Raw food

6 replies

Hello,
Been feeding my dog raw food for a little while (5 months) and initially she was really keen but isn't really interested at all anymore and will only really eat when she absolutely needs too. She's been checked by the vet and is fine and her appetite is there for anything else ( I'm not filling her with alternatives though).
I'm looking for raw food recommendations (wondering if she's over the brand she's on or if it's not as good as some) as I'd like to keep her on raw.
Thanks in advance.

What I like about raw feeding is that every meal I give is slightly different.
I use mince as a base (several different mixes) then add a bit of offal or fish chunks, raw egg, roast potato or cooked rice (not raw, I know!)
We have a couple of suppliers nearby but I ddog prefer one shop over the other.
Do you vary the mix?

The Dogs Butcher, Paleo Ridge, Nurture Them Naturally and Poppy's Picnic have all been popular with my dog.

Sometimes she can be a bit unsure when I give a new product but I can typically get around this by mixing in tripe or topping with a bit of raw egg - she'll lick the bowl clean trying to extract every last trace of egg!

What brand are you currently feeding?

Highly recommend paler ridge.
My dogs are not keen on mince but love meat chunks.

They have a good selection of different meats.
Camel, venison, pheasants, buffalo, kangaroo plus your every day meats.
Plus there are all kinds of organs too.
If your current food doesn't contain liver add it as most dogs love liver.
They go through a chicken carcass quite easily per meal.

Luna&me, Cotswold raw, nutriment, natural instinct, wolftucker are all faves here. Leftover green or orange veggies, raw eggs, natural yoghurt are also all popular extras for added flavour.

Nutriment and Natures Menu are the most popular in this house

SpareDog isn't a huge fan of offal, so anything tripe-y or offal-y isn't greeted with much enthusiasm

Thank you, she's been having Poppy's picnic but seems to have lost interest in it.
Thanks to everyone who has mentioned others, maybe I should try varying it. Raw egg is a good idea, I'll try that.
Thank you everyone
