How to feed a raw food diet

You will want to feed between 2 - 3 % of your pet’s ideal body weight, 2% for less active pets and 3% for more active pets. Puppies require anywhere from 5-10% of their body weight. You'll have to keep checking that she or he's not walking away from food or getting a big belly. If your pup walks away from food, it might be time to start reducing his/her daily intake.

We recommend chicken (necks and backs) comprise about 50% of the meat portion your pet’s diet. You can also substitute chicken necks with duck (necks) or turkey necks. Muscle meats should be about 40% and organ meats at least 10% of the meat portion of the diet. The meat (meat, bone & organ meat) will be about 60% of your dog's food intake.

Vegetable matter will make up 40% of a dog's diet, while only make up about 15% of a cat’s diet. The ingredients in our veggie packs will vary. We try to use vegeta­bles and fruits that are in season. By doing this, we help ensure your pet receives the widest possible variety of nutrients.

If your dog likes chewing on “recreational” bones, simply substitute a chicken (neck) meal with a muscle meat meal and let them get their bone content from the recreational beef bone. A recreational bone would be a beef, lamb pork, or any other large mammal bone. Along with regular exercise, recreational chewing will round out a well-balanced, healthy dog’s life.

If you have access to fresh/frozen fish, you can include that in the diet.

Variety will help ensure your pet is getting all the nutrients it needs to live a long and healthy life.
