Frequently asked questions

Q: How much do I feed?

A: How much to feed is calculated based on a percentage of your pup’s body weight. It’s generally recommended to feed, on average, 2% to 3% of their ideal adult weight per day. Some dogs may need a little less, while others may need more. You should also consider your dog’s size, energy levels, activity level, and stress levels.

Don’t get caught up in exact amounts. When you’re feeding a diet full of variety, including meaty bones, your pet’s diet can be well balanced.

Q: Are raw bones safe for my dog?

A: Yes!

Raw bones are safe for pets to eat because they are soft and easy to digest. In fact, raw bones are a natural and well-balanced food source for carnivorous animals. They are a major source of calcium and phosphorus, which help support healthy bones and the skeleton. Digested raw bones also contribute to the bulk that helps create firm stools.

Q: Do I have to transition my dog slowly from kibble to RAW?

A: No! You don’t have to transition them slowly. Keep it simple. The best way to switch to raw is to go cold turkey. It’s not recommended to mix kibble with raw, as kibble takes much longer to digest and may upset your pup’s tummy.

Feed your dog the last meal of their old food the night before, then make the switch the following morning. For most dogs, the transition is easy.

Q: What if my dog/cat won’t eat it?

A: Try adding some bone broth or gravy. The aroma can help entice them to eat.

Q: Do dogs need to eat vegetables?

A: Absolutely!

Vegetables are not essential for survival, but they can be beneficial. Dogs are not true carnivores like cats. They fall somewhere between carnivores and omnivores. Their wild canine cousins consume plant matter by eating the guts of their prey, which can contain vegetation. They may also forage for plant foods such as berries.

To add fruits and veggies, blend or pulverize fresh fruits and vegetables to help with digestion and absorption. Add 1–2 heaping tablespoons at your discretion.

We recommend canned pumpkin because it provides beneficial enzymes, is easy to find, is available year-round, and pups love it! Dark leafy greens are also a good option, including mixed lettuces, spinach, and baby kale.

Steer clear of onions and starchy vegetables such as potatoes and peas.

JUST KEEP IT RAW!!
