Yes, dogs are naturally meant to eat raw food diets. Their digestive tracts are shorter and their stomachs have a much higher acidity level than humans. This makes it easier for them to digest and thrive on a raw diet.

No. Once food is cooked, it loses most of its nutritional value including enzymes and biologically active essential fatty acids. Furthermore, many minerals, essential amino acids and vitamins become indigestible after cooking.

Breakfast-Lunch-Dinner is a human concept. No animal in the wild hunts three times a day. As long as their daily nutritional requirements are fulfilled, dogs can be fed twice or even once a day.

There is no wrong age to begin feeding raw. Younger dogs will transition faster and older dogs may take a while as their body adjusts to digesting raw nutrition.

Let me ask you this. If we go on a diet of fruits, vegetables, salads, etc. would we eat a pizza or a burger along with it, and still expect the same benefits from the diet? You must remember that raw feeding is a diet and needs to be followed diligently if you wish your dog to enjoy all its benefits. That being said, any amount of a natural raw diet along with kibble, will be more beneficial than a 100% kibble based diet. We must strive to do the best we can and the best we can afford for our furry babies.

Dogs, cats and other carnivores in the wild have been eating raw meat for millions of years and they are well equipped to deal with bacteria of all kinds. Their saliva contains Lysozyme, an enzyme that helps destroy harmful bacteria. Their gut is also designed to handle raw food and the associated bacteria.

All our recipes are made using the same human-grade ingredients as our own food. Just as you would follow certain hygiene protocol while handling your food, you must do the same when feeding your dogs raw. Wash your hands with soap after handling the meat, thoroughly wash the chopping board and cutlery, wipe down the kitchen counter after thawing the food, etc.

Vets recommend deworming dogs every three months. But do dogs and wolves in the wild get administered de-worming medicines? No. A raw-fed dog’s gut is highly acidic and this naturally helps them to control intestinal worms. We also add pumpkin seed powder to our recipes which works as a natural dewormer. I have not de-wormed my own dogs in the last 8+ years.

If you rotate meats regularly while feeding a raw natural diet, you don’t need to add any store-bought supplements. You may choose to give natural supplements, such as golden paste, bone broth, krill oil, eggs, etc., but it’s not necessary. Please do check with us if you have any specific supplement you’d like to feed your dogs.
