Raw feeding is the practice of feeding dogs a biologically appropriate diet made from uncooked meat, bones, organs, and select fruits and vegetables—mimicking what their ancestors ate in the wild.
Unlike heavily processed kibble, which often contains fillers, artificial additives, and rancid fats, a raw diet provides fresh, nutrient-dense food that supports better digestion, energy, skin, coat, and overall health.
A properly balanced raw diet typically includes:
🥩 Muscle meat (the base protein source)
🦴 Raw meaty bones (for calcium and dental health)
🫘 Organ meats (liver, kidney, spleen, etc. for essential vitamins and minerals)
🥕 Vegetables and fruits (optional, but add fiber and antioxidants)
💊 Supplements (like omega-3s, probiotics, or minerals as needed)
Balance is key—just feeding raw meat alone can lead to nutritional deficiencies. For those not ready to fully transition, adding real food to kibble—such as a raw egg, sardines, or lightly steamed veggies—can significantly boost nutritional value.
Raw feeding supports the idea that dogs thrive on fresh, whole food, not processed pellets. It's about returning to what their bodies are designed to eat—naturally.
