It is the general consensus that dogs need 80% of their meals to come from red meat sources. This would be any ruminant animals (venison, cattle, bison, elk, moose, etc) but also includes duck, pork, kangaroo, and rabbit. The remaining balance of the meals can be made up of fish, fowl, etc. For further raw feeding tips click here

It is advisable to begin with 2-3% of your dog’s ideal healthy weight. So if your dog weighs 50 lbs when in optimal body condition, you would feed 1-1.5lbs per day. You can split that ration into however many meals you wish to feed throughout the day, but that is the total amount you will feed each day. ( Your dogs optimal weight x 0.02 or 0.03 = the weight of raw food you should feed) For further tips on feeding raw and to view our feed guide for adults and puppies click here

Store the food in the fridge overnight and cut it into rations the next morning. This way it will be still frozen enough to hold its shape and far less messy to handle.

It is important to keep the raw food frozen until thawing shortly before feeding. Raw food is good in the fridge for up to 3 days once thawed.
