Raw Dog Food FAQs

What are the benefits of raw dog food?

Raw dog foods offer many benefits, including better digestion, healthier skin & coat, better weight management, and much more. Read our full Raw Dog Food for Beginners Guide to learn more about making the switch to raw dog food.

How do I switch my dog to raw food?

Going cold turkey is the best way to transition to a raw diet from a commercial dry or canned food. Fasting your dog for 12 hours allows your dog to pass any cooked food. Some dogs may experience mild digestive issues, so digestive aids like probiotics or some canned pumpkins can help during the transition. If you have any problems or concerns, you should consult your veterinarian.

Is raw dog food safe?

Dogs are more than equipped to handle bacteria in raw meat and benefit from superior nutrition. Keep yourself safe by handling raw meat safely and washing your hands and surfaces after preparing the raw diet.

How much raw food should I feed my dog?

It depends on your dog's weight, activity level, and age. Typically you should feed 2-3% of your dog's ideal body weight per day.

Can I mix raw food with kibble?

Mixing raw food with kibble in the same meal is not recommended because they have different digestion rates. Kibble requires more time to digest than raw food, which can cause digestive upset in some dogs. If you want to feed both, offering them as separate meals is best.

What should I include in my dog's raw diet?

A balanced raw diet should consist of muscle meat, organ meats (such as liver and kidneys), and raw meaty bones. Vegetables and fruits can also be included to provide additional vitamins and fibre. Always ensure that your dog's raw diet is nutritionally balanced and meets their individual needs. You may want to consult a veterinary nutritionist to help create a well-balanced raw diet for your dog.
