Our foods have a maximum of 10% bone content.

Our green vegetables are seasonal, usually kale and sometimes green cabbage. In the wild, wolves and dogs are self-selectors too and will feed on grass, greens, berries and other certain fruits. That’s why we include some digestible vitamin rich plants in our meals.

Our raw is completely artificial additive and preservative free. Nothing in there but completely natural ingredients.

We do not have a food specifically labelled as low phosphorus.

All dogs have the same digestive system regardless of shape, size or breed; so yes, raw is great for any dogs.

It is never too late to switch a dog to fresh food either.

Almost all of our range of raw meals are under 10% fat.

We never recommend this. Your dog’s stomach is specifically designed to break down bone content and bacteria efficiently. As processed food moves through the digestive system more slowly, the bacteria from the raw food is delayed in its journey by the processed food. To transition simply, fast your dog for one meal, and straight switch to the new raw meals at the next meal. This is the safest way.

Your dog may drink less water when fed raw. This is because of the much higher moisture content. Always have plenty of water available for your dog. They will only drink as much as they need.

The food is quite safe to keep in the fridge. It will last the same time frame as your own meat does in your individual fridge. This is usually 3-4 days.

Always follow the same hygiene rules as your own human grade raw meat. After preparation, always wash down surfaces with an anti-bacterial cleaner and thoroughly wash your hands.

Where possible, we source our meat locally, and then nationally from the UK. However, across the whole raw pet food industry certain regulations or limitations means some types of meat do need to be sourced from the EU.

At Natural Dog we strive to keep your dog healthy and happy. That’s why we think raw is best and provide an additive-free, unadulterated, wholesome and nutritional raw food for your dogs. We have over 40 years experience creating meals with meat, your dog is in safe hands with Natural Dog. All of our products are carefully created to give your dog the best quality ingredients to improve their health and vitality… and they love the recipes too! Trust us; our family of pooches have tested them and they passed the woof-o-meter.

Our range is aimed to be a a medium ground mince. Neither fine nor what is described as chunky.

Our range offers a variety meaning, once you have avoided any known intolerances, your dog can have any of the meals, or meats, we offer. We recommended a dog enjoys a variety of different protein sources where possible.

We recommend dogs miss one meal (evening is best), then are fed the new Natural Dog food the next morning.

There may be a slight stool change, often it becomes harder and whiter. Whiter stools are safe and due to the bone content of the food. Your dog may also drink less on a raw diet as the food naturally is more hydrated.

As our food is raw frozen, we do not send out samples. However we are stocked in stores nationwide, so picking up a Natural Dog chub roll to try is easy. Dogs very rarely turn their nose up at fresh, real meat food!

Our range is produced, packaged, stored and delivered at frozen temperatures. This ensures the bacteria count is as low as possible. It may be worth noting that meat you buy from a fridge in a supermarket will bring more bacteria into the household as it is purchased warmer than a frozen product.

*We strongly recommend practicing good hygiene for both types of meat*

Dogs have a strong stomach acid that can handle bacteria we are not able to, effectively acting as the ‘kill step’ that our cooking processes do for the meat we eat.

Dogs also very rarely leave fresh food in their bowl. Collecting the bowl from the floor and washing should be an important part of your daily hygiene practices.
