an example, however, I do not know which Bravo product you are feeding. The closest I could come to 6.17% fat was this:
Bravo! Original Formula
Based on the guaranteed analysis, the dry matter comparison would be:
Frozen Chubs & Burgers Crude Protein (min%)
13.53%
Crude Fiber (max%)
0.5%
Crude Fat (min%)
6.39%
Moisture (max%)
75.58%
To determine the amount of protein on a dry matter basis, divide the reported amount of protein (in this case, 13.53%) by the total amount of dry matter (24.42%).
Then, multiply the result by 100.
Dry Matter Protein Content = (13.53/24.42) x 100 = 55.40%
Dry Matter Crude Fat Content = (6.39/24.42) x 100 = 26.16%
The higher the fat content, the lower the protein content and vice versa.
As is evident above, the Bravo product is comparable to the dehydrated Ziwi Peak product in terms of fat%. That is how it is with raw feeding.
