Raw pet food is a type of diet for dogs that involves feeding them uncooked meat, bones, organs, and vegetables. The aim is to provide dogs with a diet closer to what the would eat in the wild.

Raw pet food can be safe if handled and prepared properly. However, there are risks of bacterial contamination, such as salmonella and E. coli, both for the pet and the owner. It's important to take precautions, such as washing hands thoroughly after handling raw meat and keeping raw food separate from human food. We recommend that you discuss raw feeding with your veterinarian before starting.

Raw pet food is believed to be more natural and healthier for pets because it is closer to the diet that they evolved to eat in the wild. They also claim that it can improve your pet's coat, skin, teeth, and digestion.

Yes, puppies can eat raw dog food, but it's important to ensure that they are getting all the necessary nutrients.

The amount of raw dog food that you should feed your dog depends on various factors, such as the dog's age, size, activity level, and overall health. We have implemented a questionnaire to help you select the best option for your pets. You can also consult with a veterinarian or a qualified canine nutritionist to determine the appropriate portion sizes for your pet.

Switching your pet to a raw diet should be done gradually, over a period of several days or weeks. Start by replacing a small portion of their regular food with raw food and gradually increase the amount over time. It's important to monitor your dog's response and adjust the portion sizes as needed. We recommend working with a veterinarian or canine nutritionist to ensure a smooth transition.

Raw dog food should be stored in the freezer until ready to use. It's important to thaw the food in the refrigerator, rather than at room temperature, to prevent bacterial growth. It's also important to handle raw dog food carefully to avoid cross-contamination.

It's not recommended to mix kibble with raw dog food because they digest at different rates and can cause digestive upset. It's best to feed them separately or stick to one type of food. If you are considering feeding a mixed diet, we recommend consulting with your veterinarian first.
