Frequently Asked Questions about Raw Dog Foods

How much raw food can I feed my dog?

The amount of raw food you can feed your dog will vary depending on a variety of factors. If you are feeding a packaged raw dog food, see product feeding guidelines for guidance on how much to feed by weight. Your vet can also give you good advice on show much raw dog food you should be feeding.

Is raw food good for dogs?

Raw food can be good for dogs, but there are some very important caveats. If you choose to feed your dog raw food, be sure to choose a complete and balanced raw food formula to avoid nutritional deficiencies. You should also know that there is an increased risk of bacterial and parasitic infections from raw food. Raw food diets may not be appropriate for dogs with chronic health conditions due to the increased risk of food-borne pathogens, and their higher protein content makes them a bad choice for dogs with kidney disease, too. However, raw food diets can be easier to digest, higher in protein and full of healthy whole food ingredients that can help your best friend thrive. Always talk to your vet if you are considering changing your dog's diet. Your vet should be able to recommend a good raw diet or suggest some healthy alternatives to raw.

Does raw dog food expire?

Raw dog food does expire, so be sure to check product packaging for expiration dates. Be sure to store and serve your raw dog food according to the package instructions. Throw away any expired food promptly and serve refrigerated raw foods within a few days. You should never let raw foods sit out at room temperature for too long, either.
