Frequently asked questions
What is meat. for dogs.?
A raw dog food brand that keeps things simple.
Just meat. No filler. No fuss. No weird stuff pretending to be food.
We feed dogs the way they were built to eat - naturally.
What’s in your food?
Meat.
100% meat (bone and offal included).
No grains, no legumes, no vegetable padding, no pea protein concentrate, and definitely no powdered flavours.
If it didn’t once moo, cluck, oink, or quack, we’re not putting it in a bowl.
Is your food suitable for all breeds and ages?
Yes.
Every dog - big, small, spotty, wrinkly, elegant, or unreasonably hairy - thrives on real food.
Puppies included (after weaning). Seniors included.
Common sense included.
Is it safe to feed raw?
Yes - just follow basic kitchen hygiene.
If you’ve ever handled raw meat before, congratulations: you’re qualified.
Just wash your hands, clean bowls, and don’t refreeze once defrosted.
How do I switch my dog to raw food?
Two options:
Option A: Go for it
Most dogs switch overnight with zero drama.
Some even celebrate.
Option B: Gradual
- Day 1–2: 25% raw
- Day 3–4: 50% raw
- Day 5–6: 75% raw
- Day 7: 100% raw
Either way, your dog will figure it out faster than you do.
How much should I feed?
Start with 2–3% of your dog’s body weight per day.
Adjust based on appetite, activity, and how snug the collar feels.
Don’t overthink it.
Dogs are honest - they’ll tell you.
Can I mix flavours?
Yes.
Dogs love variety - and their stomachs are better at adapting than ours.
Mix, rotate, alternate, freestyle - they’ll be thrilled.
Do I need to add vegetables or supplements?
No.
Dogs weren’t built to crave kale.
Our meals are meat-based and complete as part of a raw diet.
If you want to add extras, keep them natural - raw eggs, sardines, that sort of thing.
What comes in a box?
16 x 450g packs of raw meat.
Not 15. Not 17.
We like consistency.
Yes - you can buy them in multiples!
How do I store your food?
In your freezer.
Then defrost the day before in the fridge.
Serve cold or room temperature.
(Your dog doesn’t want a Michelin star - just the meat.)
How long does defrosted food last?
Once defrosted, use within 48 hours.
Keep refrigerated.
No reheating.
No microwaving.
No science experiments.
Is it human-grade?
Let’s just say: you could eat it.
But we’d really rather you didn’t.
Do you use British meat?
Yes - as local as possible.
Because fresh matters, flavour matters, and British sourcing is simply better for everyone involved (except the animals, but they were destined for someone’s plate either way).
Do you deliver nationwide?
Yes.
If you have a UK postcode and a freezer, we’ve got you covered.
What if my dog has allergies?
Start with single proteins (Chicken, Beef, Lamb, Turkey, Pork, Duck).
If your dog reacts to one flavour, switch to another.
Raw feeding makes identifying sensitivities surprisingly easy.
What if my dog has a sensitive stomach?
Ironically, raw food often solves that.
Start with Turkey or Chicken - gentle, lean, easy on digestion.
Will my vet approve?
Some will.
Some won’t.
Most are fine once they see better stools, better skin, and a happier dog.
We focus on results, not debates.
Can I feed a mixture of raw and kibble?
You can. Just not at the same meal time.
But your dog will definitely judge you.
Why is raw food better?
Because dogs are meat-eaters.
Not cereal-eaters.
Not filler-eaters.
Not cold-pressed sweet-potato-coated kibble nibblers.
Raw food respects biology - and dogs respond beautifully.
Why choose meat. for dogs.?
Because we keep things simple:
Real food.
Real ingredients.
Real results.
And because joy matters - especially at dinner time.
