Frequently Asked Questions

Raw feeding is a feeding style focused on minimally processed foods, such as raw proteins, organs, natural bone content, and whole-food ingredients, inspired by a dog’s natural dietary instincts. Many dog owners choose raw feeding as part of a more species-appropriate approach to canine nutrition.

When handled and stored properly, many dog owners successfully feed raw diets as part of their dog’s routine. As with any raw food product, proper handling, storage, sanitation, and feeding practices are important.

We recommend:

  • keeping products frozen until use
  • thawing in the refrigerator
  • washing hands and surfaces after handling raw food

If your dog has specific medical conditions or dietary concerns, consult with your veterinarian before making dietary changes.

A general starting point for healthy adult dogs is approximately 2-3% of their ideal body weight per day.

Puppies and highly active dogs may require more food depending on age, activity level, metabolism, and body condition.

Yes.

Many customers begin by:

  • mixing raw food with their current kibble
  • replacing one meal per day
  • using raw as a nutritional topper
  • gradually increasing raw feeding over time

Our philosophy is simple: progress matters more than perfection. Even incorporating fresher, less processed foods into your dog’s routine can be a meaningful step toward improving overall diet quality.

All raw meals should remain frozen until ready to use.

Once thawed: store in the refrigerator, use within several days, avoid repeated thawing and refreezing.

Proper storage and handling are important for freshness and food safety.

Yes. Our treats are freeze-dried in small batches to remove moisture while preserving their natural flavor, aroma, texture, and nutrients. They’re made with simple ingredients and no unnecessary preservatives.

Store our freeze-dried treats in their original resealable bag in a cool, dry place away from heat, sunlight, and moisture. Press out excess air and reseal the bag tightly after each use.

Refrigeration is not necessary and may introduce moisture through condensation. For the best freshness and quality, use by the date printed on the package.

Many raw feeders notice smaller and firmer stools after transitioning to raw feeding. This is often attributed to dogs utilizing more of the food they consume, resulting in less overall waste compared to heavily processed diets.

Many owners notice cleaner teeth and fresher breath when incorporating raw feeding and natural chewing into their dog’s routine. Natural chewing and less-processed diets may help reduce buildup compared with some heavily processed foods and treats.
