For an adult dog, we advise feeding between 2% to 3% of their body weight per day of healthy, raw food. For example an adult dog weighing 10kg may require 200g – 300g per day.
When calculating how much raw food for your dog, remember All dogs are individuals some need a little less and some need more. Consider their size, energy levels, how active they are and how stressed they may be. As your dog gets older you may wish to switch them to

Raw dog food consists of uncooked ingredients, including raw meat, bones, fruits, and vegetables. It aims to mimic a dog’s natural diet as closely as possible, emphasising whole, unprocessed foods.
Feeding your dog raw food can provide several benefits, including improved digestion, healthier skin and coat, increased energy levels, and better dental health. Many pet owners report that their dogs are more vibrant and active on a raw diet.
Yes, raw dog food is safe. It’s crucial to follow food safety practices of course, such as proper storage, hygiene during preparation, and sourcing high-quality ingredients.
Common ingredients include raw meat (muscle meat, organ meats), and bones. The specific ingredients can vary by brand and recipe. But it is simple food for simple digestion. Think McDonald’s vs. home-grown organic!
To transition your dog to a raw diet, start gradually by mixing a small amount of raw food with their current food. Gradually increase the raw portion over 7-10 days while monitoring your dog’s response. Every dog is different, so adjust the transition speed as needed.
Dogs thrive on a raw diet, but it’s essential to consult your veterinarian, especially if your dog has specific health issues or dietary needs. Puppies, pregnant dogs, and dogs with certain health conditions may require special consideration.
The amount of food depends on your dog’s size, age, activity level, and health. A general guideline is to feed 2-3% of your dog’s ideal body weight daily. Check out our Dog calculator we have for you.
Puppies require more frequent meals than adult dogs due to their rapid growth and high energy levels. Generally, you should feed your puppy:
Raw dog food should be stored in the freezer if not used immediately. Once thawed, it can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Always follow handling instructions on the packaging to ensure safety. If bought it should be thawed and ready to eat out of package.
It’s generally not recommended to refreeze raw dog food once it has been thawed. Refreezing can affect the texture and quality of the food, as well as increase the risk of bacterial growth. Here are some guidelines to consider:
If Thawed in the Refrigerator: If you’ve thawed the food in the refrigerator and it’s been kept at safe temperatures (below 40°F or 4°C), you can refreeze it within 1-2 days.
If Thawed at Room Temperature: If the food has been thawed at room temperature, it’s best to discard any leftovers rather than refreeze them to avoid food safety issues.
Best Practices: Always thaw only the amount of raw food you plan to use within a couple of days to minimize waste and ensure safety.
For optimal quality and safety, it’s best to plan ahead and thaw only what you need!
Potential risks include bacterial contamination (e.g., Salmonella, E. coli) and nutritional imbalances if not properly formulated. Always choose high-quality, reputable brands and consult your vet for guidance.
A balanced raw diet should provide all necessary nutrients. Consulting a veterinary nutritionist can help ensure a complete diet.
Yes, you can prepare raw dog food at home, but it requires careful planning to ensure it meets your dog’s nutritional needs. It’s advisable to consult with a veterinary nutritionist to create balanced recipes.
Mixing raw food with kibble is generally not recommended due to differences in digestion rates and potential digestive upset. It’s best to avoid kibble like the plague.
To date we have never seen it. But if your dog is hesitant to eat raw food, try mixing it with a small amount of their favourite food. Gradually increasing the raw portion can also help them adjust.
We have seen early signs of a healthy dog on a raw diet including a shiny coat, healthy skin, regular and firm stools, good energy levels, and a healthy weight. Regular veterinary check-ups can help monitor your dog’s health. You should see results within a month.
Raw dog food can be more expensive than commercial kibble, but many owners find the health benefits justify the cost. Prices can vary based on ingredients and sourcing. Today, there is little difference in cost if you calculate your vet bills, not to mention the reduced lifespan of your dog, without raw food.
The best raw food for your dog depends on their individual needs. Look for high-quality brands that offer actual raw meat with absolutely no fillers or added ingredients and balanced raw meat recipes provide a variety of protein sources needed for a healthy dog.
Raw diets often include bones, which can help clean teeth naturally. Additionally, consider providing dental chews or toys designed to promote oral health.
Dogs with food allergies will benefit from a raw diet, particularly if it eliminates allergens found in commercial dog foods. Consult your vet to identify and manage allergies effectively.
Always consult your veterinarian before making dietary changes if your dog has a medical condition. They can provide guidance on the best diet for your dog’s specific needs.
