We prioritize your puppy's health from day one. That's why they'll be weaned onto a nutritious raw food diet. To ensure a smooth transition and continued well-being, we strongly encourage you to maintain this diet. We're committed to your success, and will provide you with comprehensive information and support to confidently continue raw feeding.
INTRODUCTION
Why raw? Because it's the biologically appropriate diet for your dog (Canis Lupus Familiaris). While kibble offers convenience, even the highest-quality brands can't match the comprehensive benefits of a balanced raw food diet. To debunk common myths and discover the truth about raw feeding, we recommend watching Dr. Karen Becker's informative videos.

PLANNING A RAW DIET
Switching to a balanced raw food diet might seem different from scooping kibble, but it's simpler than you think, especially with our guidance. We're here to make it easy!
Feeding Frequency:
- Our 8-week-old puppies are accustomed to three meals daily (breakfast, lunch, and dinner).
- Between 3 and 4 months, transition to two meals a day (breakfast and dinner), like an adult dog.
Portion Control:
- Regularly weigh your puppy weekly to determine the correct food amount.Maintaining a healthy weight is crucial. Overfeeding leads to obesity, a common issue in dogs.
- For precise daily portion calculations, please refer to our detailed feeding guide below.
Ensuring your dog receives complete nutrition on a raw diet is simpler than you might think. You have two primary options:
1. Convenient Pre-Made Raw Mixes:
This is the easiest approach. Many pet stores offer high-quality frozen raw mixes.
- Look for reputable brands that provide a balanced blend of ground bones, organ meats (offal), and muscle meat. These are ideal, especially for puppies under 3 months.
- Pay attention to the mix composition:
* Moderate the amount of red meat (beef, lamb, etc.).
* Limit the quantity of organ meats (heart, kidneys, liver, green tripe, etc.).
* Crucially, ensure the mixes are grain-free.
