How to Feed Your Dog Raw Food (Simple UK Guide)

Feeding your dog raw food doesn’t need to be complicated.
Here’s how to do it the simple way; the meat. for dogs. way.

At its core, a raw diet is about giving your dog what they’re built to eat: high-quality meat, natural nutrients, and nothing unnecessary.

This guide walks you through exactly how to do it — from choosing the right food to feeding the correct amount — so you can get started with confidence.

 

What is raw feeding for dogs?

Raw feeding means feeding your dog a diet based primarily on raw meat, bone, and natural ingredients, instead of heavily processed kibble.

Switching your dog to a raw diet isn't rocket science.

Dogs are biologically designed to digest meat. A properly balanced raw diet provides:

  • High-quality protein for muscle and energy
  • Essential nutrients for skin, coat, and overall health
  • A simpler, more natural way of feeding

Step-by-step: how to feed raw dog food

step 1 - choose the right raw food

Dogs thrive on real meat.

So choose from our six raw, natural options:

Chicken, Beef, Lamb, Turkey, Pork, and Duck.
No fillers, no veg, no mystery powders pretending to be nutrition.

Just proper food from actual animals — the kind dogs have eaten for thousands of years.

step 2 - delivered frozen, fresh, and on time.

Your order arrives frozen, packed neatly, and ready for your freezer.

No drama. No dry ice circus. No boxes that look like they’re launching to Mars.

Just frozen raw dog food that stays frozen - as it should.

You pop it in the freezer.

Your dog stares at you expectantly.

Balance is restored.

step 3 — the easiest cooking you’ll never do.

Take a pack out the night before. Let it defrost in the fridge.

That’s it. Honestly. That’s the whole method.

Serve in your dog’s bowl and enjoy:

  • shinier coats
  • better stools
  • more energy
  • better overall condition
  • 10% more smugness

Raw feeding shouldn’t feel like an exam.

This is dinner - not chemistry.

feeding amounts (the simple version)

Most dogs do brilliantly on 2–3% of their body weight per day.

Big dogs, small dogs, old dogs, puppies - the same rule applies.

Examples:

  • 10kg dog → around 200–300g per day
  • 20kg dog → around 400–600g per day
  • 30kg dog → around 600–900g per day

But don’t panic - this isn’t rocket science.

If your dog looks hungry, feed a little more.

If they’re looking chunky, feed a little less.

Every dog is different. Adjust portions and routines to suit yours.

Dogs are honest. They’ll tell you.

Switch your dog to a raw diet

variety is allowed. encouraged, even.

Dogs love trying new proteins.

You can mix flavours, rotate daily, weekly, or pick a favourite and stick to it - whatever suits their tastebuds and your freezer space.

There’s more than one right way to feed meat.

(Just don't microwave or cook it. Please don’t do that.)

is raw feeding safe? (the common sense bit)

Yes - when handled properly.

  • Keep packs frozen until you need them
  • Defrost in the fridge
  • Use within 2 days of defrosting
  • Wash bowls and surfaces
  • Don’t refreeze

If you’ve ever handled human meat before, you already know what to do.

Nothing fancy. Nothing scary. Just basic kitchen rules.

Shop the Meat

new to raw? here’s how to switch smoothly.

You can switch overnight. We recommend going cold (in this case frozen) turkey.

Most dogs handle it beautifully.

But if you prefer a slower approach, try this:

  • Day 1–2 → 25% raw
  • Day 3–4 → 50% raw
  • Day 5–6 → 75% raw
  • Day 7 → 100% raw

Expect excitement, staring, bowl-licking, and a general sense of “finally.”

why it works? because dogs were built for meat.

Strong jaws. Sharp teeth. Short digestive systems.

Everything about dogs says “meat, please.”

Our food gives them:

  • natural energy
  • better digestion
  • healthier skin and coat
  • happier tummies
  • calmer, more content behaviour

It’s food that makes sense - to biology and to dogs.

we don’t overthink feeding. we just do it properly.

It’s the way dogs have eaten for millennia.

We’re not inventing anything new.

We’re just making it easy, affordable, and fun.

Real meat. Real food. Real joy.

That’s the whole idea.

Frequently asked questions

Can I mix raw food and kibble?

We do not recommend mixing raw with kibble. The answer is in the name (meat.for dogs.)

By mixing, you are feeding a highly processed and un-healthy food with a natural diet.

Is raw food suitable for puppies?

Yes — but it needs to be properly balanced.

What’s the best meat for dogs?

There’s no single “best” option. Chicken, beef, lamb, and turkey are all excellent — variety is key.

How long can raw dog food stay in the fridge?

Typically 2–3 days after defrosting.
