What is a raw food diet for dogs?

A raw food diet for pets consists of uncooked, unprocessed ingredients that mimic a natural diet. It typically includes raw meat (such as beef, chicken, or turkey), nutrient-rich organs (like liver or kidney), ground bone for added calcium and minerals, and fresh vegetables. 

The concept of this diet is that it mimics the natural diet of wild dogs, which usually consume prey animals and plants. Supporters of raw food diets argue that this approach is more natural and healthier for dogs than traditional kibble or canned food. 

Let’s crunch the numbers! Use our easy-to-use feeding calculator to determine the ideal portion for your pet. 

A: If you’ve decided that a raw diet is right for your pet, we recommend monitoring their *body weight and adjusting portions as needed. Factors like life stage, activity level, and even the season can impact how much food your dog requires. For example, dogs may need more food in colder months to maintain body heat, while warmer weather or lower activity levels might require less. Regularly assessing their weight and energy levels will help ensure they receive the right amount of nutrition year-round. 

General Guide for Feeding Raw Food: 
We recommend feeding the following percentages of your pet’s ideal body weight: 

  • Average adult pets: we recommend 2.5% of their ideal body weight. 
  • Active adult pets: we recommend 3% of their ideal body weight. 
  • Underweight pets: we recommend 3% of their ideal body weight. 
  • Overweight pets: we recommend 1.5- 2% of their ideal body weight. 
  • Senior Pets: we recommend 2% of their ideal body weight. 

Feeding Guidelines for Puppies/Kittens: 
We recommend feeding puppies 2–2.5% of their estimated adult weight. If you’re unsure, use these age-based guidelines: 

  • 3 months or younger: 8% of their current weight 
  • 4–6 months: 6% of their current weight 
  • 6–9 months: 4% of their current weight 
  • 9+ months: 2.5% of their current weight 

*Always monitor your pet’s body weight closely. While we provide feeding guidelines, they are not an exact science, as every pet has unique nutritional needs. If your pet is gaining or losing weight, you may need to adjust their portions accordingly. We also recommend consulting with your holistic veterinarian for any questions or concerns. 

Keep food frozen until ready to use. Thaw the necessary portion in the fridge—patties and sliders typically thaw within 12 hours. Store any unused portions in the fridge and use within 4 days. Handle raw food with proper care and hygiene, washing all surfaces, bowls, and utensils thoroughly with hot, soapy water.
